Deadline: Two Four-Letter Words Chad Pifer Org. Editor Burningthe mid-night oil, hunger pains, correction fluid, and frayed nerves all have one thing in common DEAD -lines. To survive a deadline, all that you need is lots of aspi- rin, white-out, and a supply of Vivarin, Suzanne Mel- ton said. Have you ever wondered why there is a deadline in one class and another in some other class at the same time. Maybe the teachers are out to see how much it takes to push someone to the edge of their rocker. Personally, I think that the teachers have a monthly planning meeting, to see how many assignments they can plan at the same time, Caroline Breashears said. Besides just having school deadlines, many Seniors have college application and scholarship deadlines that pile up one right after another. With all these deadlines at once I don't have time to write all these essays and to do all of the repetitious questions that each of them ask, Treva Peyton. Everyone has them and hates them but deadlines are here to stay and will re- main a part of everyone's lives. Seniors 149

The Advanced Placement El-QS ffd Staff Beware! It's the Advanced Placement Curse, otherwise known as the AP Curse. This horrible omen is usually. ac- companied by excess ho- mework, fatigue, staying up late at night, frequent trips to UALR, insomnia, anemia, and brain damage. These ac- celerated courses are con- fined mostly to seniors. The major AP course is English. This exciting class includes several readings of Shakespeare, and seniors have to take books home over the summer and read, read, read! They also read plays, poetry, and write FOUR research papers. The course is very fascinating . .. to Mrs. Green, but the stu- dents felt differently. You can get extra credit but it's hard and takes lots of time, Kim Williams said. Curse Another AP course is cal- culus. Mr. Hamlin teaches students such thrilling sub- jects as differential equa- tions, derivatives, integrals, discontinuities, related rates, and other things. Re- member, this is a math course. lt is an extremely difficult course and brave seniors who took calculus frequently compared their low test scores. lt's hard but it looks good on a transcript. lt's worth it to me, Larry Thompson said. A third AP course is chemistry. This fun class, taught by Coach Runyan, explores careful studies into establishing equilibriums between acids and bases, gathering experimental data for titration graphs, and learning the Bronsted-Low- rey, and Lewis theories of acids and bases. What fun! lt's not really hard if you put in a little extra study time. What makes it hard is you haven't got the time, Rusty Pifer said. The AP courses are set up to prepare students for AP tests in which a passing score attains college credit for the student. The one as- pect that may encourage students to enroll in AP courses is the weighted grading scale. The AP courses are very difficult and challenging. You have to think more about what you are doing than in regular classes, Ste- ven Wilson said. The AP courses are not suggested for lazy students because they require con- centration and studying. People with heart condi- tions or back problems should not sign up. lt's a matter of life and Macbeth. AP English students Sheila Martin and Cindy Hope join in the fun ata pep assem- bly and show their support for the football team. ? Seniors 'l 'l
