 Studying is a common sight as students try to keep their grades up. Tim Steep helps Ron Bruck study for an upcoming test. Unpleasant Sights Although most things weren’t too bad. there were some unpleasant sights and sounds around school. At one time or another all of you were scared — like the time you made that one mistake and either Mr. Murphy or Mr. Byram called you into his office. Not very pleasant, huh? Or the sight of tests — or worse yet. exams — really did not cheer you up much, especially if studying was not included in your activities the night before. Every once in a while you heard something you wished you hadn't, like a teacher telling you that your grade was so low that there was no way you could pass, or your girlfriend saying she would rather just be friends. Other unpleasant sounds were heard on the 800 floor when the choir and band were learning a new song; a PE teacher saying something about another lap around the tracki and a teacher announcing a pop quiz. Even though we don't like to think about unpleasant things, they were part of school as they will be throughout our lives. 6 lmroduciion
