Early birds catch the zzz's Lote To bed ond eorly 'ro rise was o common problem for most people attending O-hour closs magine dragging yourself into class, keeping your eyes open, much less getting your brain to function at 7:35 a.m. People who take zero hour class could tell you what it's like. I Due to busy nights, homework or just plain staying out late, made it difficult to get up in the mornings. A It's easy to miss zero hour class because it's hard to get up, said junior Cathy Martin, It's also hard to be alert when you're real tired. Powell Hazzard, junior said, They need to show longer filmstrips so I can sleep more. Most juniors agreed there were advantages and disadvantages to taking zero hour. Junior Gordon Holiman said, I thank God for the opportunity to take zero hour class. I take seven classes this year, which would be impossible without zero hour. This way, I can take some classes in high school that I would have to pay for in college. One good thing about zero hour is that you can get out early to go to work, said Hazzard. Most juniors said zero hour was good because they got to school early, but it was bad because they had to get up early.

f . 3 tex! Uisitors rom another land Fiona and Diego experience ci new family and school ave you ever wondered what it it would be like to live in a foreign country? Imagine hav- ing a new family and school and seeing unfamiliar people and sur- roundings. Parkview's two foreign students, Fiona Mitchell, senior from Mel- bourne, Australia and Diego Clavijo, senior from Columbia, South America experienced this kind of life here. Everything, including customs. the atmosphere and the culture is very different, said Clavijo. I .love it here, but it's very different from home, said Fiona Fiona and Clavijo both agreed that Americans are somewhat different than the people from their homeland. Everyone has been really, really friendly. Americans seem to show their emotions more. Everybody hugs each other! Even my new family has always been interested in me. said Fiona. Clavijo said, The environment is different and that makes the people different. In my country, we think more of other people. Courtesy is more important to us. Here, the people think about God only in the weekend, but in Colombia, God is a real part in our lives. We think about him every day-all day. Going to a strange new school is another difficult adjustment that Fiona and Diego faced. Fiona went to an all girls school, which started at nine a.m. and lasted until 3:30 p.m. In Colombia, Diego went to an all ...s if Venita Pace Scott Pahlow Tanya Parker Kim Partlow Lynn Patterson Kaye Peden Lesa Pennington Rita Perkins James Perser Shirley Pettis Ginger Phillips John Pickens Julie Pinkett Kelly Pollnow Brenda Powell Cheryll Powell Linda Powell Valerie Powell Mark Prewit Angi Purkott Gale Reamy David Reed Kenda Reeves Bart Reznick Earl Richardson Chris Rideout Paul Rodgers Jeff Roberson boys school which started at 7:30 a.m. Among many other things, they both agreed it was a nice change to have a coed school. Some things at my school are better than here, and some are worse. I like my choices of subjects here. But, on the other hand, you should take certain classes even if you don't want to, said Clavijo. Here it's a lot more fun. At home, my school was stricter and I also had more pressures. Here, there is a wider range of subjects and more extracurriculer activities. It also seems that there are more relaxed relationships with the teachers and students. You can joke around more, said Fiona. Juniors!l37
