ORGANIZATIONS Oh, man, I forgot we have that test in biology over the frog tomorrow. By the way where is the deltoid muscle? I'm not really sure, but I think it is in the leg some place. All I can think of is that test in geometry. Why is it that all the teachers plan their tests for the same day? THIS IS DUE FRIDAY AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS! Sound familiar? Well, like it or not, the reason we go to school is to learn. Sure, concentration lapses have been known to occur. We all have those days when we would 'accidentally' forget about finishing our grammar assignment and chose to watch the squirrels play in the tree tops instead. But you know, we learned quite a bit of neat stuff at FHS. We may not see the importance of polygons and parallelograms, prepositions and partici- ples, but they surely will serve some purpose in later life. Detention, what for? There were problems between teachers and students, but maybe learning how to handle these problems was the most important lesson of them all. And, eventually most of us managed to pick up some info along the line. Academics helped us grow.
