Gcina For Odd Many students worked hard for good grades. Their intentions were to gain an honor ' s diploma. How did one get an honors ' diploma. ' Hard work and filling a few requirements helped. Four years of English, three years of math, three years of science, three years ot social studies, two years of a foreign language, and good grades filled the requirements. The Language Arts Depart- ment was filled with classes in Creative Writing, Rhetoric, Nov- els, and Multi Media to help fill English credits. It also offered German, French, and Spanish classes to students interested in learning a foreign language. Trigonometry and Calculus were classes tried by many col- lege-bound students. Both classes proved the old proverb, Only the strong survive. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and AP Biology were some of the classes chosen by many students to fill their science requirements. Social Studies were the easiest classes to pick because they had already been chosen for students. Seniors had the only real choice as they could take either regular or AP Government. The last requirements, when fulfilled were the most reward- ing. Students needed one year of an Advanced placement (AP) credit or two years of honor ' s credits. A grade point average of 3.00 or better and avoiding F ' s on transcripts was expected also. Students who survived these requirements found themselves holding an honor ' s diploma dur- ing graduation festivities.
