CHECKMATE. Kevin Odum, sophomore, doesn't believe in idle time. He spends his spare time playing chess. BOOK WORMIN’ IT. Mark Junker, sophomore, always carried a paperback in case he had extra time during, before or after classes. ONLY ONE MISTAKE. That’s all it took to make sophomore Ben Perkins tear up a page of notes. Uncommon Laborers j here was one in every class | r — the person who hadn’t L made a B on anything since P.E. in first grade. No matter how difficult the assignment was, they'd make the best grade and have it finished ten minutes after it was assigned. School was one of the most important things in their lives. They lived to work, to succeed, to overachieve ... and then to complain about how bad their grades probably were. These workaholics, though they didn't mean to be. annoyed everyone around them with constant tales of woe about test grades. The continual cry of I probably flunked it” aggravated even the most nonmotivated student. Everyone knew the bookworms had been studying for the assignemnt for the past three weeks. Really, I only study for about half an hour every night, explained freshman Ravin Agrawal. People think I study for hours. Serious workaholics, really true overachievers, were sparse however. There was only one or two. sometimes three, in each class. But they put the entire class in jeopardy on occasions when teachers would have dropped test grades except for that one perfect paper. There's a guy in my English class who always knows the answers, commented Dwayne Heard. When the teacher asks if anyone had a perfect paper after we finish a test, he always raises his hand. Sometimes these students were the object of merciless teasing. Many people took great pride in making a better grade than one of the workaholics. But they grew thick skins and laughed off the jokes. People probably tease us because they're jealous, decided junior, Jim Tarver. It doesn't bother me. Dedicated to being educated to the max, the workaholics have no trouble getting into college. They are the uncommon laborers. — CHOZEN 158 — Sophomores
