Live To Tell It ' s the thing that makes you break out in a cold sweat and the hair rise up on the back of your neck. It ' s the dreaded Research Paper, that comes every year to haunt the unsuspecting students in a whirlpool of books, bibliog- raphy cards, and notes. Both the junior and senior English classes were required to write research papers starting in early Spring and continuing un- til the last 6 weeks. By the end of the year, students felt they were experts in the art of research and even started to sound like their papers: When I ' m in a lachry- mose state of mind, it quickly be- comes fait accompli, Rachel Clements, senior said. College bound students benefited from research papers, even though they tore their hair out. i MS S D ' Ann Hall, and Missy Callihan intently read Moby Dick in their Junior English class, Fred Weber enjoys a much shorter version of the story by reading Cliff Notes. You gotta do what you gotta do whether you like it or not, Greg Weiner, senior, said when read- ing ' MacBeth ' in this English IV class. ACADEMICS 95

Drawing On Their Experiences Art, Social Studies Students Explore Their World Map drawing skills, drawing inferences from historic events, and illus- trating a student ' s idea of a flower may seem unre- lated, but many related skills were used by social studies and art students. Each class period teachers led students to a more complete picture of the world they lived in. Miss Margarette Stan- field, art teacher in high school and junior higl Junior Roger Lopez works dili- gently on his art project. Junior Emily Fairchild is in deep thought while she works on trac- ing letters for a glass etching pro- ject in art. Tracing is one of my many talents, but you should see me with crayons, Emily Fairchild, Junior presented students with daily projects. Many of the students enrolled for an easy grade, and D ' Ann Hall, junior, said, The best thing about art was NO homework. Most teachers help the students by explaining to them what was expected. Marlin Handal, sopho- more, said Miss Stanfield would usually explain something about 8,000 times. History teacher John Kasten worked to help students understand how historical events were not just some old facts to memorize and forget im- mediately after a test. Stratego was a war game we used in his class to learn how to divide and conquer enemies, Kristi Kneupper said. Drawing parallels be- tween past and current events, Troy Oakes, taught government and economics by helping stu- dents see history does re- peat itself. They studied corporations, Constitu- tional amendments, struc- tures of corporations, how the Stock Market operates and how to become a suc- cessful entrepreneur. The money sounded in- teresting, Senior Kathy Castilleja said. 96 ART SOCIAL STUDIES
