Shayla Tanner SJHS STAFF WRITER Ms. Neeley, a teacher at the Springville Junior High School, was asked to be the new yearbook teacher in late March, after last year's yearbook teacher left. Ms. Neeley said, "I was really excited to teach yearbook, but I was also nervous. I was on yearbook year-book staff when I was in junior high, so I knew it would be really fun, but I was nervous about every thing that I would have to organize." In yearbook Ms. Neeley teaches the students about taking good pictures, making mak-ing creative layouts, and organizing the yearbook. The students of yearbook staff are in charge of designing de-signing the yearbook, taking tak-ing and editing pictures, giving surveys, picking the cover design, and deciding on the theme. Every year there is a new yearbook staff. This year there are seven stu dents. We had the chance to interview three of those students. We interviewed Allison Udall, Alyssa Payne, and Kyle Gashler. Udall said that she likes taking yearbook because there are a lot of good kids in that class. Gashler said he loves taking yearbook because it gives you a sense of accomplishment. "Yearbook is not an easy class, in the beginning it's easy, but it gets harder throughout year," Payne explained. New teacher debuts at SJHS Abi Santiago SJHS STAFF WRITER . Recycling is a big step for us to help out with global glob-al warming. Recycling is taking a product you won't use anymore and use it for something else. ItDs very important for everyone to recycle.

Shayla Witney, a student at Springville Junior High said, "It's important to recycle re-cycle because if you don't then everything just goes to waste. "D Students recycle anytime any-time they can; they say it's safe for the environment. It's important that we recycle re-cycle everything we can so we can preserve our resources.D Mrs. Murdock, the finance fi-nance secretary, said she gets a check every month from recycling that helps support the journalism class. The money from recycling provides funds to buy equipment such as cameras and computers for the journalism students to use. Recycling other prod- ucts, like soda bottles, saves energy when you use it to make new products. prod-ucts. We can all prevent that if we just all put in the effort to recycle and not litter. We have a dump-ster dump-ster at the south side of the school, and everyone is invited in-vited to come and recycle your paper, newspapers and old phone books. One person can make a difference.
