But staying late didn't bother Jimmy. He looked at it as a learning process. I was pretty bored after the first few days, but I decided to at- tend with an open mind and stick with it. I actu- ally started to enjoy it so much that I looked for- ward to it. n having only eight people in the class, it gave an opportu- nity for the teacher to spend time with the in- dividua1. By having smaller classes, the sunrisefsunset students were able to express their views freely. fter a moment of intense thought Jimmy said, I'll look back to it as one of my favorite classes. .Quue17 tfuwuze 57

Reading, writing and arithmetic. Such classes loom over students daily schedule. Either they pass ba- sic classes, or come back next year and take them over. lt is illogical to make students take classes that they don't want to take, saidriunior Gentry McColm. Sophomore Kerri Pynne had a different view on the subject. I think it should be mandatory for every student to pass all science, English, and math courses. With- out them it would be difficult to survive in today's society. Kerri finds no trouble in any of the above classes as she sports an A and B report card consistently each nine weeks. Although sophomore Kyle ln- scho keeps on top of his school work, he discourages the present system. Students should build their schedule the way they want, it's our life. They shouldn't tell us what to do. In high school, students should take full advantage of learning, says senior Tanya Martin. Sure, I've had schedule conflicts throughout my high school life and heaven knows I've taken classes l'd rather not have, but it all builds character for later life. Now's the time to learn. I wish I could go back and redo a lot, but I've got to accept it. Pete Carver xercise in the classroom. Limber students are eager to answer Mr. Randy Robert's questions.
