Their lyrics mostly dealt with the relationship between Russia and the United States. Senior Chris Cano stated, We don't want to be another band, we want to change political views. Llnorthodox, however, was a band with a different outlook. Most of their songs dealt with school and the general sense of everything that was wrong in today's world. Senior Greg Grams explained, We're not a peace band, but we're trying to change the world and its stuck- up attitude. Still, another approach was shown through the band, Rage. Their songs dealt with war and love. Although, these bands had different styles, and a different approach to writing their lyrics, a common factor in all of them was dedication Whether they practiced four times a week or every day, each band was willing to give it their all.

I0 feeling of dread in the deepest pit of the stomach slowly intensified into a cauldron of raging anxiety. Was this the result of eating a bad piece of fruit? No, it was the effect of trying to meet a deadline. From the students to the teachers to the administration, everyone was affected by deadlines. Although students had deadlines for reports, current events, and other special projects, most of their deadlines consisted of turning in homework. Sometimes all the deadlines became too much to handle. l get confused about counting paper for his government class, senior Peter hree more days and ' . Assigned a term Trist finishes his research before he can compile the information into a paper. Deadlines Deadlines: a time to what l'm doing. When this happens, l lose all interest in my homework, confessed junior Cristina Kang. lt was obvious that students had to turn in their work on time, what was often forgotten was that teachers also had deadlines to meet. For every 30 assignments turned in, there was usually only one teacher to grade them. This particular teacher probably also had five other classes of work to deal with. One student who recognized the magnitude of a teacher's workload was senior Kevin McBride. l wouldn't trade my work for a teacher's! Besides just grading, they also have to deal with kids who constantly complain about their grades! sympathized Kevin. While most of the students were harnessed with daily assignments, some students had additional deadlines that were often even more time consuming and pressured-filled. Turning out a newspaper twice a month meant that all the reporters in Journalism had to meet their deadlines. According to Editor-in-Chief Steve Westman, Deadlines are not that bad when you have your story approved and your pictures developed. The bad part is that most of the time one or the other is not close to finished. That's when a few more gray hairs start to show. Without the frequency of deadlines Journalism had, other classes were also strapped with important deadlines. ln the art and dance classes, if the students didn't finish their art projects or dance routines, they were left with a low grade or no grade at all. Perhaps, the only beneficial aspect of deadlines was that they forced a person to keep up. As the old adage stated, a person had to decide to sink or swim. by Gloria Tae
