Unique groups promote looming Research Scholars was a group of students who desired a more academic approach in their classes. This program com- pleted its third year at Marshall and consisted of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. The students were recommended by their eighth grade teachers to be involved in this program which placed them in more advanced English, math, and science classes. Because this was a special program, the students were already pre-scheduled and weren't required to go through arena scheduling. These students were also given opportuni- ties to attend various workshops which were designed to aid them in their studies. Junior Jenny Megyesi summed it up by saying, i'Research Scholars is a tough program, but anyone who is determined and wants to learn could handle it. A change occurred in the Freshmen Humanities Depart- ment as freshmen were required to take a Global Studies class. I think itis very important to talk about the United States and us as a part to see where we fit in, commented Freshmen Humanities Instructor Pat Baars. The class of '83 was also the first class required to take competency tests in order to graduate from high school. These tests included basic math and word usage skills to prove that there was something learned in high school. s- Ep si Nr 1 i 'ii W 'i:'i' ,Q - ' ' . ' .. .--' - ....
