Math a problem For most pupils Pv2 x cmT29 . 476O x X0T3 + 4582 + cm2 = ? Do you know how to solve this problem? Well, ask any of the Honor or Trig students and they'll give you the answer. Math classes were filled with confusion and competition. There were three catagories of math students. The smarties who know all the answers before the teacher has asked the question, the dummies who don't care and don't get anything, and the in-betweens. Most people are in the last two catagories. They sit there and don't get called on when they know the answer, and if they don't know, it never fails, they get called on. A fire drill in math class is always a welcome relief from all the problems. But a feeling of accomplishment always comes after finally being able to say I get it!

One of the hardest things for a student entering high school to do is to decide on which foreign language to take, French with all it's culture days, or Spanish with all those fiestas. What most people don't realize is that French and Spanish are very much alike, or at least in class time, that is. Take French Spanish I, for instance. Both deal greatly with vocabulary, and everyday things like days of the week, months of the year, things around the classroom and more. Spanish French II are again just about the same. Verbs, verbs, verbs! In fact, all the foreign language teachers agree that French and Spanish II are the hardest of all four years. But once that's behind you, it's clear sailing all the way. Spanish and French III pass quickly and when a student hits his fourth year of a foreign language he can't help but feel a mark of accomplishment. 17
