What motivates us to sacrifice luxuries in life, such as sleep, for school? The answer, of course, lies in credits. Though some classes are re- quired for graduation, students are free to choose courses. Differ- ent opinions across campus de- velop as to which classes are most enjoyable, most beneficial and which classes cause permanent brain damage. Senior Mark Mabanag ad- mitted that working in the guid- ance office and delivering coun- seling slips is great fun, especially since it requires little thought! Junior Michele Ramos, on the other hand, enjoys her Honors English class. “Mr. Sheehy is very difficult, but he manages to make learning a totally interesting ex- perience.” There are certain types of classes, however, that stir a quea- sy feeling in even the most dedi- cated students. Nevertheless, we all must endure them in order to look forward to a challenging fu- ture. So, get used to those late nights and know that you're work- ing toward success! By Tanya Pine.

They say a friend in need is I a friend indeed. To see | just what this means, stroll across campus to find someone engrossed in demonstrating the uses of differential equations to a friend even though she feels like she’s explained it fifty-nine times. Or peep into the quad to see a guy buy a Coke so that his friend on crutches won’t have to get up. Good deeds aren't always life- or-death feats. Many people sim- ply expressed gratitude for the support of their friends. For example, junior Darcie Palmer said of her best friend Tris- tine Anderson, “She has always been there for me, and I don't know what I'd do without her friendship! Mr. Sheehy really helped me get through Moby-Dick,” claimed senior Suzanne Nelson. If he hadn't made the class so much fun, 1 would have thrown Ishmael overboard! A good number of students also | manage to help others outside of school. Junior Shim Patel, who | volunteers at Santa Teresa Hospi- tal. said, Helping others gives me J a good feeling. It makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. There are many Good Samari- tans hiding behind the bushes at j S.T., so take a moment to find the saint in every Saint. By Terri Lirj
