By William Robinson
Cullman High School

Cars are obviously the most popular way to get from point A to point B, and the number of drivers has increased rapidly over the years.

Race girl

Fairview High School

That sport is drag racing. All my life my mother and father have been into racing and fast cars. Every Saturday night you could find my dad at the Baileyton Goodtime Drag strip racing. He always had some kind of fast drag car.

You see me oh so clearly
Yet still you do not heed me.
Whatever I do or say
Help to keep my emotions at bay.

Fahrenheit 451: The pursuit of happiness
Fahrenheit 451 isn’t just the temperature at which books burn. Ray Bradbury’s ground-breaking novel, released over 50 years ago, was a proposition of our forthcoming society. For the general public back then, this book was way ahead of its time.
