ADE Is school really necessary? Does it, in reality, enrich our lives and make us better people? Maybe sog but then again, maybe not. There are many famous people in the history of the world who have not had much education. Andrew Jackson could seldom spell words of more than two syllables and could hardly spell his own name - and yet he became the seventh president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln, with little formal null wr Q --z,l,,,1Fm' i ,fk Y , WF ,Q 5 by 3 . li Q I Y 'N y . wg-55 Mt Should I go 30 degrees to the left or to the right?

St. Joan of Arc could write only her name but at the age of seventeen drove most of the English out of France. These people achieved personal success with little or no schooling. Once again the question arises: Is school necessary? The answer is clear: Yes. It's required by federal law. And besides, without school, you would not have this book. ls it really worth it?

EW KIDS CN THE BLOCK Everyone who hasn't lived in the same place all of their life probably knows what its like to be the new kid on the block . Leadership and Develop- ment, Latin, and Computer Applica- tions are the new additions to the block this year. But these new classes haven't moved theyive just been born! Leadership and Development is a class consisting of all student council members. Its purpose is to instill leader- ship skills into the council members who control our student government. They are the only means we, the stu- dents, have of representing ourselves. Thus, this class is for more than just the student council, it is for the entire stu- dent body. ln the words of Leadership and Development teacher Jerry Hen- dricks, I feel that Leadership and De- velopment is for more than student council now, it can be useful for them in the future. Latin is the second subject added to the curriculum this year. Students vot- ed during the ,86-'87 school year, de- ciding whether this class should be of- fered or not. It gained its place by popular demand. Latin I teaches the basics of Latin which can aid in many of the science fields. The necessity for future scientists is expressed by Latin teacher Mary Hall when she quotes from Ovid: Qui non est hodie crus mi- nus aptus erit. C'He who is not pre- pared today will be less so tomorrowfj Finally, Computer Applications is the kid', to join our school. This class introduces and applies Cas the name would suggestj the properties and func- tions of the computer. It doesn't seem to be all ice cream and cake, though, reflect upon the words of Computer Applications teacher Janice Gaskin: Insert, delete, move, copy . . . will they ever get those documents straightened out?
