For some it was like a prison, a place where all they did was work. For others it was just something to do. Some people donlt like to spend their day in front of a TV. And a few saw Roncalli as a place where they learned and grew, a place they were really going to miss in the years to come. For juniors it seemed like high school would last forever, but they started ' to realize that time was getting short. It would be hard for them to leave Roncalli after their senior year. R0ncalli is like my second familyf' said Jill Sjodin. Going to the same school for three years can cause a person to become strongly attached to it, especially with the atmosphere here. 'AI think there was a sense of unity, and a feeling of friendship between everyone, said Lori Kessler. Of course every school has a few bad aspects, and what with the bad heating, dimly lit halls, and the leaky ceilings, it may have seemed like Roncalli had more than its share of drawbacks. But stop for a moment and think about all the things at Roncalli yould miss: your friends, the teachers, football games, dances . . . the list goes on and on. Commented Becky Pfeiffer, There's so many things l'll miss here, my friends, the unique personalities, the way everyone gets alopgvc it'Sf1f31rd tfi list them any Added Stacy Emotions are displayed as the junior class tries to out yell the H6ldI'ICl1, I ll IIIISS COII'11Ilg to ROI1C3ll1 every seniors, sophomores, and freshmen.

What was the Worst thing about being an underc1assman'7 28 Sophomores Soph om ores give studying an A I found it easier to study with the radio on. I don't know why,', exclaimed sophomore Brad Reecy. He was not alone. About 7395 of the sophomore class studied better with outside distractions. This could have been contributed to being either right or left brained. Left brained people could focus on a certain subject even if other activities were going on around them, while this caused interference for right brained people. Sophomores were almost split in half about whether they had good study habits. Sixty percent said they did have good habits, while 4076 said they did not. Anne Marie Tso claimed she didn't have good study habits because she always waited until the last minute, then crammed for a test. Jan Kippley felt she should have spent more time studying. Over half the sophomores studied less than one hour a night. Some spent about one to two hours, and very few studied for more than three. Stacy Lindquist would have rather been doing something she felt more constructive: sports. While the sophomores would rather have been doing other things than studying, 8796 felt studying did pay off. Rewards included good grades, positive feedback from friends, and parent's well earned approval. Only a minority of the class felt studying did not have any benefits. Bonnie Croft commented, I needed more incentive. My parents came up with this one: money! I got money for good grades, but for bad grades I got the pleasure of brown- nosing them fparentsl for the rest of my natural lifef,
