ee, it's not that bad.

Throughout the centuries, lan- guages developed and expanded in hopes of creating a greater speak- ing public. Students realized the necessity of being able to read, write, and speak a language other than English. Foreign language classes grew in trying to keep up with student de- mand. Jeremy O'Dell, a freshman, said, Colleges want students to have at least two years of a foreign language. I don't want to be turned down because I only took one year of a language. Students showed their dedication to completing foreign language re- quirements by attending sunset Latin and German classes. Nine students stayed after school every- day to learn the language of Rome, while six German students gave up their afternoon freetime. Junior Pete Carver said, At first, I didn't like staying every after- noon but now, I'm used to it and enjoy the class. Teacher changes were visible in the Spanish department. Mrs. Marty Armstrong took a leave of absence to have her baby, creating a vacancy that several substitute teachers filled. Luckily, Mrs. Jane Cooper stayed in her position the whole year. Mr. Ray Wates, who also taught English, taught one of the French classes. His class helped to focus on the basics of the French language. Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman contin- ued to teach French to willing stu- dents. Junior Lynn Hazelwood advised students who were interested in a language to get involved with it early. jason Boan said, Avoid the pressure of having to pass a lan- guage class by starting early. That way, if you like it, you can continue taking it until you graduate. Britt Lunceford QW? Nasa iii?

It got stolen. Ilost it. Some of the countless excuses given to teachers as reasons for late or incomplete homework. While some of the homework was really misplaced or left at home, a lot of the homework was not turned in due to lack of time or determination. Surprisingly enough, students have accepted homework as a nec- essary part of a class. Senior Jill Wheeler said, I feel like home- work is just another part of school. You either do it and pass, or don't and fail. Freshmen were forced to adjust to heavy demands in homework for their classes. There's a lot more homework in high school than 78 Nmewmk there was in middle school. Some- times I don't think I'll ever get it done said Allison Stewart The endless debate however centered on how much homework was too much While some stu dents believed that two hours of homework were too much others felt that they were lucky if only three hours were assigned Markus Sims said As soon as I get home I get started and work for about three hours I don t mind doing the work but just not so much of it Attitudes about homework were summed up by Lynn Driggers It s what you try to finish at school ignore on the weekends and try to do as little as possible Brltt Lunceford ff MWWM vertime Receiving help from Ke vin Chappell jenny Connolly works on her homework During lunch and before school students worked on homework sn the hbrary iPhoto by Gary Webb! his is homework?
