Sub-Freshmen A Class Of Strong-Minded Individuals The members of the class of nineteen-hundred eighty-seven was so enlightened that it was not surprising that they all chose to be a part of the Frederick Douglass High School family. From observation, one can come to the conclusion that this class has a wide range of knowledge (savior-faire), and that they had much insight into what was going on around them. This was most likely a result of their conscious- ness, perception, and compre- hension of the things that they saw, heard, and read. There is no defense or securi- ty for any of us except in the highest intelligence and devel- opment of all. According to counselor, H. Bi- gelow, the class of nineteen-hun- dred eighty-seven, has a broader base of information and was exposed to more than many classes preceding it. The great span of knowledge which has been digested by the sub-fresh- men class has caused it to devel- op a great desire to learn. This year there was a greater demand to take advanced classes than there were slots for. This shows that the incentive to learn was very great this year. Even more thrilling was the new observation that the advanced classes were more evenly distribu ;ed between boys and girls. This may be a trend that more males were tak- ing more of an interest in their academic courses. From a sub-freshman ' s point of view, one may find that the usual English and mathematics classes were the most challeng- ing. But newly arriving on the scene of challenging classes was the PECE course. Some sub- freshmen found that literature and composition were mind-bog- gling. Trying to say and attempt- ing to write on particular subjects in a specified form was antago- nizing. In mathematics. Algebra I, was a new concept which for some sub-freshmen which takes some time to comprehend. Along with the Algebra I class some sub-freshmen were exposed to computers, which was also a challenge. The PECE class was a course that primarily gave exper- ience in different aspects of pur- suing a career. Also, from a sub-freshman ' s point of view, Band, Chorus, and Science were among the most enjoyable classes. Band, Chorus, and Science were classes which most sub-freshmen found to be rigorous and fun. If you teach him how to read, he ' ll want to know how to write, and this accomplished, he ' ll be running away with himself.
