The firsf ray in fhe prism focused on our classes, fhose sessions in which we con- finued fo sfruggle wifh readin', wrifin', and 'rifhmefic. As freshmen, we were puzzled by all fhe adiusfmenfs of high school, buf even more so by some of our courses. Al- gebra was a foreign language fhaf we had frouble inferprefingg English was fhe same old fhing, buf somehow if managed fo be- come even more complicafed: and in our civics classes, we forgof whaf was norfh and whaf was soufh in our sfafe. Sophomore classes held a wider variefy of fhings abouf which fo learn. Those infer- esfed in commercial and secrefarial work fook fyping and shorfhand, while vocafion- ally minded sfudenfs began work in fhe shops. ln connecfion wifh refailing and ofher com- mercial courses, some of us worked in fhe co-op fraining program, doing secrefarial work, selling, and somefimes bookkeeping. College prep sfudenfs delved info world hisfory and a foreign language, and every- one read Julius Caesar. When we reached our iunior year, we be- gan fo feel more like upperclassmen. Our work remained a challenge fo us, nonefhe- less, and U.S. hisfory and advanced algebra caused much forn hair and chewed pencils. We began our senior year under new cir- cumsfances. For fhe firsf fime, we were' wifhouf homerooms, and classes lasfed from eighf in fhe morning unfil almosf five in fhe affernoon. Many of us found schedules a liffle inconvenienf, buf we learned fo fake fhem in sfride. Classes confinued as usual, iusf as inferesfing and especially excifing, for graduafion was only fen monfhs away. We fried fo reduce our class loads fo have fime for senior acfivifies, buf we were sfill able fo sfudy frig, physics, governmenf, and advanced comp. As iuniors in chemisfry, we learned how fo blow up fhe school, buf in sociology, we learned why we shouldn'f. Some classes we liked: ofhers we felf were forced upon us, buf as we look back on fhem, we realize fhaf fhey were all a neces- sary parf of our preparafion for fhe fufure.
