Most students elected to toke the required three semesters of P.E. and one semester of health during underclossmon years Practically everyone in my gym doss wQS either a freshman or o sophomore, Jason Althous said.

% Looks of urrer panic filled the faces of students in the English doss The teacher had just an- nounced another composition to be written. I hate writing compositions more than anything else, Heother Eshenour said. Compositions weren ' t the on- ly thing thot caused anxiety among English students. In Roberto Young ' s Creative Writing doss, students were told to write Q one thousand word short story I remained ner- vous about the short story from the time she assigned it until the time I turned it in, Amon- do Gregg sold. Plays, poetry, reciting solilo- quies and criticol reviews were just few of the things that kept students busy in English enjoyed my sophomore year a lot better than my junior year because there was not critical review, Trey Weatherford sold. Reading books for English oc- cupied a lot of time. I hated reoding Animal Farm because it is strange to read obout animals talking to each other, building things and controlling a form, Goyle Hajdik said. Opposing that view, Eshenour said that the book was interesting because it made her think about sociolism. Although English classes were mostly hordwork, handing in that last term paper or reading the lost paragraph of Aldous Huxley ' s A Drove New World was o feeling that was hard to beat. Intensive Study. While loying on his bed, Dort Mulhenn studies for English I like my 12th grade yeor best becouse I wos oble to choose what type of course I wonted to toke. Mulherin said D. Willloms.
