STRIVING 1. 2. 3, 4. 5 ... they're just num- bers. but they're also grades that Prescott High students strived for in their elective classes. Long hours of study and work were put in to achieve the top grades students wanted. Take, for example, Jane Smith, a typical PHS student in a typical school day: Groggily awak- ening at 4 a.m. to the persistent beep of her alarm. Jane drags herself sleepily to her open anatomy book. Test today Only two more hours of study and I'll be ready. At 6 a.m. she heads for the shower, driver's ed manual in hand 7:30 am. - Jane drives haphazardly down De- merse reciting French verbs. 7:45-3:25 - A hectic day of tests, cramming, homework, and lectures. At 3:30 p.m. Jane staggers out the doors of PHS. a mountain of books stacked in her arms. From 3:45 - 6:00 p.m. Jane is submersed in a vigorous study period involving World Affairs, Journalism, Child Development, and Introduction to Law 6:30 -11:30 p.m. - Continued study in the world of history and geography. 11:35 p.m. - Jane falls exhaustedly asleep, a Spanish book clasped pro- tectively in her arms. This might seem a little extreme, but many PHS students did work hard to achieve. Playing the tuba in the band was something I really worked hard on so that I wouldn't sound stupid. laughed senior Kiril Tomoff. As students strived for perfec- tion. they battled tough classes, sleepless nights, and tedious lectures. Preparing for Homecom- ing took almost all my free time, commented junior Norman Howard. And with newspaper re- sponsibilities and 15 extra hours of service re- quired for student council, I took my electives VERY seriously! With all the work that goes into electives, did students think it was worth it? It's fun to try to learn about different things besides our required classes, said junior Cindi Holder. “They make classes more interesting when you like what you're taking, so it's not so hard to give up a little time.
