It's the culturally diverse language Latin. Second hour Latin class was com- posed of readings from the Roman clas- sics such as Homer, Aristotle, and Ovid. Latin was not only an academic course but an actual culture shock. For example, students participated in a mock wedding. The wedding was only finalized after the priest sacrificed a virgin lamb and the groom tied the belt of the bride. Latin.

Class schedules were also en- hanced with this number, as over 80 academic and elective classes were of- fered for students during third hour. While some students were in their required English or math classes, others were enrolled in academic classes they specifically chose to take. For instance, Human Physiology attracted those in- terested in medicine. The class pro- vided an in-depth study of the body and its functions. Labs were frequent as hands-on training was an important part of the leaming. Jr. Jason Persoff said, The class takes away a lot of the mys- tery of the human body and replaces it with awe as the answers to my questions are always so incredible. Students who were looking ahead to college chose to take AP courses such as Calculus or AP History. Calculus was the highest math class offered. AP His- tory studied history more closely than other classes and dealt with analyzing famous historians and events. Extra reading and writing made the course college level. Sr. Dan Yamagishi said, It's abig headache most ofthe time, but it's worth a few college credits. Third period also offered many elec- tives that allowed students to express themselves. Creative Writing allowed expression through writing, whereas drama allowed expression through ac- tion and voice. Photography offered students the chance to make everything from pinhole cameras to solarized prints. Photography allowed expression through vision. Students interested in art signed up for such classes as Pottery which gave them a chance to create. Soph. Kim Cobum said, It was a way to divide some hard classes, and since I like art, I thought it would be different than the ordinary art classes. Pottery allowed expression through art. While some students sweated through Weight Training, others defended or prosecuted one another in You and the Law and still others cooked in Foods or recitedFrench orGe1man. Thirdperiod found classrooms filled with students either still awakening or beginning to hunger for lunch. Just as triple scoop ice cream cones and three day weekends enhanced stu- dents' lives, so did third hour classes enhance their schedules. 51525 Z72
