Stag Mglpd john Morrison Challenging classes fill As underclassmen, seniors dreamed of the ease, the freedom, the relaxation that awaited them as seniors. They would be free from the confines of the campus, free to take five or even four classes if they wished and if they weren't short credits. For few, when they reached that point, this was the reality. For most, it was still a dream, unattainable. Seniors found that harder academic classes would put them in a better standing with colleges when they were weeding down their entrance lists. Classes like calculus, trigonom- etry, physics and chemistry seemed to carry more weight with the Ivy League schools than twenty units of Work Experience. Classes such as Sociology, Honors English and Spanish III seemed to carry more weight than Office Aide and ROP courses. Those courses were adequate for many, but students striving for entrance into the very competitive universities like UCLA, Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Yale, and Cal Tech found that the better they excelled in more challenging academic classes, the better the chances for acceptance. Ed Seela's Calculus class enrollment increased by twelve. Three trigonometry classes and two physics classes were filled as were five chemistry classes. I believe that the future will be most definitely technologically inclined, said math teacher Tom Miller while explaining the unexpected surge into these classes. Seniors who did not take academic classes will be at a disadvantagef, he added. Senior Ron Frazelle, like others in his class, began the period by doing SIR', or Silent Independent Reading. Most English classes adopted f'SIR as part of the daily curriculum when it was learned that the average high school student does not read anything for enjoyment that is not specifically required and that he will be tested on. -.. .4 . it Q -- Stacey Moberg Monique Morand Senior Elizabeth Prescott reminisces with graduate Russ Marla Muccillo Sondra Murphy Alterman at the CIF Final game against Los Altos.
