Although the rumors that the senior high guidance department had planted a “places available sign on the highway beside Tom Davies Flooring on Perkio-men Avenue or had taken an ad in the Sunday Reading Eagle promising a free Cabbage Patch doll to each new registrant were not true, over 30 sophomores, juniors, and seniors became Eagles in the ’83-’84 school year. For one reason or another, some made only short stays before traveling on but most quickly became part of the senior high. Many differences were immediately noticed by the new students. Don Austin, a sophomore from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, found the stairs a chore as his old high school was a one story building. He also was surprised to find himself saying the pledge each morning. Junior Denise Springborg, from Wyoming Valley West High School outside of Wilkes-Barre, thought that Exeter stu- dents had more privileges such as wearing shorts in warmer weather because of the relatively small size of the school. She also remarked that Exeter teachers don’t get angry as often and are more personally involved with their students’ work. As a senior, Curt Wise, who spent seven years in Palmyra, observed Exeter’s smaller size, uncarpeted floors, and lack of a swimming pool. Sophomore Bindu Babu moved to Exeter from the Wilson School District. ARLENE HARNER. Business Depart ment: Mt. Penn High School. Indiana State Teachers College. Penn State University. MARGARET HART.

All those hours between 8 and 3 are spent learning something or re-learning something old semi-forgotten. Add to that time the several hours an evening put into committing the lessons to memory or forcing understanding. Then add the time devoted on weekends to book reports, research papers, and the like. It’s a wonder students have a moment left for mundane, everyday activities like flirting, teeth brushing, basket- ball practice, yearbook layout, parttime jobs, and meals. No matter which courses a student elects each year—home school or vo-tech—he needs to pay attention in class, take careful notes, read over his notes, read homework assignments, do trig, problems, run to Boscov’s to get a special notebook, study terms for AP Bio, memorize the rules and regulations for hockey class, read that novel for Lit. of Comedy, keep a journal . . . Where does all this get him? His work challenges his intellect, broadens his horizons, and matures his thinking. Maybe he’ll never need those Latin declensions again and no one will ever wish to discuss the right angle of an hypotenuse, but he’s trained himself to think and reason and can easily adapt old ideas and concepts to new situations.
