• • m • .4 w- The saying, You learn something new everyday, was no exception here. The exceptional faculty and the stu- dents ' willingness to learn and excel was obvious as many honors were awarded this year. Senior Vu Do expressed his feelings Marshall provides an outstanding variety of courses. The Senior level AP courses are particularly rewarding, in addition to the high-level technical courses available, such as Calculus and Physics II. Art-related courses such as Humanities give the student an op- portunity to temper art with science. It seems that the quality of teaching is directly proportional to the degree of difficulty of the course. This is helpful in that one usually finds a real need for help in the high school level course. With Marshall ' s excellent teachers, a student is provided with a great opportunity to receive a quality education. I doubt that I could get a better quality education any- where else.
