GBack to basics proofs didn't pop up on many favorite things to do lists, students weathered the waves and kept believing it was for their own good. Arithmetic, by its former name, branched into a stream of mathematics courses, as Patriots were able to choose from Consumer Math, Algebra I and II, Intermediate Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry and General Math. Those who were successful were inducted into Mu Alpha Theta, an honorary math club. The club had guest speakers from math related fields and encouraged students to continue math courses. A B average was required for membership, and students were inducted by invitation. Social studies and science courses made use of all three basics. Students in social studies worked with dates, notes and textbooks, while science students made calculations and predictions which required a knowledge of mathmetics. They found that squeezing a mathematical equation out of a long, wordy problem was tedious and not as easy as it looked in the books. I expected chemistry to be more of a lab class and not as much math, said Sandra Wilson, junior. I found out otherwise. Deep ln thought.

Reading, writing and arithmetic were, more often than not, carried into the home. While reading Return of the Native and writing interesting papers at two in the morning didn't appeal to most Patriots, they often had to fit these activities into their regular schedules. Juniors and seniors spent hours slaving over research papers and compositions, while sophomores struggled through three-point enumeration themes. Students who managed to muddle through and maintained a 3.25 grade point average were often invited to join National Honor Society in theirjunior or senior year. Beta Club, another honorary organization, was open to juniors and seniors who held a 3.0 grade average. Surviving the hassels of working around required courses caused lots of grey hair and sleepless nights, but the rewards came. Hard work and ambition brought graduation closer as students discovered that back to basics wasn't really basic at all. ft'-'msc uv, H.B.T.Y.
