As a senior, what would you recommend to juniors to ease their worries during the end of their year? -Dinkleburg

Dear Dinkleburg
Your senior year at Clark will probably be your best year in high school. Therefore, you would want to make it even better by taking the best classes.
First of all, you are required to take one year of English, one semester of U.S. government, and one semester of economics.
Senior English will be one of the most important classes you take because it’s the class that will guide you through the terrifying senior project. Therefore, whether you take A.P. or regular, you should pay attention to and respect your teacher because they’re the ones who will be guiding you through this project unique to Clark.
Concerning the Government/ Economics classes, I suggest you take the A.P. course. It is a great class, and the class instructor, Mr. Doom, is one of the greatest teachers at this school. He makes the class enjoyable, and it won’t hurt to get that extra GPA point.
In regards to the other classes you can take, there are many options: Cinematography with Mr. Stroup, Photography with Mr. Zamlich, Animation with Mr. Over, and so many more.
One of the classes that I really appreciated was Mrs. Newcomer’s Essentials of Research class. Before taking her class, I was completely unprepared for the senior project, college and finding employment. With her help, I was able to complete the senior project easily, I found out what colleges to apply to for my major, and I learned what classes to take when I got there. I am now ready to face anything that may come to me in the future.
Another class that I really appreciated was Mrs. Guarino’s creative writing/modern poetry class. Not only was I able to explore my abilities as a writer in this class, but I was also able to discover myself through my writing. Mrs. Guarino is also one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and she does a great job of encouraging her students to meet their full potential.
However, the best class that I took this year is the Publications class. This class isn’t just for seniors, but juniors and sophomores as well. I look forward to this class every day. Students in the class create pages for the yearbook, write articles, take photographs, edit pictures, and manage the business side of the class. The best part of Publications is that all the students in the class are very close, and that we have become a family.
