by Katy Miller and Joe Machi Once upon a time, the class of '97 could cook, type, draw, speak a choppy foreign language, and write an article well enough for the school newspaper. After the summer, the sophomore class discovered what their school really offered and how they could expand their horizons just by packing their schedule. Because most sophomores used their previous freshman year as a time of fulfilling the prerequisites for the future courses, they found that there was a wide variety of electives open to them. Of the 22 credits required for graduation, 5.5 came from electives alone. These electives included courses such as art, music, technology education, industrial arts, home economics, foreign languages, and business. Another class in popular demand was Driver Education, which the school required that all students take at some point in their high school career.

rience we had is something I'll never forget," commented Amy Fetzer on the new rule that permitted students to drivewith their classes one time on the Driver Ed. range. The sophomores looked forward to actually getting behind the steering wheel and turning on the engine. Interests thrived mainly through the creative classes such as cooking and art, as most sophomores felt their foreign language classes were too much work. " I probably won't take a language next year because I'm ready to have some real fun," remarked Joe Machi. Pam Williams agreed, commenting, "Art gives me time for self-expression." It was difficult to find any person who felt electives should not be a part of the school curriculum. "Not only are they fun, they are very essential to a successful college career," declared sophomore Liz Derickson, whoshared the opinion of many other sophomores who felt that their upcoming college educations were cause for concern. As the year came to an end, most students found electives to be a fun and beneficial part of their sophomore year.
