lf your last name began with S, P, or L, you were one of the luckier sophomores. You were one of the first to register. At fall registration all of the sophomores were seen in approximately the same areas. Most rushed to the SRC tState Require- ment Coursej teachers first, accept- ing any open spot they might have. Then they'd build the rest of their schedule around that class. Robin Lindley, one of the more for- tunate sophomores, stated, l didn't have any trouble getting my classes, but all of my friends did, so we didn't end up with the same lunch like we had planned. Even the students that could get SRC still had to do a lot of juggling to fit in the other required courses. Each and every sophomore had to have a P.E. class, a science class UPS or lSlj, a HES sizipninmcines sup l'll Ha e the Usual lunch period 15th or 6thj, and an Eng- lish class. Being required to take all of these resulted in the strong similari- ties between the schedules of the sophomore students. There were, of course, the excep- tions who chose to break up the monotony by joining a club or add- ing a fun elective to their otherwise routine schedule. Those who took IPS or ISI as freshmen ended up with a biology, chemistry or Western Civi- lization class. just like when you order a meal, the sophomores were offered a choice. They could try something dif- ferent or just say, l'lI have the usual! Q pFORElGN LANGUAGES are a common elec- tive, as well as a college requirement.

that when they did use these drugs, they were accompanied by friends. Sixty-one percent of those sur- veyed commented that they had used or were still using many types of drugs and alcohol, while, on the other hand, 3973 stated they would never even consider trying the unnat- ural highs, Stated one WHS student, I just get high off of life itself. According to researchers on teen- age drug abuse, 682 of these teenag- ers turn to drugs out of curiosity or in an attempt to escape from boredom or other problems. One student sum- med it up by saying, I do it because there's nothing else to do, and l'm hooked. Students do not usually intend to become victims of drugs such as pot, hash, and cocaine, but once that first step of popping a pill or snorting some coke is taken, the reality of turning back seems worthless and impossible. The addict usually turns to a life of crime to support his crav- ing for drugs. Often the victim vvill not stop for anything. For instance, many addicted teenagers will actually steal money from their parents in sat- isfytheir desires. ln concluding, the Cayuse report on teenage drug abuse, the results indicated that teenagers would go to all measures to fulfill their need for acceptance among their peers. The Cayuse was not trying to prove that every student at WHS is a drug addict or alcoholic, it just happens to be a popular problem. Q Drugsffeature
