Back to books A return to education When students went back to school in Ausust, they were also returning to homework, studying, tests and report cards - things easily forgotten over the summer. Study habits had to be relearned, the library again became a frequent habitat and bringing piles of books home resumed as a daily norm. It was hard to get back into the routine: lectures to homework, homework to studying, studying to tests, tests to report cards. Still, it was important to maintain adequate grades. Passing report cards weren’t only required to keep parents happy. They were a must in order to graduate. If a semester in any required course was flunked, the class had to be retaken through University of Nebraska correspondence courses. Otherwise, no credit was received for the class - and no diploma, either. The majority of Neumann students ex- celled in academics. Many of the college prep courses offered by the school gave students chances to stimulate their intellect and expand their knowledge. Math analysis, advanced biology, French and physics all gave students opportunities for enrichment. Of the 47 seniors in the graduation class, over 90 percent planned to attend colleges or vocational schools. From these, 25 received scholarships to further their educations. The trend indicated that students were realizing the importance of academics. The homework, studying, and test were often hard. But when student received A's and won scholarships, it was worth it.
