Mr. Myer tries to strangle Bill Grossnickle after a trying day with the periodic table. Actual murders were uncommon, but threats by Mr. Myer were familiar, though usually ignored. School doesn 'tget everyone down, as shown here by Chris Clark, who doesn't seem to mind doing his homework. This attitude is shared by few at Manchester. 24 ACADEMICS

Many options available at Manchester Academic Advantage When many people remember their high school years, they think of friends, basketball games or field trips. Though the classes are the most important part of high school, rarely do students remember the math or English classes first. While some stu- dents forget the importance of classes, it is continually emphasized by all the teachers and most try their best to get good grades in each class. Manchester High School offers all kinds of classes - from English to agriculture. Students can take art or music, can goof off in one or two study halls, or can enroll in seven solid sub- jects. The wide range of classes avail- able makes it easier for everyone to get a few electives in what they enjoy along with the required courses. Stu- dents can also earn quarter credits by serving as aides to teachers and the staff. A lot of students take ad- vantage of the zero-period option, which offers a class from 7:15 to 8:05 and lets those involved leave the school after 6th period. Some students who wish to work faster in English en- roll in the Honors English class. The atmosphere in a class such as this is more conducive to class discussion be- cause of the few number of students. Students who needed more individual instruction could take part in the Learning Disabled classes. With more attention, these students are better equipped to do their best work. This year Mr. Smith experimen- ted with the final exam schedule, try- ing to allow plenty of time for the stu- dents to study. All the math and En- glish classes took their exams at the same time, so teachers and students could get them out of the way. Stu- dents appreciated the breaks between exams. Due to a new state la w. all freshmen and juniors are now required to take the IS- TEP test. Here. Todd Robinson finishes his test while Matt Rife waits quietly for time to be called. Freshmen Teresa Martin. Steph Meeks, and Amy Lehman combine their efforts at the computer. One semester of com- puter literacy. taught by Mr. Sparrow, is required of all freshmen. ACADEMICS 25
