Opportunities We here at EHS are very lucky when it comes to English. Many may not realize it, but we have numerous opportunities in our English classes. Think how easy it is to merely regard learning gram- mar, analyzing poetry, reading literature, writing com- positions and giving speeches as a chore. And if you ' ve taken an English course at Elmhurst, surely you ' ve done it all, if not more. So why not consider it an op- portunity? It may sound like some line a teacher would give you, but coming from a student it is just as sincere. There are classes for all levels of English students, from honors English and senior composition to the average English class. We also have a speech class which is very good experience. Even if public speaking isn ' t your thing knowing how to deliver a speech will probably come in handy sometime later in your life. Right now it may seem that every time you turn around your English teacher is breathing down your neck about some stupid little comma you left out, but remember, in the long run it ' s to our benefit! Senior Mark Zurcher assumes a comfortable position to further his knowledge of the English language as several of his classmates look on. Jennifer Leeper, sophomore, concentrates on her honors English assignment while her classmates ' attention spans vary widely. 18 — Academics

Math Everywhere Everywhere, every day, in many different ways, math seems to be somehow related. From counting down the days till schoors out to figuring out if you have enough money to take that special someone to that special restaurant, or if they ' ll have to settle for McDonalds; to trying to average your algebra grade, for some reason math always seems to be involved. Though we ' re still trying to figure out when we ' ll need to know how to graph all those things; Mr. Habegger says that you can never graph too much. If proofs, parabolas, sin., tan., absolute value, theorums, angles, polynomials, logarithms, rationals, or integers don ' t ring a bell as of yet, just give them time. By the end of your four years, or more, of EHS you will be almost too familiar with them! That ' s no lie either. On the more serious side, however, math is a very important part of our lives. It was important when we were born, as it will surely be when we die. No matter if it is freshman algebra, geometry, or trigonometry, math is, and always will be, never ending. Though it is hard to admit a teacher could ever be right, agreeing with Phil Habegger on one point is easy. He has been known to express the thought that what we learn in high school math will repay itself and then some, later in life. Truer words have never been spoken. So, take advantage of what ' s yours for the taking. Miss Hollingsworth explains (he finer points of writing proofs to her geometry students. Mr. Habegger pauses for a moment to take a much needed breather before showing his ad- vanced algebra students how to make yet another smooth move. 20 — Academics
