The extra hours of work were all worthwhile n the long run Waiting for news of college acceptance was perhaps one of the most frustrating ex- periences of the year for seniors. Students who had enrolled in honors classes and advanced studies felt they had an edge in college acceptance, especially if their grades were good. Some- times, because of the seem- ingly endless hours of home- work, students wondered what crazy thought had possessed them when they signed up for honors classes. As PSAT and SAT scores, college acceptances, and Advanced Placement results came in, students were glad they had gone the extra mile.

Highly motivated students also had the option of attend- ing the Governors School for Science and Technology. Previously housed in four trailers behind Patrick Henry High School, the school moved to a brand new facility. Early in the year, Governor Gerald Baliles traveled through Roanoke, stopping to dedicate the new building. The Governor, Mayor Noel Taylor, and other political and educa- tional leaders spoke at the dedication ceremony. Housed within the modern building was a state- of-the-art scientific equip- ment including an infrared spectometer and an electron microscope. These high-tech instruments enabled students to study science, mathematics, and technol- ogy more intensely. Mary Ann Ehlshlager Mary Ann Ehlshlager
