They were all characters in the required English readings. While some students found these classic novels to be useless, the majority thought that they were truly worthwhile. Senior Lynn Onstead commented, Ulf they didn't require them, l wouldn't read them. l thought Moby Dick was ridiculous, but I usually liked them and was glad l'd read them. Many students' opinions differed on the question of whether or not the teachers should have attempted to influence their viewpoints on these classics. On one hand, many people believed that a teacher's influ- ence helped in their comprehension of the novel. Because of the teachers' explana- f tions, l understand the books better when l read them in class than if I had read them at home, explained senior Kim Grover. On the other hand, many students be- lieved that the teachers should allow them to interpret the books themselves. Junior Jennifer Lindstrom remarked, l believe that the teachers go into too much symbol- ism. l'd like to decide for myself what the author is saying. Senior Alicia Pimentel may have summed up the feelings about book re- quirements best when she said, I think that requiring books is a necessity. If the teachers didn't require that we read certain classics, we probably would never read them and never really know what influ- ences the writers of today. by Kimberly Downs - 'f' , nm - ,,, f ,Ww gg, - 4. ff ,mv .,, ....

oncentration. Other tennis team hopefuls look on while senior Brian Savage displays intense strategic movements. At tryouts, ev- 'yone got a chance to experience competition. uiet! People taking a test! Each person in this classroom feels the pressure to pass the test Some strived for the highest grade when Hers just wanted to pass. M if-4, f44ead0 e felt the trickle of sweat roll down his back. He could not con- tain the onset of emotions emerging from his mind, for this was where the competitive spirit began. For that intellectual person, this meant the desire for the top grade on a test. To the runner, the competition was against time. At tryouts, everyone competed against ev- eryone else to discover who would be cho- sen and who would be rejected. As junior Jimmy Lee pointed out, Com- peting is part of human nature. Most agreed that it was a good quality assuming that it would not be taken to an extreme, such as resorting to an act of cheating. Competition also played a major role in sports. For the victor, it boosted self-confi- dence. For the defeated, this spirit often ignited the will to try harder. Many pre- ferred the unity of team sports like freshman basketball player Greg Grider. He said, l'd rather compete as part of a team so we'd all share the glory or the defeat. Whether the people were trying out for a part in a play or a spot on the pep squad, competition existed. Some people thrived on it because it brought out the best in them. As varsity songleader Ashley Novak stated, The better the competition, the lesser the chance to win, but more impor- tantly, the more challenging it is. Once the will to compete was ignited, people strived to attain their. best. Freshman Kenny Rhee stated, Without competition, life would lack determination and excitement. by Mary Jung Freshmen 2
