But because of the Weighted grades that took effect in the middle of the seniors' freshman year, the enrollment had riseng and the classes had changed. Honors classes have gotten easier because they let more students in, and so the overall quality of the students has gone down, senior Janell Lehman said. Some think the increased enrollment was due to the prestige involved with being a part of the honors classes. It seems the 'in' class to be a part ofg everyone wants to be associated with those kids, English teacher, Mr. Roy Nichols, said. Although students entered honors classes for many different reasons, the overall consensus was that more students chose the class for the learning challenge.

That wa then...I Honors closs dilemmo Some students wanted a pedagogue that could infil- trate their mind with a ple- thora of information. Where would one have found a peda- gogue along with the meaning of those words? Most likely, an honors class had a teacher with a lot of information. Honors classes began nine years ago, grew rapidly, and overcame many changes. At first, honors classes were developed to provided a challenge to the achieving student and were not weight- ed. The kids back then didn't take the class for the Weighted grade, and some- Among the few students in the small French III-IV class is Kirsten johnson.

The classes were smaller and more intent because the students were there simply for the chal- lenge, Mr. Nichols said. Rigorous honors classes also included college prepa- ratory courses such as Alge- bra II and Trigonometry, which was also not weight- ed. Although honors classes were altered since they began, one thing still held trueg they still provided a challenging curriculum for the student that desired one. ' s 'l1

The comings and goings of students were through one entrancefexitg neither Wal- nut Lawn or Primrose Cfor- merly Westviewj were open- ed. I remember a lot of times that one couldn't leave before 5 p.m., English teacher, Mrs. Ellen Henry, said. No one stopped for a quick snack at Burger Station or McDonald's. But some peo- ple liked it that way. When there wasn't anything crowd- This backup in traffic was caused by having only one exit for all the cars to leave school. This long line made it take a long time to leave the parking lot. ing Kickapoo, we stood out. It was a symbol that physi- cally showed the great things we can do, and that made us stand apart from everyone else, senior Jen- ny Collins said. The seniors were the first to use the new addition to the building. Approximate- ly 21 classrooms were added to house the growing student body. It was real- ly nice then. We weren't crowdedg there was room to walk in the halls. It took four years to realize how empty it was then, senior Michael Barnett said. Then things began to change. 1 . ff .. 4.
