MAKING THE GRADES As If Semester Exams Werent Bad Enough. Jennifer Nestor (10) Kelly Nestor (10) Stephanie Nestor (11) Jay Newman (9) Cindy Newman (11) Thinking they may raise their Journalism grade, Juniors Angie Nestor and Jenny Akins sort pictures. While gossiping, Carol Benner and Sandra Mason fold towels in STEPS class. others either held the confidence of recieving a pat on the back for a job well done or just simply didn't care. Whatever the case was, tension rippled through the stomachs of all those who were in pos- sible danger of not mak- ing the grade they wanted to. Ever since our school lives began, grades were a major issue if you wanted to get anywhere in life. So, most of us strived to make the grades some- times finding ourselves proud and other times discouraged. But with strong determination and a goal to succeed all of us could make the grades. It must have been a near epidemic, the fear that clutched TCHS hall- ways on report card day. Report cards, the words sounded so hideous, as if it were to bring about the end of the world. For some it did. Facing your parents and handing over your report cards felt like approaching the jury.

His spot was already picked out and his suntan lotion was in place. It was time for some serious fun in the sun. The sky was a clear as newly washed windows. There wasn't a cloud in sight. The ocean looked inviting with its waves capped with white foam. One could feel the coolness of the water drawing them nearer as the sun continued to beat down on the hot sands of the beach. Everywhere Biff looked, he saw miles of people soaking up the golden rays. He looked at the water once again and Biff knew that he could no longer stand the heat. To- ward the ocean he ran. Just as he was about to dive in, “Biff, Biff! Please answer the question Suddenly Biff was awak- ened to remember that he was in history class in- stead of where he longed to be. Biff knew that he would have to wait until summer to go back to the beach. You don't know how long that milk has sat in the cooler, exclaims freshman, Brian Reed, to sophomore, James Black.
