88 CUSTOMERS JUNIORS Mrs. Gish's I-louse of Research Papers Clminous object brings nightmares to junior class by Patty Kennedy Darkness had enveloped the land and I slowly approached the ominous object l'd been avoiding for five weeks. The shadows seemed to duck and dive as if they were waiting for my back to turn so they could lunge. I gathered up all my cour- age and reached for the light. There, before me was the hideous creature known throughout the land as Mrs, Gish's RE- SEARCH PAPER. The idea of a ten page, twenty source research paper can seem like a nightmare when it is put off until the night before it's due. Ev- ery student who enrolls in Mrs. Ro- seann Gish's junior English class must endure the five weeks of re- search, corrections, and typing re- quired to complete the paper. 'tlt's scary to think about all that work, said Gary Workman junior, Due date for the research paper was set for January 3, a change from the usual pre-Christmas due date. Some parents told me that it their child had Christmas vacation to work on their papers, they could get a better grade, said Gish. Choosing topics for a paper are always one of the more enjoyable aspects of the entire ordeal, There are billions and billions of possi- bilities to select from, so to ease the already jumbled minds of the junior English classes, Gish com- prised a list of 92 possibilities for subjects. Mrs Gish's list was pretty var- ied, but I could think of some really good subjects she'd overlooked, said junior Lisa Oathout. Procrastination, a dirty word to some teachers, seemed to enter the minds of the researchers. I usually worked on it only on the weekends. said junior Juer- gen Massey. l wasn't panicked at the end, but it did give me a big headache, he added. t'l guess you could say I put it off. I did all my typing the last cou- ple of days, said Bret Kerr junior. The research paper . . . a fright- ening, almost terrifying object, but one that must be confronted, at- tacked and finished. To live to tell the tale of being in its dreaded clutches is a great feat. Only those willing to face the challenge can experience the awesome feeling of relief and accomplishment when the paper is handed back with a passing grade. Then you know you've won. Field trip.
