What is the single most important aspect of this school? Grades, of course. What gets you in college, what governs your socia l life, what shows your I.Q.? Grades, of course. Without grades, our school couldn't exist. If there were no grades, there would be little conversation when a test was handed back. As a matter of fact, without grades, the classroom would be just a room of learning- and that would be boring. Yet one has to admit, students are concerned about learning-why else do they ask questions when tests are given back. Surely the reason is not to get a better grade. Students are always trying to postpone quizzes and tests, in order to squeeze in last minutes of conscious learning. W e know that each college sets a certain grade limit, and if this mark is not met by a certain student he can never get his college choice. Sports and extra cur- ricular activities are second to grades.
At V. E. S. grades govern our social life. Without an 80 average, a student cannot live-it-up with study- out. Finally, grades most certainly show our intelligence. Good grades cannot be earned; either you have got it or you don't. College Boards never fluctuate more than I00 points.

The V. E. S. corridors would be silent if grades were not supreme, and if we weren't concerned enough to
always ask: "Wha'd ya get?" 01 "Did you have a Quiz?" instead o· "Did you learn anything?"
