LEARNING THROUGH ACADEMIC - 'DISCIPLINES' School, textbooks, teachers, tests, and after twelve years of sitting in a classroom you graduate. There is no more com- pulsory educationg you're in the real world. What did you learn in school? Was it worth your time, or was it wasted time? Did you spend too much time or wasn't it enough? Seeking an answer, Legend went to the students of Brook- field Central. I have learned self-discipline through Band. iAndrew Leej My science fair project and the science classes I have taken have gotten me prepared for college and the career I plan to pursue. lTom Felserj A lot of my teachers have really helped me, especially in getting me interested in a career. lGreg Karchj l've learned responsibility from school. lt's just like a job. lRandy Attripj I find that the things I have learned in my Political Process class are really useful in my life, and will help me a lot in my planned career. lVida Rodj From extracurricular activities I have learned good sports- manshipf' lJohn Suttonj One thing I have gotten from school is a great apprecia- tion of teachers. lPaul Piettej Besides the basics - reading, writing, etc. - lthink that school has taught me responsibility, independence, and respect. lLori Woldenj I have learned how to focus my attention on one particular thing and really concentrate on it from my classroom experi- ences. lBridget Kobej I learn more in math, and English, and science, and they are going to help a lot later on in life. lJohn Smrcinaj In history and chemistry, I learn a lot, but I think Compos- ition will help me most later on in life because you can't go on without grammar. lAnn Fteindersj In chemistry, I think I learn the most. This class will help out in getting into the college I want. lWendy Wadej Classes in school that are designed for later life, and classes that are more challenging are better than easy classes that do not require a lot of work. lMike Lammj I think that math courses are the most important because you will need to use the math that you learn for the rest of your life. iBrian Boernesj School is a learning situation. You not only learn facts, but the atmosphere of school has taught me how to cope and deal with people. In fact, school has reinforced the morals that I have learned outside of school, from church and from my family. iCaroI Dannebrinkj I learn a lot in classes like Composition because the atmosphere is good in there. lChuck Olsenj I learned how to play field hockey, and I also learned that I hate Geometry. lKim Lowdenj Not only have I learned a lot academically, but l've learned how to get along with different people. lDenise Toussaintj The best class is Creative Writing because I like writing and I have met some students that have become friends. llrene Lodzinskij I think that you learn the most from other students, but you also learn a lot from the teachers. lAudrey Greskowiakj l've learned that you pick your electives by the teacher 16 f Learning who teaches it, and mostly, the subject. lAmy Davelj I have learned that at school you have to do things when you really do not want to. lLori Engeswickj SchooI has a great deal to offer to the student who wishes to learn, both academically and socially, but to me, it is not a great enough challenge, and therefore I do not go at it with the eagerness that l should. lMark Jennisonj ln high school I learned: that disco music is bad for the human heart, that the solunar tables are a fascinating fact rather than a fishy fluke, and that a 3.9 GPA does not consti- tute a scholarly trait. Most of all, the motto of all true students should be Veni vidi vici, meaning I came, I saw, I con- quered. lJohn Puchnerj Q11 Senior Brian Wayner studies in the Brookfield Central library. The library provides many books and other sources from which the students can research. l2j Learning the practical skill of selling, senior Lisa Bourdo shows some of the lastest fashions to a customer at Susie's Casuals.

LEARNING THROUGH SECULAR Where does your education end? Is it solely what you learn :Ii school, or does it go beyond that? Can a person enrich his or her storehouse of knowledge through experiences outside of the academic disciplines, or does one obtain education murely from books, instructors, tests and other components of society's structured system of learning? Legend posed these questions to a number of students at BCHS, seeking their individual responses. Outside of school, l'm very involved in my church, and there I have learned to like myself. l've gained self-confi- dence, and now I feel more comfortable in being myself Although factors from both inside and outside of school con- tributed to these developments, it wasn't anything that I could have gotten from classroom experience. fTim Har- boldj When you're out of school things actually happen to you, and you have to face them right there. School can sometimes give you a false sense of security, and shelter you from real- ity. tLaura Jenesy Outside of school, I work at restoring an old barn. Most of ' EXPERIENCES what I know l've had to teach myself, although I have gotten invaluable help from my grandfather and my shop teacher. The school's curriculum could never have taught me the skills or the knowledge that I need for my job. tRob Ziobrol When l'm not in school l've learned how to have a super- excellent water fight with Roger Villmow and Scott Semb in the kitchen and play Life until three in the morning with a few of the Untouchables, while my parents were in Door County for the weekend. fWendi Stavesl I belong to a drum corps which travels around quite a bit, and through this l've met a lot of people and learned to be more open with them. tBeth Campbelly l've learned a lot from being at home.
