QSV My as S Mia french Ever since I started taking French, I haven't been able to quit! The language is so beautiful and romantic. Vicki McLemore, senior, has consistently demonstrated her comprehension in both reading and understanding French. 'fl love the flowing beauty of the language. If French is going to be her life's work, she would like to be an interpreter at the United Nations or a foreign ambassador. It's strange. Some- times l'll find myself thinking in French! Q Aw.. Ialin Scott Tyson chose to take Latin because Latin is frequently used in such fields of study as law and the sci- ences. Scott, a junior, thought the lan- guage was easy to learn and the history interesting. I plan to study Latin for at least one more year. I'm sure that I will be able to use it in some field of study. f Q . Q 5' Us ing I I at M A to 3' Q fi , QaH2'.: jim Vu ' ,' QIWGQ-3 't 'X ming 53: Q 3 5 : if I I , fb , S if limi- It 4 :gi .

This comment about Iunior Tom Davis was made by Mrs. Evelyn Moreland, Trig-E.A. teacher. Tom added, Perhaps I stand out because I usually understand before tT10St of the others. The subject is interesting and commands extra effort beyond the aver- age course. More imagination is required and it is more of a puzzle. Tom used his knowledge in math tour- naments, saying, 'I did well and con- tributed to the team's overall score. Everyone likes to win trophies. Tom mainly worked for understanding. If the process is well understood, perfec- tion doesn't really matter. r X- X calculus With math courses always being easy for him, Martin Bailey, senior, found Calculus to fit that description one more time. Mrs. Evelyn Moreland, Mar- tin's Calculus teacher commented, He seemed more interested in math and accepted the challenges even better than he had in previous years. Martin added, 'II now realize that I may go into a mathematical profession in the future and if I wish to succeed at this, I should try and do well in the preparatory stages. Martin only had to spend from 15 to 30 minutes each night to study Calculus. Mrs. Moreland verified this by saying that Martin was one of the few seniors in Calculus who was really stud- ying and trying to do his best. 'Y' S honors IOS

I. C. tholson, freshman, spent approxi- .tely three hours working for this ard. American History is one of my orite subjects, and I enjoy getting olved in it in any way I can. The inte- l events which occurred to make the frld what it is today are extremely resting to me, and because of my rest in this course, learning the sub- matter came easily.

I entered the contest not mainl' for the award, but for the chance 'tt compete.' I felt I had learned a grea deal, so I didn't try to study really hart like a week before the contest, because it would be a contest to determine memorization ability rather than knowl- edge and understanding of the history of the world. Dub summed everything up by saying, As they say, 'those who are ignorant toward history are destinec to relive it.' Whether this is true or not, I don't know and don't care to find out, at least not by example. RD SPA 'N ln... ip, 1 1 .af V5.1 y . honors 107
