Because her files were not here, Alice :darks, also a mem- ber of Cure Laude, was not recognized in the assembly. These are indeed unusual people, and busy ones too. Their activities include high positions on Student Council, Student Court, Senior Council, CHATTERBOX, GLEAM, GAg, and language clubs. Ilow do they manage to keep up their gxades and still engage in so many different activities? John says, "! love to be doing some- thing all the time, so 1 txy to .space my activities with homework." Ellen and Alice use little bits of time for studying so they can do more things. Jim saves up time to work on week- ends, while Aelinda gets started with homework"right away." "The most important thing," says Helen, "is to set aside a time to do something and then do it." Hare feels that homework always comes first. Stuart states that he will :always do homework, no matter ;how long it takes. Their record of consistently "high grades has been achieved • in the face of stiff competition nd difficult courses.

Most of the seniors feel that these classes have been par- ticularly good. Nancy and Hel- en mentioned the "broader scope of knowledge" which they have received. Anne says that "you get the incentive to do your best because of the competition." John said that the new concepts he has learned were valuable, but he feels that there is not enough general discussion in the humanities. The "elect 11" are not Quite sure bow they have main- tained their average - in Nancy's words - "it just seems to come." Damaris feels that her greatest asset is "coming from an academic fam- ily and doing a lot of traveling. In this way, my interest has been excited in people and places." Helen, too, thinks that the atmosphere at home and school encourages academ- ic achievement, The desire to do well is an important factor. Stuart tries to do as well as he thinks he should and takes live courses a year so he can "get as much as possible." Anne says she is "dissatisfied if i don't get good grades." John also sets a standard for himself, lie feels that hard work is the only answer, as does Alice.
