Earning a Diploma It is becoming more difficult for students to earn a diplo- ma. The State Department of Education has increased the number of Carnegie units for both advanced and general diplomas. Since the State Department is requiring more sub- jects, the only choices left for the students are whether to attend the trade school and take the appropriate classes for a general diploma or take all college preparatory classes to receive an advanced diploma. On top of all the other require- ments, students must also pass the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. Today, it is tough for high school students to earn a diploma. The Junior class survived one more day of math remediation. ITlCl'1l.

Senior Memories For the short time that I've known you And have come to be your friend, lim wishing for some extra time Before it has to end. I know I'll seldom see you In the future years to come, So I'll say what I have to say Then Illl be finished, I'll be done. I hope you will remember me And all the fun we shared. I hope you'll think of all the things About which we cared. I guess I,ll have to go now And say my last good-bye. I'll say it with a smiling face But when I'm gone I'll cry.
