THE CLIMATE FIGURES Math was practical. How else would someone figure out how much the school lunch was over-priced? But many found math difficult. Success depended on an ac- cumulation of knowledge: all things learned in one year continued into the next. Business required not only knowledge of math, but an ability to organize that informa- tion into accounts, returns, and budgets. Beyond the required, math and business were not just work. To find out what really Frishmon Hnthor Bock tnd DiAnn Hi hit logolly share t heir many daily problems in one ol Mrs Postma ' s algebra classes. went on in these classes, The KEY asked: Whit was the funniest moment in your class? In Consumer Ed., the (junior high lunch) bell rang as usual and the clock in Mrs. Jar- rett ' s class buzzed. She thought it was a fire drill and sent us outside. When we returned she was still in the room. She told us she was only worried about herself because she had pneumonia and she couldn’t go out in the rain. (She was going to hide in the closet.)

When band or choir is mentioned, the question comes up as to whether they are academic classes or extra-c urricular ac- tivities. Both can be taken for credit, so students in most band or choir groups are required to earn their grades. Pep band members, however, earn no credits. But many people refuse to accept music classes as equals to math or even home economics courses. It is true that many people are in music just to get an “easy grade,” but that is true of some courses in nearly every academic area. Others only see a purpose in music if the bands or choirs prove themselves in area competitions, which they do. So, when The KEY asked students about this mild controversy, you answered. Are band and choir important classes or extra activities? If you are going to go on in music, it ' s an important class. If you’re in it to have an easy class, it ' s extra-curricular. Mandy Xanders. junior “I ' m not in either, but if you like band and choir, it’s important to you . Jason Kellerman, sophomore Extra activities. You really don’t need them. Band and choir are there if you want them. Ericka Kallies, Ireshman Both. I have to put extra time into choir, but it’s still a class. Scott Deruntz, senior BAND CHOIR
