AP courses give students head start on college credits For new college students, getting all the asic credits in math, history, English, etc., in be very time consuming. Many Round Rock seniors and juniors orked to earn some of those credits in high :hool by enrolling in Advanced Placement nurses. Round Rock High offered students a mance to place out of college courses in nglish, calculus, and American History. Advanced Placement curriculum was very different from ordinary classes. Think- ing, rather than simply practicing mechanical skills, was heavily stressed. AP students in all areas spent less time working from a book than everyday classes, and many times they wrote research papers and book analyses. As Marcia Hilsabeck, AP English teacher, pointed out, her class was not a course in basics, it was a course in how to think. Getting into an advanced course was not as simple as just signing up with the counselors. To enter the English courses, a student must qualify for either the Talented and Gifted or the Honors program, plus he or she had to write an audition paper for Hilsabeck. Less stringent qualifications were required to join the other AP courses. After qualifying for one of the classes, students spent the year preparing for the College Board standard exam given in May. Henry Heisch, AP physics teacher, tells students Brian Lewis and Mlke Dahle, seniors, about the uses of Geiger counters. Shirley Kinningham, AP calculus teacher, answers a student's question on differentiation.

Mentorship students receive valuable work experience While most students were impatiently waiting for the bell in their sixth and seventh period classes, a handful of seniors spent those hours working at local businesses. Every school day except Friday, Tim Homer, Connie Inman, Brad Monasmith, Celia Dobias and Man Nguyen went to their first five classes, then left for work. Le Celia Dobias, senior, listens to a guest speaker. Dobias originally joined the program to work at Channel 36, but decided to go into teaching instead, Senior Brad Monasmith, an employee of Pena-Swayze Accountants, works at his computer terminal. On Friday, they met for two hours with Mary Reynolds, sponsor, and Westwood mentorship students. At these meetings students shared work experiences, listened to guest speakers, and went on field trips. According to Reynolds, the program was designed to give students practical work ex- perience and to make them more aware of as f X '23 N ,sbs I B A H - . s their community. Mentorship students were placed with a professional in an area in which they were interested. These businesses ranged fron the Department of Human Resources where Connie Inman worked, to Pena Swayze Accountants, Brad Monasmith': workplace.
