The 9ecret is out . . . Honor roll rewards efforts Every six weeks the computer sheets hanging inside the trophy case by the East Office were changed. Four columns of sheets distinguished each class. The honor roll lists named each student who had made at least one A and five grades between 80 and 90. Students who made Cs, however, did not make the honor roll even if they had five As and only one C. It ' s a good feeling when I make the honor roll, junior Denise Schriber said. It is an accomplish- ment to know all my hard work went into some kind of recognition. Making the grade meant more than just the hon- or roll. Some parents and teachers would give priv- ileges to those students who showed they could achieve high standards in the classroom. My parents would give me money or take me out to eat when I made As, junior Jennifer John- son said. Being on the honor roll helped me get into honors classes and Honor Society. Being on the honor roll had other advantages as well. Teachers tend not to call on you as often in class to answer questions, sophomore Kara Jen- sen said. They know you have the answer so they only make you answer when no one else can. The counselors also checked the honor roll to keep up with students progress. Mrs. Lepine kept me informed on the SAT prep class and she checked on scholarships and colleges for others, Schriber said. The honor students are also the ones often picked to go to seminars and workshops and that usually goes through their of- fice. Letters to the parents were mailed out each time their child made straight As in school. Principal Joe Brown commended the parents and the student for his or her dedication to making high grades. Being able to make the honor roll could be hard work, especially when the student was involved in extracurricular activities. Many honor students had to learn the value of time management. Playing basketball took a lot of time away from studying, Jensen said. When I got out of practice I went straight to my homework and then to sleep. There wasn ' t much time for T.V. Achieving the honor roll gave other incentives for keeping high grades. My grades have to get me into college. I want to go to The University of Texas and then become a teacher. High grades show I ' m learning what is being taught and I want to get the most from my classes since they arc also helping me to decide what field I will want to teach. Schriber said.
