                                                                      Compared to Friday nights at “The Mansion”, the atmosphere here at Morton on a Tuesday seems rather serene.

                                                                      The students at Morton need to sustain their efforts throughout the next 3 weeks to ensure a good trimester grade.

                                                                      Mr. Duffy is too scrupulous to be bribed into giving a better math grade to a student.

                                                                      Morton’s science teachers constantly review the needed material to improve the retention of our students.
                                                                        
                                                                    5. INCONSEQUENTIAL – Of little importance, (insignificant or trivial)
                                                                      Determining the site for the Regional game is inconsequential if Morton doesn’t win the sectional title game.

                                                                      Strict adherence to every rule can sometimes be a difficult task. 
                                                                        
                                                                    2. UNPARALLELED — Unequaled or unmatched (peerless)
                                                                      Morton has had good Homecoming spirit in the past but the decorations and tribute that were displayed this year on Homecoming for our Veterans was unparalleled.

                                                                      The directions to Zlotnik Field were very nebulous which made it difficult to get to the game on time.

                                                                      The football players who have a 3.0 GPA or better were exempt from mandatory study hall during the season.

                                                                      Many players in pro sports develop a pompous attitude as soon as they become one of the better
                                                                      players in their league.

                                                                    WORDS OF THE WEEK for 10-10-11 thru 10-14-11 (Group 6)  (Trimester 1, week 7)

                                                                    1. TEDIOUS — Long and tiresome. Dreary or dull
                                                                      Many of the Morton teachers are using innovative methods of teaching instead of giving tedious lectures that can lose the attention of our students.
                                                                        
                                                                    2. DISPOSITION — A person’s natural outlook or mood. Temperament or character
                                                                      Ms. DeYoung’s sunny disposition helps make Morton a fun place to learn.

                                                                      The plan to take 20 credit hours, work a full time job and play sports in college does not seem very plausible.
                                                                        
                                                                    4. DAUNTING — Discouraging through fear; intimidating or alarming
