ACADEM A ariety Commons area not just for eating ' 1979 the commons ' area has been a ver- satile place for many differ- ent things. Its basic use is for the lunchroom, but it is used for many other activi- ties. Before school students congregate to catch up on the latest gossip or grab a Pepsi. During school it is used as a classroom for study hall and as a meeting place dur- ing activity period. After school is out, the commons area becomes a place of hustle and bustle. Students wait for their rides home or attack the vending machines. During wrestling season it is used as a prac- tice room. In the evenings it is used as a place for choir concerts, such as the Christmas pro- gram, and also band con- certs. On game nights the concession stand is set up, and after games are over, dances are held there. So, all in all, the com- mons area serves as a useful and practical area.

lllil WEST PASSAGE WAY' ENGLISH Balladr : English scholars take time out for Longfe11oW's tale g oes everyone really know how to grasp 's 'l the significance of a work of art or capture the balladry. This was the goal of the junior English teach- er, Mrs. Roseann Gish. Since speech is now a re- quired class for all who gra- duate in 1986, and rather than double the work load for the juniors, the English III class read Evangeline by Longfellow instead of the speech section. GISH: 'Evangeline' is a long poem and easy to un- derstand with very little homework. This doesn't sound like junior English, and the students like it bet- ter than performing speech- es. MIKE HAAS: Now that speech is a required for our class, I am glad that Mrs. Gish changed over to literature poems. JULIE JONES: Mrs. Gish said that this chapter in literature will be easy, and hardly any homework. I was glad because we needed a break after research pa- pers. After the English III class finished the poem of Evan- geline, maybe they will be able to grasp the signifi- cance of a work of art or capture the true theme in a work of balladry of any kind.
