Bad Tirriingl- - - New credit requirements Was it conspiracy or bad tim- ing? Sophomores wondered about the upgrading of graduation requirements for their class. Stu- dents thought, Why begin with our class? Couldn't they have waited just one more year? The standards changed in several ways. If two credits of one subject were required, now three were required. Sophomores must graduate with three history and either three mathftwo science or three scienceftwo math credits. A new required V2 credit was added band, choir, humanities, or string orchestra. All other requirements re- mained the same-4 English, V2 P.E., and V2 health. Besides the required 13W academic credits, sophomores must also have an ad- ditional 6V2 credits for a total of twenty to graduate. When asked for his opinion on the matter, Ric Wade said, 'llt makes things tougher on us, but it will be better for all of us in the long run. More subjects on our transcripts seems to impress the in the area of fine arts. This credit could be obtained by taking art, college recruiters.

Freshmen is almost always preferred to ninth-grader because it sets them apart from the 7th and 8th graders. It was that one step closer to be- ing an upperclassman.
