TIME nar — Why did war break out in Europe in 1914? Does anyone really know for sure? Will we ever know? . . . Yet war is the common state of humanity, and peace is difficult to achieve. Should Johnny Got His Gun be banned? Ms. Brewer acts as the mediator and guide directing the students on their journey through the history of the United States. The students actually experience history instead of just reading about it. I motion for adjourment. I second the mo- tion. This meeting stands adjourned. 11:07-11:37 1st Lunch, Cafe 1 — It ' s impossible to just forget about History after D-Block ends. Often a few of the students take their discussion down to Caf. 1 where Ms. Brewer can be found during first lunch diligently watching the rable- It ' s time to leave ... for many it is the start of after school activities. Science Core computer consultants — always there, always helping. rousers, jello throwers, and fork dingers. Some wise guy-probably the Surgeon General- once said, You are what you eat. I find this statement extremely upsetting when contemplat- ing the school food. Well, all seriousness aside, 1 suppose the school food is occasionally edible. 11:41-12:25 E-Block, Study — T ime to go back to sleep or to do that Algebra homework. 12:29-1:13 G-Block, Algebra — Not much to talk about here. 1:17-2:01 F-Block, Gym — Time for a little la- crosse action. A few roll dodges. By the end of October it ' s going to be freezing out there. Another day gone, but there is still tomorrow. Mark Trombley and Lisa Pabich, the backbone of the IC . . . come and join the fun. Time to go, but wherever we travel, we ' re still 1! Time, May 19 83.
