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.

Mr. Mark Moe assigned a one-act play to be written and performed by the students. ewlyweds Ir. Nikki Dardano and Sr. Tor Aarestad celebrate the fourth hour Latin mock wedding. Many teachers found exciting and humorous ways to teach during the hunger periods. 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.

to go, period seven came as a r The end of the day couldn't be better as long as the was filled with excitement and interesting assignments. The tardy tone sounds. Only two peri- ods left and the day is over. Algebra, American History, and printmaking were just a few of the courses offered during period seven. Because it was so close to the end of the day, it would be only normal for students to be anxious and hyperactive during their seventh hour. Jr. Mollie Eaton said, My favor- ite thing about my Spanish 3 class is the break in the middle of class. Every day we get a few free minutes to take a break from classwork. Without these breaks, we would only think about the end ofthe day, and we wouldn't concentrate on our work. Home economics teacher Gayle Er- skine was able to make her period seven class both educational and fun at the same time. Her Child Development class took a week out of normal class activities to create awareness of stu- dents with differences. Special Ed Awareness Week tumed out to be a great success. Students learned about birth defects and other handicaps and how to work with people with these problems. Parents, teachers in Life Skills, and home ec teachers worked together the entire week to increase student awareness. Next year, there will be a new team class coming from this experience that will consist of both regular and special ed students. Another class that did something unusual was anEnglish9class.Tomake things more interesting, Mr. Woodie Smith created a game allowing his stu- dents to get to know each other. Fr. Amy Czeczok said, We got some paper bags and, with them, we leamed who we were and about our interests. We called these Bag Speeches. Since period seven was so close to the end of the day, having an exciting class helped students look forward to their last few classes for a reason other than school letting out. 1:1 S2E1EIE1E1ESE121EfEfE1E2 U ELECTIVES ffm H129 Is there such a thing as an ideal class? A class with no homework, few written tests, and the radio on could be consid- ered an ideal class. Typing I fit that description and was offered during this period. Soph. Sharol Preisser said, 'LI took this class so I would be able to type my papers faster and with less mistakes. There were only a few written tests and they weren't really hard. My favorite part ofthis class was when we got to type to music. This helped us with our rhythm. For an ideal class that would help with future assignments, typing is the class. wtf Teri Lundin hat type of class was offered during sev enth period? Soph.
