Another Monday morning in history class, what next! As the teacher slowly walked to the front of the class, a feeling of doom went over the room. Mr. Richard Diamond, history teacher, wrote on the board three terrible words; Research paper due! The class was in an uproar, but they had two months until the deadline. I don ' t know why I didn ' t do my work right away. All I could think is why do it today if I could do it tomorrow or the next day. Then all of a sudden it was due and I didn ' t have it - done, emphasized Lynn Stringer, sophomore. Students often worked under stress and still received passing grades. I always got my work done but I usually waited until the last minute to do it, stated Doug Dooley. Some people had personal reasons for putting things off. One reason was activities after school.

Little did these stu- dents know, that field trips were for learning, too! Field trips usually took up a large portion of the day. Quite often, students missed several of their classes. In order for students to attend, they had to get all of their teachers to sign permission slips releasing them from class. Students also had to have their parents sign a waiver for the school. I didn ' t like getting all of my teachers signatures, but it Fun Disguised As Learning! was worth it to get out of class for our yearbook field trip to UCR, commented Doug Corbitt.
