Unknown student found . . . Saturday morning, police found a fifteen year old unknown student in an apparent coma. He was discovered slumped on his desk, his face surrounded by school books and unfinished homework assignments. The preliminary police report indicated that he was brain dead. Although no one has actually been found brain dead from too much homework, some feel that it causes major problems. After three hours of homework, I am usually tired and have a headache, said Sophomore Kristi Keith. People have many different places and ways to do homework, whether they enjoy it or not. I like to do my homework in front of the t.v. because the t.v. distracts me and I don't get tired of doing my homework as quickly as I do After finishing her TEAMS test, Junior Sharon Wrinkle wandered into the choir room to finish some Algebra II homework. I wanted to finish my homework so I wouldn't have to take it home, Wrinkle said. After she finished she waited for her next class to start.

Homework can be classified in many different categories. There is vocabulary, questions, essay, math, or reading. I hate having Algebra I homework. I sit there and think and think and I just can't remember what the teacher saidf' said Sophomore Chris Harrison. Others just do their homework with no distractions. i'Usually nothing helps me do my homework but I do enjoy listening to my radio while I work, said Sophomore Shannon Mesecher. What about unfinished homework? I hate to go into class without my homework. I think that I'm not going to ever get it done and I will get a zero and get griped out by the teacher and then she may not like me anymore. said Freshman Brandon Harrison. Whether you like it or not, you have got to take the good and you have to take the bad. Homework is just a fact of life. 1 0 Student Life r.. .3 f, A r- rrrierr K .scifi fits It's 1:00 in the morning. Your research paper is due first period tomorrow.

A, After school, Senior Tommy Mondoux wandered into Larry Simms, room to finish some makeup work. I did this during sixth period. I usually go home but not this time. I had to do it so Jennifer Muncey fmy English teacheri wouIdn't be mad at me, said Moundoux. Trying to finish her homework as fast as possible in order to eat supper, Sophomore Jennifer Knovicka tries anything and everything to get it done. My cat tries to get my attention because she thinks I am giving my books more attention than her, said Konvicka After Sting workout Junior Kerri Tatum proved that she really did study for Algebra II. Pam and Margo were seeing how much I really did know about alge- bra. It just took a little bit to open my eyes and put on a dumb face. .s.is.. lsi It 'ffffI1dvasion.of I s the Body f Snatchersf ' You sit in class and wait-then lt comes: the horrible body snatcher-the office worker. When an office worker fes- pecially Mr. I-Iorni comes into class ,I auto- matically start to feel guilty. I don't know why-everybody knows I never do any- thing wrong! said Sophomore Robin Henderson. But how do the body snatchers feel about all of this? Working in the office is very interesting and exciting. The only drawback is getting people out of class. . .I get the sour look from some teachers who are really wrapped up in their teaching, and from the students I get the oh my gosh I'm in trouble look. said Junior Nyki Lee. 1 I A Being an office worker can sometimes be dangerous. f'One time when I was picking up cards, someone had put 'rattlesnake eggs' in an envelope in the attendance card holder. When I opened the enve- lope, the 'snakes' scared me to death! said office worker Kathy Hampton, a senior. Photo by Geoff Kraatz Brain Deadflnvasion 1 1
