TEACHER FEATURE GOVERNMENT DOES WORK FOR US Hey, Chaney students! Aren ' t you wondering why you ' ve suddenly started lov- ing school? Well, read on . . . During the 1981-82 school year, Mr. DiRenzo was the coordinator of a special teacher-oriented program designed to improve student attitudes toward education. Under this government funded program, teachers learned sneaky, underhanded methods to incorporate into their teaching that would help us WANT to do our schoolwork and actually LOVE learning in general. The grant provided workshops and materials for the pro- gram. The end result, it seems, is that we all love school. Good job, Mr. DiRenzo! And that ' s not all. Our government has done more for us. Mr. Remias will now be teaching IPLE Government, a course made possible through a governm ent grant. The purpose of IPLE Government is to familiarize students with the practical aspects of government. It stresses involvement in voter registration, political campaigns, and local issues. The course also deals with setting up model Congresses and studying civil rights and Constitutional law. Through yet another government grant, Mr. Erickson has received two TRS-80 Radio Shack computers for aid in teaching a new course, Algebra II with Computers. This course is designed to help those students who are interested in computer programming, but cannot fit Computer Math into their schedule. The course is advantageous to those who have a genuine interest in computer technology and wish to develop it further. THREE COWBOY TEACHERS TURN IN THEIR RIDING GEAR This year, two of Chaney ' s dedicated teachers will leave their profession for retirement. Mr. Cipollone, who has taught English, Spanish, and Italian for eight years at Chaney, has plans to retire in September of 1982. Although he hasn ' t thought much about retirement, he does agree that teaching has become tougher, and he will appreciate the break. In all his years of teaching, he admits that the most disappointing aspect of the career has been the drug scene in the schools. But, on the brighter side, the benefits of teaching have far outweighed the disadvantages for Mr. Cipollone. He has enjoyed meeting up with his successful former students, some of whom he hasn ' t seen in twenty or thirty years. Our other cowboy, Mr. Markovich, also plans to retire in September. He has taught twenty years, two of them at Chaney. Mr. Markovich will miss the nice students at Chaney, as well as the great experience of teaching. He considers retirement a new beginning. To Mr. Markovich and Mr. Cipollone: Thank you both for all you have given to Chaney. Good luck and enjoy your retirement! We all love Mr. Tanoff. After all, he ' s been a dedicated teacher at Chaney for twenty years. At last, however, this chapter of his life has come to an end. He has finally reached the turning point in his career. It is the end . . . and the beginning. Mr. Tanoff, who taught Senior Science and Chemistry at Chaney, has left Ohio teaching altogether after, twenty years of service at this school. He has done so in order to pursue an entirely different and far more challenging goal. He will be teaching math and science to children of United States Military personnel in Bitburg, Germany. How did he happen to stumble upon this job? Having served ten years active and reserve duty in the United States Army and Air Force, he has always liked the military. With this in mind, he applied for the December 1981 at the U.S. Department of Defense. After being accepted, he was scheduled to leave on August 1,1982. ale- wife, Anne Linea, who will be working as a nurse. Before the close of school in June, Mr. Tanoff told the 1982 Lari = certainly miss the wonderful staff and students of Chaney. Well, Mr. Tanoff, we ' ll miss you also. Good luck! d

1 982 - filled with memories of headaches and heartaches; the big and the bad, the small and the meek. Those who looked good and those good-looking who made it somewhere. When Reagan ' s wife made the news more than he did, and picking out the White House china was as big a laugh as the budget proposal was to the Democrats. Whose face was most-admired and considered so macho, but Tom Selleck- alias Magnum P.I.? The tragic deaths of super-star Natalie Wood and super-comedian John Belushi. Pryor on fire made a come-back and made it big. Gala festivities as only the rich can do. The Royal Wedding came into our homes and the British capt ured Americans once more.

The assasination of Egypt ' s president, Anwar Sadat, and the not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict stated to John Hinckly Jr. ' s assasination attempt on President Reagan. More lay-offs hit the nation and in our own valley, many succumbed to the closing of the steel mills.

Lest we forget the smal irough the rat-race. Video thousand solutions which many still have not found, and the Missing Link was found to be between man himself, rather than a puzzling game.

Cowboy boots and leather hats: the domesticated Cowboy (or is that urbanized ?) Whatever it was that kept us together, or made it happen and let us survive, we will remember always, with a sigh, as we recapture, in our memories, the year 1982. ura Skid ditor-in-chief 1982 Lariat Friend- Do not forget the road We have traveled together An d the tears that we shed Do not forget the times We have had And the laughter That we gave to the world Do not forget the places We have seen And the time That was our Dear Friend
