Class Assignments That Go Beyond Pen And Paper Tests Illustrations, medieval fighting weapons or brochures on the Mew World to Rock Day, Just to name a few. You may ask, A few what? Well, these projects and others were used to making history and English more inter- esting. Mrs. Cheryl Simmons, English teacher, said, Layout and design was one of my per- sonal strong points and I thought it would be an educational, as well as a fun experience to real- ize the techniques advertisers used. Other projects used were, for instance, mosaic tiles. It was fun, I enjoyed it, but they were very tedious tasks, replied Ka- ren Madokoro, junior. Students in Honors 4 English chose a pic- ture and recreated it through us- ing colored tiles or colored beads. At first I was confused on how to write about a rock. Then when I got into it, it was kinda fun as well as interesting, said Christ al Mozer, senior. Rock day was used as a timed writing exer- cise for A. P. English. Timed writ- ings were another form of writ- ing project. These writings usually lasted anywhere from 12 minutes to 40 minutes on a given day. Accord- ing to Doug Corbitt, senior, It was hard because we had to push our brains to the limit but the results were worth it. by Christina Edtvan hen my stu- dents draw a graphic sum- mary they are tapping another part of their creativity. o; ' N GUARD.

Hard Work Contributed To Honor Roll And Student Of The Month, If you want to be an honor roll student, be prepared for a lot of work. Their are over 250 students on the honor roll. I do my home- work for about two hours and I study for all of my hard classes, stated straight A student, Coliene Sandman. To be honored, you must be ready to be dedicated to your schoolwork, sometimes giving up time with your friends. Joyce Mado- koro stated, If you want to be a honor roll student, set a goal and try your hardest to reach for it. These students can pay $1.50 fee to join CSF. The student becomes a life mem- ber. Arlington had about 25 seniors that have been on honor roll stu- dent since they were freshman. CSF met twice a year, and they also helped in the career fair in April. Nino Nanthathammik, a freshman, is an honor roll student with a 4.0 GPA. Nino is also one of the few people to ever become a student of the month in two subjects. In Octo- ber, Nino was the student of the month for Auto and P.E. Mrs. Phyllis Muhleman, English teacher, stated, What I look for in a student, before I choose him for student of the month, is that he works hard. His attitude also plays a part too. He must do well in class. by Brian Downs was really su- prised about be- ing a honor roll student and also being student of the month in two subjects. « N I OTUDIOUS SENIOR. Yearbook Editor.
