BR-Otv ' N Univ, Long, endless hours, hard work, unlimited dedication, what do all these things add up to and were needed to get somewhere in this world? Ac- ademics. Academics were an impor- tant part of every teen ' s life those days. Not so much sress was put on sports and those who were in sports were then equally concerned with their academics, and SAT score. Academics are an impor- tant part of our future espe- cially if we want to go to col- lege and make something of ourselves someday, Monique Moore, senior, said. Like sports, academics took up a meyor amount of time. There were so many scholar- ships and newly made require- ments to get into college that everyone was into their studies. Academics play a major role in your life. It shows the potential of what someone is capable of doing, Danny Florez, junior, said. Everyone was anxious to spend time at school and some even said they liked to learn. Academics had become a competitive field and everyone had a different style. I feel that academics is a reflection of what you can do. If you don ' t complete your studies you are obviously ir- responsible and lazy. If you thrive on your academics, you feel better about yourself and you aren ' t labeled as a ' dummy ' , Arthur Saenz, jun- ior, said.

Uocation time Vocational: of. relating to. or prooiding training or education in a skill, trade, or occupation, or guidance in choosing an oc- cupation. There were a wide variety of Vocational classes offered this past year, ranging from office practice classes such as COOP. VICA, VICT. ODP. and on to the Marketing classes. Also considered Voca- ti onal are Ag and ROTC, I took ROTC because I thought it would better prepare myself for my future. It teaches me survival and how to survive in certain situations. Freshman Alex Zamora said. Vocational classes are offered to students who would like to learn more about life outside of school. They prepare you for the future whether it deals with an office Job. military, or animals. I took Ag. because it would fur- ther acknowledge me in later life pertaining to agricultural experiences due to the down- fall of agricultural problems in our nations economy today, Junior Ronnie Luensmann said. I took Intro, to Mkt. be- cause I felt it would be an in- teresting class and also so I could learn the computer. I al- so felt it would be neat to study that class and learn of the World of Business, and that I did! Senior Ronnie Meloni said. Taking a Vocational class is definitely worth your time! It teaches so much and is a great deal of fun if you really get into it! Trips, dinners, banquets, and new friends, it ' s great! Senior Jan Schwarzkopf said. Melissa Sargent ICE CREAM, YOU SCREAM.
