AS Wandering Eyes and Hidden Answers ow did sophomores feel about cheating? The results of a survey given to 435 sophomores were pretty surprising. Only 31 of these peo- ple said that they had never cheated on a test, and only 15 sophomores said that they'd never copied a homework assignment. Students' feelings on cheating were mixed. The tallies were close, but most C135l thought cheating was o.k.', f If you don't get caught as some people wrotel. 127 people said that cheating in any and all cases is wrong and 108 said that at times cheating might be necessary to get a good grade or prevent getting an awful one. You shouldn't cheat often, but sometimes it's necessary to keep the grades up, especially if somebody's got really strict parents who get emotional if their kid comes home with a bad grade, said one sophomore. Dr. Bill LaForge, school psychologist, commented, Cheating is the unfor- tunate result of putting grades ahead of learning. Perhaps we need to begin teaching values here.

iiyir . .,t. 1, t 9 'V ow important is your family to you? Ac- cording to the 435 sophomores, their ,, family came first in most of their lives. lt was obvious priorities have changed for ' them over the years. Sophomores were asked to prioritize school, friends, sports and activities, and mf' dates. The results were overwhelming, yet not surprising. Family came first leaving a slim margin with friends. School was not far behind, having nearly as many votes. Sophomores rated those as common priorities, but there were also some varying activities that were impor- well. There's a lot of pressure in selecting priorities that your parents agree with, remarked Ryan Longacre. According to the sophomores, high school influenced and changed their priorities, the most, and they began to consider their future. One sophomore wrote My priorities have focused on school because by looking ahead, l realize that education is priceless. My priorities have changed a lot, and l'm sure they will change again as I get older, commented Jenny Korn. Alix? any J J P 2 as l TAKING A BREAK - from her busy schedule to have a snack is JV cheerleader Laura Neal. Sophomores had to manage their time to fit everything they needed into their day.
