When thinking about the West class, one has a feeling of uncertainty. Ques- tions surface — History and English combined? T wo periods long? What is one to expect? When entering the West class, singular and unique ex- periences continue to grow compared to the routine of the regular class. While playing 1856 simulation games, one has fun, yet can still learn something about History and English. The games also show how to use QUICK THINKING and QUICK REASONING. They can also bring out the stupidity if one does not think cor- rectly (kicking in doors). Toward the end of the year the game became real when the class takes a four day trip to the Norlands in East Livermore, Maine. The Norlands is a working farm where life is geared around the 1800's. In the beginning, the work is fun, but towards the end it becomes strenuous (especially when it rains). All in all, the West was one of the best experiences the members of the class will remember. 16 The West The only staple of bread was biscuits! A job Mrs. Millett did one morning.

The Working Class During our high school years, spending the buck was a very popular pastime. New clothes, the movies, and going on dates were the basic necessities of high school life. When the handouts from Mom and Dad became fewer and fewer, we finally realized that some drastic changes would have to take place. Would we cut down on the amount of clothes we bought or stay home and watch T.V.? Not a chance! The only alternative was to get a job! The supermarkets, drug stores and fast food restaurants were just a few of the many places where we could find our classmates. A good part of the weekends were spent earning ex- tra dollars. This became a part of our lives during our high school years.
