A DAY IN SCHOOL R1IIIIIING!! “Oh no, it can’t be morning already.” This statement is familiar to all the students of Maur Hill and the Mount, day hops and boarders alike. But as painful as it may be, they all manage to crawl out of bed and report to their first hour class for another day in school. Unlike some other schools, a day at Maur Hill and the Mount calls for much prepara- tion. This is required for all students in order to prepare them for college. “I usually spend about three hours a night studying. On test nights I may be up all night, or very late into the night,” said David Peltzer, Atchison se- nior. Academics are not the only things that prepares a student for college here. With a campus-like school, students are often re- quired to walk from building to building for many of their classes. A variety of classes are offered in the Maur Hill and the Academy ac- ademic buildings, then there are the two gym- nasiums for Physical Education, and the Art room, which is located under the old gym. When the bell sounds, the popular stairway, which connects the two academic buildings, looks like a “cattle ramp” filled with students rushing to beat the next bell. Although some students may take an eas- ier array of classes, most look to the future when choosing their schedule. They take clas- ses that will help better prepare themselves for college. “For college is the backbone of our future,” as Andrew Trainer, a Kansas City, MO. senior put it. There are also classes geared for foreign students in the E.F.L. (English as a Foreign Language) program. Students from all over the world come to Maur Hill and the Academy to learn English, and interaction with Ameri- can students help a great deal in that area. There is not much time for students to mingle and associate during the academic day. After school life and extra-curriculars compensate for this, however. But that’s an- other story, (story by Scott Peuker) With only four minutes to get to class, students rush to beat the bell. All but two, that is. A group of EFL students make use of their study hall. Students from all over the world are a part of this program. Rich Valenta awaits a final verdict from Mr. Stork. Termination is the usual punishment at Maur Hill. Mounties cluster around their lockers to get materials for their next class, while Christy Conrad wonders where her ink pen went. Lee Saugstad masters the game of ELIMINATOR dur- ing his computer programing class. ft 21
