Equations + I-Iard Work 2 Success In Class And In Life What do Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, Accounting and Home Ec. have in common? The basic problem solving method they all use is equations. From IZPRT to 3 cups of sugar and a quart of water, all these classes center on the practical uses of equations. Surprisingly enough, these equa- tions might be not only helpful in passing a class, but useful in everyday lite. In Chemistry, equations are one of the main methods of problem-solving. Learning how to plug in numbers in Mr. Con- nell's class is not only a good idear but a must for passing his class. Junior Stephanie France commented, I took Chemistry because I like using numbers and working with the different kinds of equations, Physics, another type of ad- vanced equation-using science class, is also helpful in every- day life as well as college prep- aration. Said senior Sherri Fin- ley, I think a lot of the subjects we've learned about and how to do may end up being very help- ful. lt's really weird how satel- lites are put into orbit, said sen- ior Michelle Meredith. I thought it would be so compli- cated, but we learned that the earth's gravity holds it in place, There is even an equation for that, too. Just like science, Algebra and most other maths are based on equations. Practical interest Academics Smooth Sailing. In Physics, Jeff Lewis, glides through the vector equation with ease. problems and everyday math can be worked through equa- tions. Said junior Lora Tuttle, One day my knowledge of Al- gebra will be an important part of my career. These equations can be applied to real-life situa- tions before and during a ca- reer. Accounting, related to math, has one main equation: Assets 2 Liabilities + Capital. Once that is mastered, every accounting problem can be solved. This is a very practical class, because many jobs are just like the class and use the same equation. Said senior Sheila Handy, I think this class will give me a good base for college classes especial- ly in the first couple of years. Last and definitely least ex- pected is Home Economics. Equations in the kitchen? Sur- prisingly, yes. Recipes are sim- ply equations for cooking and are more readily usable than most other equations. Said sen- ior Carlen Richardson, This class is helpful to me because Pm learning how to cook. It sounds simple, but it will be very important later on. Equations are the common thread in all these classes, but the main idea is practical appli- cation. lt learned and used cor- rectly, these equations + hard work 2 success in class and in life. 5 5

Students I-Iave A Lot Ot Class Every student at Glenn High School has one thing in com- mon: We spend about six hours a day in class. Whether day- dreaming through lectures, sleeping off late nights, giving terrifying oral reports, taking grueling tests, or just waiting for the 2:15 bell to ringg each Bob- cat student has to spend almost 20070 of each weekday in class. Academics Most Glenn students would rather be relaxing in Kernersville at lunch or socializing in the hall- ways between classes but they must be in class in order to be true qualified students. Though it sometimes is a chore, being in class is what prepares us for the future, and one clay every Bob- cat will appreciate the chances they had to be, in class. Around the world in one class. ln M1 Keiger's world history class, Ashlf Mclfiaughan takes the class off to Inc in her oral history presentatic K Cramming! Chemistry Rhoney does some last studying before one of Mr. test's.
