Math analysis class gives their full attention to their teacher, during an important lesson. When Siclclhartha finally reaches Nirvana . . . 105 students listen and take notes on Buddhism while Mrs. lwasko explains the day's lesson. Exercising her knowledge ofconstructions. Karla McCants sits ready with paper and pencil to tackle her geometry construction. Now you know how math and English have adjusted to today's society. Well, here's a look to the future: Our Green Run Stallions were asked what the study of math and English would he like in the year 2000, and here's some of their input: There's use for math, hut just simple math. You have to have English to write and talk. - M.C. Math would he more advanced in the field of aeronautics. English will prohahly he the universal language. - RA. English will he the same. Math would he advanced and harder. f LB. We'll he learning more difficult things earlier. - DB. We'll he using more computers for math and English. - DC. There will he no math hecause computers will do it for you. English will have more high - tech words and we'll forget the words we use now. - C. I.. lt'll he harder because you have to take harder courses f because of all the requirements you might need. - TJ. ACADEMICS 'I 49

- ' M0 oMore Pencil ... . . . no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks! Remember that? That must've been way back in elementary school- the time when math was just 1-i-l , and sentences like Spot ran away, were written in English. School work was so much easier then, but that was years ago. Now everything is different. . . well, except for the lunch food. Yet, since then, everything has become more complicaf ted. Instead, we see math as more like 42 + Zmtfmrxdl + lpg + 132 + IOYV4 + Cr + Vzr + 15 i87xyJ +1bl compared to 1+1. In English, we went from writing simple sentences to writing long papers, tackling old novels, and analizing symbolic poems. Sounds fascinating, huh? Fortunately, instead of just pencils and books like the ones we used in elementary school, the materials have become more complicated as well. We now have calculators to solve those math problems, and computers to type all those papers. But even though these machines can help make things easier, they can only do what we tell them to do. So, of course it takes a lot of effort- this is high school! But then maybe ten or twenty years from now, there's a chance most of us will look back at our math and English here at Green Run and think, Hey, it wasn't so bad.

Stir It, Shake It . 'L' Sci n Y? If 10 students were asked that question, we'd probably have I0 different answers: from the study of interrelationships of matter and energy to a boring class. But seriously, what IS science? ln the dictionary, science is defined as, knowledge of facts and laws arran- ged in an orderly system. On the other hand, science in the en- cyclopedia is, ... any subject which man can study by using the scientific method or other special rules of thinking ... - so which of these make more sense? Well, whatever science may be, we can all admit that the subject itselfcan be hard work. But did you ever think that it was even harder for Einstein, Galileo, and Newton? Remember, it took them years and years to prove things we study today, which you might consider as a waste of time. Well, think again. Science is important to everyone - especially to these students when it comes to phones, TVls, and cars. We just tend to forget that because we weren't the ones spending those years and years of hard work. Not too many students have that kind of pat- ience or are in the least bit interested. Yet at least some of them try hard - putting themselves ahead and off to a good start for the new year. -Michelle Boada eff t PR' vf' X student li'.ii'liing lliology i'l.iss.' lli.ii's .u ilmiiigv. lixiriiilig .ilvwiii .mtl iilitlcisiaiirlliiu is liiilsi-il ii ills toiilrl lu piullx li,ii,l, l'lll llt-ririiil Klslvlrvi' lslliths xxlmi is -' ill!! on' , and Observe It l'lmmm...let's see! lon l'ricc docs .1 Cflieinisrrv lab, being cautious and serious about li cxperiint-nr.
