According to Funk and Wag- nails Standard Dictionary, a pris- on is, Any place of confine- ment. to some students at Sea- holm the definition most clearly described a new procedure this year. That ' s easy, remarked soph- omore Debbie Evangelista. Prison is in-school suspension. Regardless of some students ' dislike of in-school suspensions, they became the newest form of punishment designed to hopefully curtail students ' abuses of school policies. This disciplinary action was served in room E-109. During the day, students had at least two bathroom breaks and a short time to eat their lunches. I just forgot about a detention . . . stated Aimee Cote, after a long day in the suspension room. There were different punish- ments for each case of suspen- sion. If the violations were consid- ered severe, more days were added. 1 think in-school suspension was a good deterrment, because who wants to sit in a room all day and do nothing? stated Mike Rafferty. Despite its controversy among students, the in-school suspension gave offenders plenty of time to ponder the reasons for being sentenced to their place of confinement.

stress Tests Throughout a student ' s high school career, there are many stressful situations to be faced. To some, just the decision about what to wear to school in the morning is a crisis, but for most students the main anxiety producers are the dreaded SAT and ACT tests. As if it weren ' t bad enough that the brain will be taxed beyond repair, one must also give up a Saturday (and the Friday night before) in order to be subjected to such torture. The SAT, or Scholastic Apti- tude Test, is a measure of your aptitude or ability to obtain higher knowledge while the ACT or American College Test is a mea- sure of already learned facts and figures. Some ways to possibly help diminish the stress arc available. There are books at the library and also classes aimed at improving knowledge and test scores. There are conflicting opinions about the validity and usefulness of both tests as a standard for college entrance. Some schools require both tests while some only require one or the other. Junior Sarah York feels that The tests are beneficial to take because they give colleges something else to look at besides a student ' s grades. The best advice to reduce stress is to have the faith that others have survived, and plan in advance to get the help you need so that you can take both tests with confidence and have a mini- mum of nausea, nail-biting, hair pulling and brain damage. Working against the clock, junior Katie Everhardus concentrates on the mathe- matics section of the SAT in hopes of scoring well. photu by Paul Donar .»CT , IM i M III IIMII I I IIMJ II Ml ' c»«-7i; ' ' s, 124 SOPHOMORES
