ONAL Although many nke the Maryland ftional tests, most t that they are a neces si- raduate. With the recent in the number of tests that ten classes are expected to pass, more uneasiness. Along with more simple reading and math Wests, the writing and citizenship tests were added to the burden. “They're a pain to take and they're easy except for the writing test,” said Alyssa Zimmerman. With the unting test you just don't know what to expect, she added. The citizenship test was recently added also. It is a test of the govern- ment, constitution, and other citizen- ship qualities. It, too, is pretty hard. The teachers drill the stuff in- to us during the year, but when test time comes I get all nervous, said David Zeltwanger sheepishly. One good thing about the tests is that it takes away from class time, he added on an upbeat note. Dave Zeltwanger knows working hard and passing the test the first time would give him a little freedom in the next 3 years. Up to two weeks before the Maryland Func- tional Test, students such as Eric Leaman spent many hours doing pretests. 96 FRESHMEN

What was it that the freshmen enjoyed most about high school? The most popular answer was “changing classes and having time to see their friends before homeroom and between classes. Another popular response was lunch time. After the size of middle school, high school offered more activities that were more fre- quent. Marching bands, football games, and discos also ranked high with the freshmen. Spanish, gym, and band were also big hits. Through all the extracurricular ac- tivities and meeting with friends, the freshmen came to the conclusion that high school life was well worth their wait.
