Classes were even skipped for the sake of extracurricular organizations. However, in spite of this, we still found time for our academic activities. Our schedules were filled with math, English, science, foreign language, and other solid subjects. After all, learning was the original and major purpose of school. Despite popular opinion, learning could sometimes be quite interesting. Labs and other experiences provided a welcome break in routine for science students. Some classes such as art, allowed students to put their talents to good use. These things along with the help of our teachers helped us to gain useful knowledge from classroom activities. Even though we were kept busy with our books and homework, many of us were planning future academics. The PSAT, a test for college- bound juniors, was given in October.

This was especially true during the pep rallies when each class attempted to out yell the others in the competition victory cheer. However, despite the competition, we had to put up with one another, because the classrooms would often be filled with seniors as well as underclassmen. , ff' .- -I JV PEP rally proves to be a good time for Lana Clark to enjoy an ice cream bar.
