WORK, WORK, WORK. Seniors in Mrs. Geraldine Holbrooks' third period English class stay busy throughout the year. The Seniors work on plays, short stories, and poems as well as writing their own essays. SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, TURN AROUND, FACE THE FRONT, AND ACT LIKE SENIORS. These chastising words are constantly heard from Mrs. Geraldine Holbrooks' third period Senior Advanced Placement English Class. These students enjoy listening to Mrs. Holbrooks' ex- pressions as they toil through novels and study guides. 126f Studying EE

STEN UP. Coach Osborne points out iere he wants his students to line up before acticing their basketball skills. Working Gut: Mind and Body The importance of learning about our nation and other nations' history is being emphasized here at West. Freshman take U. S. Government because it is a required course. Sophomores take World History and Juniors take their last year of required history by studying American History. A new course, added to the choices of history classes, was offered to Seniors here at West. The class was Sociology in which students learned about society and the behavior of people in society. Physical Education was required for only one year. Many students continued to take P.E. to better their abilities in many sports. The advanced students who play school sports Worked out for class in the weight room at the field house. We found that improving and building the strength of our mind is equally important as doing the same for our bodies. Social Studies, P.E.! 125

Homework Habits One way to make good grades in school is to study. By that, it is meant to make the effort to learn by reading or thinking. Although most students do study, not all students study the same way. Each person has his own unique way of preparing for class. This is just a few ways students said that they studied: MAKING THE GRADE. Learning to type takes a lot of concentration. Marty Hathcock concentrates on his daily typing lesson to get a good grade in Mrs. Barbee's Typing I class. Cyndi Hinson: Most of the time what I do is look at the T.V. and do my work at the same time. Andy Hahn: My favorite way to study is by doing my homework and listening to the radio at the same time. Jackie Stuart: I enjoy getting together at someone's house, having a group study. Dale Hunsucker: You have to have a good lady like I do who motivates you mentally. Lisa Mullis: HI spend all my time studying while I'm on the telephone. Christi Hill: I enjoy studying with my friends in the morning before the bell ringsf' Traci Coble: I like to crawl onto a big king-size bed, flip on the radio, kick my feet back, and just try to relaxf' GIVE ME A BREAK. Studying alone, Joey Carpenter works diligently to complete his assignments, hoping to get a break soon. Studyingf127
