dential election was one of them. In two
school elections, the majority re-elected
the students alike, and were discussed in great
length in classes such as religion and history to
give the students an understanding of what was
really taking place in those areas.
Closer to home, CBA underwent numerous
changes initiated by Br. Michael, the new vice­
principal. Noticing the countless number of peo­
ple who arrived at school late, Br. Michael de­
creed that detention would be served the same
day to students entering homeroom after the bell
rang. Another problem Br. Michael encountered
was the fact that students were cutting classes.
To alleviate the problem, he requested that teach­
ers list the names of individuals absent from class
in order to find the culprits. To further polish the
appearance of the student body, Br. Michael en­
forced the dress code already established to its
full extent. This was done after repeated viola­
tions by the students, who did not take the dress
code seriously. These details definitely make CBA
stand out among other schools. The Middle States
Evaluation Team apparently agreed by giving
CBA accreditation after extensive research to see
if we met the board's high standards. Not all
school reviewed receive this honor, adding to the
prestige of our school. All of these facts prove
that CBA truly has A Touch Of Class.

George Bush as the president. However, these
results did not mirror the real election, in which
Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was the clear-cut
winner. As of this writing, Clinton is attacking the
armed forces' ban to keep homosexuals out of
the regiment, and has placed Hillary Clinton, the
First Lady, in charge of developing a national
health-care program and the legislation needed
to carry out the plans. Our school responded by
forming the first chapter of Young Republicans,
whose membership grows larger daily.
Around the world, the focus was on the So­
malian Civil War and the Serbian-Bosnian con­
flict. In Somalia, thousands died of starvation each
day because enemy forces captured food and
supplies being sent to them. The United States
government began airlifts, and soon sent in troops
to insure that the relief supplies reached those
who needed them most. Although the U.S. has
refused to become involved in the Serbian-Bos­
nian conflict, it has expressed its shock at the
atrocities committed by both sides, especially the
Serbian concentration camps. The conditions of
these camps resemble those of the German Nazi
concentration camps, in which the atrocities done
