fm I Qywadaf 0 me in ACADEMICS Everyone had those classes that they dreaded every day, some dreaded English, others science or math, but everyone had that one class they would have loved to have gotten out of. On the other side, everyone had a class that they looked forward to. Some en- joyed the freedom and hands on experience of vocational classes, while others enjoyed the classes that gave them a break like C.O.E.'s. whatever the class, sophomores and seniors alike had some special highlight in their regular day. FINISHING TOUCHES. Senior Alan Barbee and junior Rodney Love put some finishing touches on one of their many projects for cabinetmaking. Cabi- netmaking students produce nu- merous professional pieces during the year. Academics offered special instruction in many subjects that trained students to find jobs or further educa- tions. Through academ- ics, students in- creased their chances at becoming what they wanted to be. These classes helped everyone from the future doctors and engineers, to the future carpenters and secretaries. Because each person who attended these classes had a different idea of their future, academics had a big- role to play in each schedule. TIME FOR ADVANCEMENT. Advanced math students in Mrs. Thyra Drye's fifth period class realize during first semester exam reviews, that it's time for ad- vancement into their final semester as high school students.
