Math Analysis was offered three other times during the day. orking on trajectories, Srs. Tres Thurston, Richard Sincovec, Tian Anderson, Bill Hovel and Bob Stoner work on the AP lab. AP Physics was taken by those who wanted to get a college credit also. Oh craps! With the luck of the roll, the reward either great or disastrous, people tried to increase their winnings. AP Physics students dealt with this fate about 12 time's during the semester. Instead of '4Craps the game was Rolling for Fail- ures. Depending on the roll, which in retum supplied a question on daily work, students either passed or failed. Black Monday came and went, but students in Mrs. Susan Burrows' eighth hour Economics class got the chance to be involved in Black Monday thru Fri- day. In the class students were given SlO0,000 to do with whatever they pleased. They chose to pick, buy, and sell stocks. Sponsored by The Denver Post, students got the chance to compete against other schools to see who could go to the national competition for own- ing a successful stock. Soviet-American Relations was taken by both juniors and seniors. They leamed about the U.S. national security policy and the Soviet threat. Through Mr. Eric Coble, students learned about banana-boat republics, cretinous liz- ards, and the INF treaty. Jr. Kristin Werth said, The class made what was happening in the world funf, From the world to the classroom, Math Analysis students concentrated on figuring out math problems. I vegetate on the binomial theorem, said Sarah Bate. Math Analysis was taken by stu- dents who either were headed for the calculus direction or were on the last step in their mathematical pyramid. Extending math knowledge was some- times hard to handle- especially eighth period. Sr. Lisa Herckner said, We have to do proofs that make you feel like you need to be a genius to do it. Whether it was an academic or elec- tive class offered eighth hour, students were tired of being in class and they would have rather been home vegging on the couch watching their soap or doing almost anything but listening to some teacher talking about anything dealing with school. .

The cost did not deter those still interested in the class. With six dif- ferent sections costing S70 per per- son, students enjoyed learning about safety along with fun. Sr. Jay Ginsberg said, I took the class be- cause I might do some scuba diving on my next vacation. ecrsv fwa 11 ta,i ,.,.,...,.i.. .,.,.,.y,,,,.,i. .,i. .gizgzzzii rzgzgicgzgz gzgzgcgzgzgzi ---5.3.1211 .g:1':-:-:- 2-1-244 11-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-g-1-:' :':':-:-:-:-:-:':.:.:.:- as A ,, S if? ,,,t, ,, tta.ttt,tt gum H-My 4 ,,,-,. , ,,tt Ma. ,, N M. , saas 1 ,, xr' w , . .. .

UT OF BOUND ' 4 en students tired of the old 7:3Oto 2T3'Oischedule, the found alternatives--whether they attended vocational schools or the Manor, they found education elsewhere. Getting an education without com- ing to school?! Some students could only daydream about it in class, but for other students, learning outside of school was a common occurrence. Vocational schools offered a chance for students to further educate them- selves beyond the realms of high school. Sr. Melissa Mensik attended a voca- tional school to leam to be a dental assistant. Like many other students, Melissa attended classes in the moming from 7:15 to 10:15. After classes at Votcch, Melissa came to school here to take aftemoon classes. These vocational classes counted as three grades on the report card and tran- script, so they could really help or hurt a grade point average. Melissa said, The class l'm taking at Votech has really made me realize that if I still want to continue with dental assisting, I will have a better idea of what lim in for. If I decide not to pursue it, at leastl found out before I go to college. Some students who had trouble adapting to a high school environment also had an off-campus education. The Manor provided a place for students who had problems with high school classes and motivation. The education was more individualized--about one teacher to every ten students--and the environment more relaxed than a regu- lar public high school. Experiencing both schools, Sr. Gary Stimpson attended the Manor for his moming classes. Comparing OHS's environment to the one at the Manor, Gary said, The teachers and policies aren't tougher, they're just fairer. As students remained within the con- fines of four walls, others found their education out of bounds. njoying the pictures in a book, Ir. Young Yun takes a break. In between classes the special education students either relaxed or found something fun to do. r. Matt Rolls takes time out from class to look for an designs. Students at the Manor were able to develop artistic skills as well as academic ones, partly because of the ex- tremely low teacherlstudent ratio. P ul Sorenson 1 . I .
