CTlcacfemics a Cj nerson Our ScJioo Mass confusion reigned at the beginning of this academic year with the addition of a 7-minute regis¬ ter meeting. A new time schedule bewildered stu¬ dents and faculty during the first few weeks of the new school year. When routine was finally establish¬ ed, Emersonians buckled down to a year of study¬ ing and learning, finding it could be both interesting and challenging. The freshmen were introduced to biology, algebra, and some even tackled French, Spanish, or Latin. The sophomores discovered a whole new world in the study of world history, geometry, and that second year of foreign language. New con¬ cepts in Algebra II and an awareness of American heritage constituted a great part of the junior pro¬ gram. For the senior, the anxious awaiting of gradua¬ tion was offset by intensive assignments in govern¬ ment, economics, health and safety, and for a few, trigonometry, or advanced literature and composi¬ tion. The most difficult was preparing themselves for the future. Their effort was evident on the Honor Roll for they usually had the highest percentage of stu¬ dents listed among the four classes.
