Early morning classes are difficult for some students to get into. Brett Gay tries to concentrate in English. ACADEMICS Students can acquire a great amount of knowledge by putting their hearts into their classwork. Generally, students take the classes to expand in areas of their interest such as science and math. But aca- demic classes provide students with an opportunity to show others their skills and workmanship. They open new doors by allowing students to experi- ence different countries and cultures, and they sharpen communication skills which students find helpful in heart-to-heart talks.

MATH AND SCI€NC€ Students Tackle Difficult Courses If you were to ask students which class they disliked the most many students would reply one the required math or science courses. Of all the required courses math and science classes seem to be the most difficult ones. As soon as they have fulfilled the two year science requirement and the two and a half year math requirement, many students are finished with science and math classes for the rest of high school. But some brave students continue on in these areas. Why do students take such difficult classes if they don’t have to? Senior Jamie Loseke stated, “I took Physiology because I’m going into the medical profession and I thought it would give me a good background for college.” Brad Kapels took Chemistry be- cause he thought he might need it for college. Margaret Kosch said she took Physiology because “I find it interesting, and I need it for college.” Mr. Barnes, the teacher who boggles students minds in Algebra II and Ad- vanced Math, said these classes “expand your horizons”. Students enrolled in math or science classes find that they spend many hours studying for these difficult classes. In order to succeed in math or science, they must keep up with their homework assignments and study diligently for their tests. Even af- ter all the work put into these classes, many students feel that math and science courses are more rewarding and better prepare them for life after Lakeview.
