HOW DO TODAY'S STUDENTS COMPARE WITH THOSE 20 YEARS AGO Educationally, speaking, students today are receiving much more ser- vice since the age of computer came into being. However, very few of our students are utilizing this knowledge. I believe that wars will be fought with computers. Because of the later and the experiences I have with high school students, I see that our stu- dents are apthetic and insecure. There is fear and uncertainty about their future. They care little about what is going on, consequently, par- tying is in essence part of their goal. I don't blame them. Twenty years ago the young were fighting a force battle to make America a better place to live. It takes much to continue the struggle, it takes sensitivity for other peoples needs who are less fortunate ,, 1 ,W N ,. than we. It takes commitment and dedication to be part of a changing world. We must first change our- selves and then we can help others - and get on with the struggle. Dr. Valasquez Students of today are generally brighter, have better academic skill and are more knowledgable about the world and life in general. They are much more aware of the career opportunities available 'and of the rapidly changing World of Work . In many ways todays young people are very similar to those of 20 years ago - problems such as becoming an adult and facing a rapidly ap- proaching independence are not much different then they were 20 years ago. Mr. Wilhite Today's teenage students enjoy the benefits of advanced technology and in many ways are better informed. Mr. Murray Students today have more chal- lenges than those 20 years ago. High School and College entrance require- ments are harder and advanced technology such as high use of com- puters is changing the curriculum and job entry requirements in virtu- ally every profession. Also the Punkers have added a lot of color to the schools! Mr. Campos f ,.,. ' fbi WILHITE JOHN MASTERSON L...- HA Y CAMPUS f vi' ..w d DANA KARNE Y LARR Y M URRA Y DR. VELASQ UEZ 24 COUNSELORS

KEN BENEFIELD, PRINCIPAL 20 YEARS AGO I predict that in twnty years, the son or daughter of Tom Parizo will be the Activities Director at CI. The trees in the center of the quad area will have grown back and will once again look like trees. CIHS will have an olympic size swimming pool, and The Benefield Student Center, which will in- clude career and tutorial services, health center, and student government offices, will be a reality. The Raiders very own football stadium will also be in use. Enrollment at CIHS will have decreased because several hundred students will have opted to stay at home and obtain their education via computer assist- ed educational programs. Twenty years from now, my secretary, Eva, will still be driving the same car which will upset Mr. Masterson. The incoming ninth graders will be taking Flying Ed. and Flying Training , as the mode of transpor- tation will be miniature rockets. Noon time activities in the quad will feature the music of today as oldies, but goodies , and the la- dies in the office will still be requesting Willie Nel- son tunes. Mr. Ralph Gonzales AFTER THE GREAT QUAKE, C.I. WILL BE AN ISLAND. Mr. Grimm The learning process will not change drastically. Therefore, the methods of instruction will not change drastically. However, what will change dras- tically, is what must be learned and what equipment will be utilized to learn. In twenty years I predict that our society will be an extremely technological society. I can envision com- pact microprocessors on every desk, T.V. monitors! VCR's in everyroom. Centralized production centers will produce educational videos. Word processors will assist students in writing, computerfcalculators will assist students in computing. Technology will abound in all areas. Channel Islands High will not change much. Stu- dents are students are students. The schools physical plant will not change except for construction.
