luniors read Huck Finn in English III As members of English lll, all juniors were required to read the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. For three weeks, students could be found reading the pages assigned for that day. Most teachers gave short quizzes occa- sionally as an added incentive to students to keep up on the reading. At the end of the course, a composition was due from each student and a major test was given. ln an effort to break the routine of regular study, Mrs. Flo Schelling, English Department chairman, assigned an extra credit-required project to her advanced classes. The activities did not count much in the grade and the choice as to the type of activity was left open for the students to enable them to do their project according to individual talents. Numerous posters and original poems depicting incidents in the novel were dis- played. Three-dimensional figures and oil paintings were also included. A favorite for the students was a cake which the stu- dents took time out to eat, decorated to look like the Mississippi River. To add a little excitement to the projects, several stu- dents put on skits portraying the more humorous parts of the story. A. Teresa Williamson, junior, displays an original poem embroidered on burlap to Mrs. Flo Schelling's second period class. B. Junior Debbie Morgan, depicting a woman in the novel, advises Huck, played by jun- ior Cathy Taylor, in the art of being a girl. C. Portraying Huckleberry Finn and Nigger Jim, juniors Jeff Renfro and Billy Dodson act out a scene from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

For some, though, studying seems to have a much better effect on test grades than it does for others. These lucky people, whose hard work always reaps much coveted A's, have a secret to their success. Diligently applied study, done the night before, is probably the answer. Cramming, the name given to the type of studying done by some students with lower grades, is a common problem. There are various ways to cram for a test, none of which are very effective. Trying to learn the parts of a crayfish, while riding the bus to school will only result in permanent nearsightedness and bus-sickness. Studying for a history test, while being reviewed for an impor- tant English test to be given the following day will most likely result in low grades on both tests. It also doesn't pay to start learning multiple theorems for geometry on the way to class. Making a good grade on a test depends on how much attention has been paid to lectures and homework assignments. lf little preliminary preparation has been made, studying will not increase the grade. If classwork has been done, limited studying should be needed, but it should be done at home, the night before, where full attention can be given, even if it means missing that favorite TV show. A. Sophomore Janelle Stout finds the library a quiet place to finish up her homework before school. B. Using the library book drop as a bench, sophomore Alan Balusek uses extra minutes in lunch for doing his classwork. C. Freshman Shawn Jones spends a few minutes before the bell rings relaxing with a good book. Xing t V i f Q l - , r ,K . A 1 - ,,.. K ' i. ',,,,f .-,f ls -rr, X PAGE 299 I CLASSES
