                                             In  order  to  graduate,  students  must complete  four  <se-

                                            mecstens of practical  arts classes.  These  are  classes

                                            which  help students learn,  well,  practical  skills,  like  cook­


                                            ing or  repairing their car.  Whatever tickles  their  fancy,  quite  frankly.
                                            Some students evenly  distribute  these  classes in  their schedules,  taking one or two
                                            each year, surpassing the  required  number of practical  arts classes.  O thers wait until
                                            their senior year,  realize  they  need  four semesters of these classes if they  want to
                                            graduate,  (barb  Walker was startled  when,  with only  two days of school  left,  she
                                            realized that she  had only  taken  three  p.a.  classes,  but don  t worry  folks- it was just a
                                            miscalculation).  What some students don’t realize,  though,  is  how  important these  types
                                            of classes really  are.  Laura Ahl,  who teaches several  different practical  arts classes,
                                            said,  “1  feel  practical  arts classes are  important because students need to know  how
                                            to do practical  things."
                                            If you  are still  reading this 1  am  very surprised,  for this must be  the single  most boring
                                            story  I  have  ever written.  As a  reward  for sticking with  me,  I  d  like  to express my
                                            appreciation  in  the  form of free  money.  Just open  up  Mrs.  Dice s savings account,
                                             A296136,  and take  as much as you  want.
