On the average, I spend around fifteen hours a week just on newspaper and yearbook so I can meet my deadlines, junior Dane Reese said. Not only do I have to work on designs for the newspaper and the yearbook, I also have to do a lot of design work for various school district departments. However, despite the complaints of friends, students found themselves unaware of the amount and difficulty of the work required in deadline oriented classes. We don't have a lot of homework in choir, but the grading is harder than FISH FRY Suffering from the humiliation of being freshmen, cholr member Jason Booth and others go through Initiation at the fall cholr retreat held at Harambe Oaks Ranch. iPhoto By Kristine Frenkl Playing intensely, senior Jason Austen and freshmen Jeff Peterson and Curtis Shaw march with tubas for a Georgetown crowd.

I make better grades in Algebra III-I than I do in choir -that's ridiculous! sopho- more Andrew Williamson said.

Others recognized the importance of schoolwork, but held other things as greater concerns, like jobs, shopping, or just being with friends or family instead of couped up alone in their room. School is important, but my first priorty is definitely being nice and meeting new people, senior Chris Clark said. Despite the potential for pro- crastination, the motivated avoided its grip by making schoolwork a top priorty. I always do my homework because I really feel that it does help you to follow up on what you may not have quite understood during that hour, junior Emily Classcock said.
