Jlrod Trow Bridget Haber PLE- I 505096 Many college bound students chose to take the hard route by studying CP Phcys- ics. During these classes students id labs, took notes, and listened to lectures. The class was known for its exciting ex- periments. One of the demonstrations was used to explain trajectories. The students set up a machine that threw a tennis ball up through the balcony, over the second floor, and down through the second bal- cony. They also performed the polgular bombing Cherry Creek. Jr. ikki Dardano said, It seemed to be the only way for us to destroy them. Amodel of Cherry Creek was made and the students had to figure the correct distance so the bomb would hit and destroy the school. -tive wwf Q30 Bridget Haber ith a look of concentration, Ir.

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

UNGER ZONE a eginning fourth periodfsitudents began to feel a pang g that started as a dull throb and grew into a monstrous feeling, making concentration in class utterly impossible. R Bridget Haber tke many students, Sr. Steve Buck spends his free time relaxing, rather than doing homework. Most students chose to just unwind during their lunch periods. These endless periods are known as fourth, fifth, and sixth. These are the hours that students fill their minds dur- ing classes, while their friends are in the cafeteria filling their stomachs dur- ing free periods. Students had many choices for classes, over 200 in the three periods combined. As fourth hour started stu- dents felt the hunger pains starting, but they had to live with it because the 'ftoneu called. Some classes offered during these hours wereForensics, CreativeWriting,Drama 1, CP Physics, Human Physiology, and Pottery. Jr. Stephanie Mitze, who had Forensics fourth hour, said, It is hard to go to class, especially when I don't have any hours off during the day. It's difficult to get yourself serious about the same speech day after day, knowing your friends are socializingf' Some teachers tried to make class more exciting by incorporating humor into their class schedule.

Many students felt the need to take it easy and tried to arrange their classes so an easy one would come up during fourth, fifth, or sixth. Sr. George Marti- nez said, I took Creative Writing fifth because I thought it would be easy, but my grade sure didn't show it. By the time sixth hour rolled around, the pain had taken over the entire right side of students' brains, and it was im- possible to concentrate. The unfortu- nate students who had a sixth hour class had many classes to choose from in- cluding Marriage andFamily, CP Grammar, CP Physics, and Scuba Div- ing. However, many students didn't go to class. Sr. Melissa Mensik said, I just don't go and worry about howI'm get- ting back in later! Other students just went to class and suffered through it. ,Wk AVVV . ,H l l. .iw ,l. Nt' l l itil s Lori Reece ile talking about deadlines, Srs.
