Academic procedures hove changed over the past few years, and sophomore and freshman classes have experienced these changes more rhon other classes. The grading system has nor only been changed, bur also has been changed back. The only exception is that below 70 is foiling. Each three weeks, failing students receive progress reports and each six weeks each student receives a report card. A state law requires a parent ' s signature and returning rhe cord to school. Failing students may attend tutorials where they receive help. Some teachers require students to attend tutorials. Sophomore Michael Johnson said, The school system is changing too much. They should do if one way and leave it that way. One change unique to freshmen and sophomores is the new graduation requirements including a fourth year of English and math. Some students may want to achieve an advanced seal on their diploma, so add two years of foreign language, one year of computer science, and one year of fine orrs. Senior Donny Allen said, I ' m glad I ' m not o freshman. Although the new requirements may seem too much, many juniors and seniors have fulfilled rhese re- quirements. Senior Kay Killingsworth said, The diploma will be worfh much more to the people who work the hardest for it. All of the academic changes have made an impact on many lives. Each student deals with these changes dif- ferently. Mr. Frank Stansfield, senior teacher, said, I look upon if as an experiment to turn things around to pro- duce stronger students. These students will receive a bet- ter academic background, which will help them in rhe future. ClQSSes 89

Lorerto Lock has been participating in choir programs since grade shcool. I ' ve always enjoyed singing and I feel it ' s my best talent I like being involved in a choir, measuring and comparing my abilities to continually improve, Loretta said. She has participated in all UIL contests, including solo and ensemble, concert and sightreading contests in addi- tion to district and area contests. She has received the highest division raring possible for her solos, and has made All-Region and All-District Choir for the past four years. This year she mode Area Choir. My next big goal is to make All-State Choir, she said. Loretto ' s family and friends encourage her. One of her classmates, senior Deidra Liberator, said, She is very hard working and devoted, with a really great personality. There are scholarships for exceptional choir students and Loretta will audition for one. She is currently o straight A student and a member of student council. Although Loretta is undecided about college plans, junior Amanda Murray said, She will succeed in anything because she is so determined. Classes 91
