'My dog got it' Students still use some expressions One of the first things students learned was how to con teachers. At one time or another everyone has attempted some type of manipulation when they were in school. When I was in school, I had a home economics class. I loved to cook, but hated sewing. Our teacher kept her grade book in the closet in the room. If we were supposed to sew I would lock her in the closet when she went to get it. I wouldnlt let her out till she promised we could cook. It worked every time, Mrs. Jackie Slaughter laughingly said. Teachers usually knew when they were being manipulated, but they didn't always react the same. I react differently because a teacher must be flexible, Mrs. Glenda Picha said. Teachers have been known to let students get by depending on the situation. There are some days I don't feel like listening to the whining and allow a free day. But that doesn't happen too often, Mrs. Kenita Mills said. Most of the time a person cannot be manupulated unless they allow it. If we allow them to run over us we deserve it. If I know what they're trying to pull I pass over it and act like I think they are joking, Coach Audrey Mosley said. Teachers even turned the tables on students by making them think they were getting away with a con job. You get them upset and give them two choices to choose from. The easiest of the two is the assignment you had planned, Mrs. Slaughter said. New or old techniques all come down to the same thingg manipula- tion -- the art of convincing others to do what you wanted them to do when they normally would not.

The race is on Students rise to meet problems A sophomore had to take many steps to achieve the goal of graduation. A lot of hurdles got in the way of the finish line. These setbacks helped sophomores realize that they couldn't make these same mistakes next year. Saturday School was a new experience for many students. This program helped chronically absent students make up their missed school time. Making up this time helped them pass their classes. I didn't like going to Saturday School and I won't be going next year because I learned to go to class, Russ Davis commented. These feelings were mutual among many who had to attend this program. Another hurdle sophomores had to jump was qualifying for test exemptions. Exemptions from tests left students with free time to do whatever they wanted or needed to do. Those who s-weren't fortunate enough to be exempt also learned a valuable lesson. It taught them to work harder and make bet- ter grades.

These were only two hurdles sophomores had to jump, As juniors, sophomores will jump more to get ahead in the race. Sophomores 239
