Too Many Classes? This year marked the beginning of a new concept in education: SEVEN CLASSES! The act called for the addition of another class to be packed into the already packed day. The thought of having another class that would give the students homework was not too far from deep depression. The kids felt that six classes a day the previous years was pretty heavy! They hadn ' t seen anything yet! Many kids just had five solids, but the more studious students had had six soHds. This year everyone had at least six classes to contend with, and the more diligent ones went for it and tried to tackle seven. When asked what their feelings were on the subject, students made the following com- ments: Junior Brad Bowditch: It stinks, it ' s just too long. It won ' t last. Junior Schely Gerbers: It ' s long and tire- some, the goo d part is that some classes are a little shorter than others. Senior Christy Meek: I Hke it. It ' s the first year that I ' ve been able to take six solids with a study hall. Sophomore Robin Hockemeyer: I think it ' s stupid! Seven Period Itch 14

Time To Break Away Looking for a place to have fun and relax? Get away from it all? With the seven period day, Woodlan stu- dents were under a lot more stress than the previous year. It was important for them to escape and break away, just to get away from it all. With extra homework and pres- sure from friends, family, and teachers, it got to be quite difficult to keep up with every - thing. There were a lot of places to go and relax after school. Given a survey, the Warriors picked the Glenbrook Mall as the best place to get away. The next best places were 2) parties, 3) Shoaff Park, and 4) Pizza Hut. Activities like basketball, football and cheer - leading practices were other popular after school activities. When asked how she felt about her after school activities, cheerlead- ing and basketball, Trish Baker said, They ' re hard work but I guess it ' s all worth it. Senior Tracy Yerks, who is a basketball player, said, It ' s a lot of work, especially when you don ' t feel like practicing.
