in their E peri- od class, stu- dents exper- ience a 11 students who have E peri- .od enjoy getting out of school an hour early, but do I not like sacrificing an hour of sleep. They have to wake up any- time between 5:30 and 7 in order to get to school at 7:15. The benefit of this is that when students arrive for E period the parking lot is empty and the students can park where they want. The number of E period classes has been reduced since the number of students going to school this year is smaller than before. Troy Jensen enjoyed his first year of having an E period class instead of PE. He likes having PE fifth period, because it is warmer. Troy said, I think chemistry goes by faster since I'm not fully awake that early in the morning. Aaron Gillard has had E period PE for three years, but this year he has Spanish IV. Aaron thinks early PE is better, because he can not concen- trate on Spanish that early in the morning. Aaron said, “If I had a choice of which class I could have for E period, I would pick PE. Mike Ervin said, ‘T try to wake up at 6:30, but I normally sleep in until my mom wakes me up at 7. Mike would not trade his E period Chemis- try for an E period PE, because he likes to have the hard classes early in the day. His only class he gets home- work in is Chemistry so he does it during other classes. Jim Sagray has had an E period class almost every year. He said, This year's E period class is the best since I picked the students for the class. He thinks the bad things about E period are no one is awake, sometimes you go to school in the dark, students are tardy a lot, and I have to stay at school for 10 hours in order to help out troubled students. HAVE ANY VTVARIN? oy Jensen shows Mike Ervin the answer to a question on their class work in E period Chemistry. Troy says. I think Chemistry goes by faster, because I'm not awake yet. Both Troy and Mike played on the varsity football team.
