Bare NECESSIEI For a native language, English was much harder than it might have seemed. john Edgell's senior honors class wrote approximately 35 papers. The papers were tough because they had to come from the student's own ideas, not books, explained senior janet Allen. In sophomore English classes a research paper was added to the curriculum to prepare the students for the paper they would write in American history during theirjunior year. l don't think we should have to do a paper two years in a row, said sophomore Ashley Smith. The teachers should teach us how to use the library and how to write the paper, then we'd know how to do one when we're juniors.

In spite of homework, research papers and tests all students got something out of academic requirements. After sitting through a social studies class under Mrs. Barbara Stafford for the second year, taking both Latin and Greek from Mrs. Gayle Cloud or having Mrs. Jerri Rotenberry for Calculus, Trigonometry and Computer Programming, students found they really got to know each other and their teachers.
