Hi all, long time / first time here. Between digging around the CWCki and cross checking with Manchester High's website, I think I reconstructed Chris' schedule from senior year:
Since English is the only class that meets for one block each day, we'll assume it's 1 credit and all the others are half a credit. This gives him 4 total credits his senior year, split among 7 classes. Of these, Computer Graphics, Contemporary Living, Photography, and Coping are all arguably complete fluff, requiring assignments like making CD covers. Of the three "real" classes (English, Trig, Spanish II) we note that Spanish II is typically intended for sophomores, not seniors, and Trigonometry is typically intended for maybe juniors if not sophomores.
Based on this, I claim that Chris probably did make honor roll, but certainly not while doing anything challenging.
*Note: It's hard to accurately place when lunch occurred. In Chris' writings he switches between referring to "third period" and "the third class he had that day", although it's clear that he left school after Spanish, and although he rode the short bus, he left at the same time as everyone else (cf Jackie emails). In his "Week with CWC" project he skips from period 2 to period 4 on Tuesdays, which ultimately lead me to conclude lunch was during period 3.
