(continued from p. 2) upstairs computer room, IBM Leading Edge computers were purchased to make Memorial’s business program compatible with that of modern offices. Because 85 percent of EMHS students had to catch buses after school, staying for rehearsals, practices, and meetings proved impossible for many students. So lunchtime often became more difficult to manage than classes for members of National Honor Society, Student Government, class cabinets, and other extracurricular activities which had to meet during the lunch hour. Student Government and National Honor Society were able to allow members to eat lunch early, but other groups could not because of Indiana’s restrictions on the length of the instructional day. With all the extra time and effort put in, the Chargers had a right to feel proud when things turned out the way they had planned. But part of feeling the crimson spirit also meant cop- ing with less-than ideal situations as well. Cross country, swim- ming, and track team member Sam Wu spent most of his sum- mer training for triathalons, hoping that the training would also better his race times in the fall. “But then | was in a (minor) car accident, and it brought my training down real low,” said Sam. From the inside, it was easy to see that the secret of Charger success was really just giving a little extra time, a little extra ef- fort, and getting up and brushing ourselves off when things didn’t go exactly as we wanted. Because when a plan did come together, it wasn’t by mistake. That was when Charger pride shined, from the inside out. -¢- Japanese educators take a look inside a science classroom while touring the school for a day in October.
