2 Reeves - Robinson SOPHOMORES by Sharon Pelzel Crystals savory pepperoni pizza topped with gooey cheese started off the day as the sophomore Honor's English class took off for a break of pleasure. After stuffing with every last crumb of food, the bus took off for Fair Park in Dallas -the Shakespeare Exhibit. With an hour of extra time, 30 members of 'the class were able to explore nearby museums. The favorite happened to be the Aquarium. When the hour was over, everyone cramm- ed behind the tour guide, interested in what appeared ahead. Everything from Shakespeares birth to his original clothing and a copy of his first play was restored. Because the clock was approaching 2:50 though, the tour had to be cut short in order to get back to school before 5:50. Honor's English is a super program and a fantastic opportunity, according to Mrs. Mickie Peterson, sophomore Honor's English teacher. Verbal expansion of ideas and thoughts took place during the year. Actually it gave a student more learning experiences and taught him better study and writing habits. A student capable of learning faster than others did so because a lot of time was not spent on sub- jects a student should have already learned. Reading and writing was heavily stressed to help prepare sophomore honor students for junior honors and so on up to college English. Discipline skills were also taught to ease the difficulty of future essay papers. Honors English gives me a chance to develop the abilities that I acquired in previous English classes stated Tammi Shelton honor student. Honors English is a great class remark- ed Wayne Ross also an honor student. Not only does it build on my abilities it also adds to my outlook on life. Mrs. Peterson really knows what she's doing. The most enjoyment of the class came from the fact that it was much easier to do special projects and take field trips. Along with the trip to the Shakespeare Exhibit the Chinese Exhibit at Kimbell Art Museum and a performance of a Shakespearean play were also visited. Eligible sophomores were recommended by their freshman English teachers. The stu- dent had to show maturity work ' - dependently be conscientious and b responsible. iI'k 1. K .
