Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1980-08-14, Page 18•••. ,77•771,r, - BY PATIIICIA, On the bus Ade °Vet to Clinton last Friday for our last day at school and our • exam, everyone was discuss. ing the exam, the Pigman and algebra. On the way back, the same group of people tented about sleeping In for the rest of the holidays. 'Yes I was one of a number of students from SDHS who took a course at 'summer school to earn a lost credit or " just for improvement. On the first day; the bus •ride over to Clinton high- school- looked like an awful lot of riding a a noisy bus: Once we entered the class- room .of strangers. (with the exception -of, a .few -friends) we were completely lost. We sat there glancing,at a few of the people around,us, as any student does`on the first day of school. Then we'd smile, and say hello to a couple of . people around us that we recognized. As the teacher entered, we smiled and thought to our- selves, "the next two hours better be fast!" Well, the first day did go quite quickly and the bus ride home wasn't so bad. We were beginning to remember some of the things that we had learned at the beginning of the year and summer school 'Seemed real- ly easy. The next day wasn't so bad as We knew the people around us a little more and could talk to them if we didn't undersfand some - Four -letter -winds such as test, exam and quiz were very common now. TOUR THE HALLS On our ten minute break we would tour the halls of what seemed to be the big Clinton high school, with our new friends. We would dis- teei* tweens cover coincidences ' such as one of the Strangers is your friend's best friend or the fact that you used to go skating with the girl across the aisle. We would talk -and laugh and meet more interes- ting people. Mist people looked at the buttercup in, one of the classrooms that was of interest to all. And w -ho says -we -d-Oet-Tiken to interesting things at school? After finishing several tests, most people „figured that summer school was a good deal. Most were getting marks in the high seventies and eighties at first. The English class was reading the novel Pigman and the math class was taking the basic algebra steps. Math and English were not the only 'classes offered at summer school though. There was driver education -class-for 'those trying to get their licence, an English class for, the Vietnamese people who., are learning to communicate with the people around Seaford' and a Math- Engllsh class for thae)going intoJgrades seven, eight and nine There were also science and History classes. Many people went to sum- mer school because ,they were not able to get a eredit this year. They gave up their summer so they would be able to catinue their school work successfully neat year. Others, such as myself, went to school to review what they had learned during the school year so that their minds would be fresh for next year. They too could use the better of their two marks for their school record. ' A QUIET BUS For the firstlittle while the bus ride was still quiet. Bit once we began- to know our new friends betterwe could • talk all of the way home. The 'driver education 'course ad -the Math and Knglish courses only lasted for a ; short time so the bus became • quiet. The homework 'started" ; to load up and the exam day • was getting closer. • • Often people would stop • me on the street and ask me if I was getting "ready for • school in the fall. This was a • real problem for me because ; I kept thinking to myself • "I'm not even finished ; • • • • to pay for lots of new friends, a good education ad possib- ly a credit that you wouldn't have otherwise.

The bus would drop us off at the public school, uptown or any where else on the route. It was easy to see that summer school was well worth the rnoney.-SIO was a small price Happy, Birthday Steve Snell, 16 on August 'P.' Tracey-Siemon, 11 on Aug. 20. Jimmy Roth, 10 on Aug. 28.
