lt' an Honor . . . CC rother, what a break! Sign up while you '95 have the chance! I did, and am I glad. You! You took an honors course? Why, you're no brain. Of course not! You don't necessarily have to be a genius to be in an honors course. I just loved it. We did a lot of different things, and something was always popping. I heard that honors courses get just piles and piles of homework! Oh, you do more work, I guess, but mostly because you want to. You get interested, and before you know it you've finished a lot of ex- tras . . . you get so you like to. Gives you a feeling of se- curity because you are surer you'l1 be set for college . . . As in Mr. Fox's English V group, honors classes often experiment with unusual and creative projects. This class adopted The Old lady Shows Her Medals for radio presentation and tape-recorded their reading of the lines. The informality of honors courses is demonstrated by journalism l students. Working in small committees they try out their writing efforts on each other. Outside reading, rather than textbook assignments, composes a major part of the history Ill honors course. Mr. Kaloger helps his class digest material from many sources concerning pre-Civil War America. The findings of individual research projects are reported in a panel discussion. Polly Walker, Jo Allor, Betsy Hammond, and Kathy Zabinslri, 1lB's, pooled their analyses at a short story in Mr. Krauz's English V honors class.
