Z5 - 1 Qtr. rj ' . Q,-.J 2- ' 1 I Ill Having already completed Chemistry ll and Biology II, Senior Tom Davis took Physics ll because he felt that he needed to take another science. Also, Tom had enjoyed Physics I. The class worked hard, with the exception of Physics ll club meetings, or discussion breaks. Tom especially liked mechanics because he enjoyed seeing howthings work. Senior Lynn Forthaus took on a great deal of responsibility when she assumed the role of editor as her second year on staff began. I got frustrated when we were behind, commented Lynn, but once we had deadlines behind us, there was a lot of gratification. Lynn added, The atmosphere was really relaxed. I was able to get to know the staff as friends, and that made working together a lot easier and a lot more fun. When I was a freshman, I was very impressed with the newspaper, said Senior Chris Wallis, Oracle editor, and at that point I decided to be the editor of it. Chris enjoyed working with the variety of people on Oracle staff. I like being editor because it's the position that probably has the most creativity. I get to be the one who makes the decisions about whether we'Il run a story about kids with alcoholic parents down to decisions about the point size of the type we're going to use in the staff box. g. .
