The Amendments Keosk Informs Students is Have you ever thought to yourself, MI won- der what gas cost thirty years ago? Well, if you have land even if you have notj, the Sentinel staff came up with an answer to your Cperhaps unaskedj question: A list of approximate prices for some 1982 products. So, when you are older and trying to re- member what a candy bar cost when you were a child, this list will prove very worth- while. by Lissa Staples and Randy Udelman The newly designed keosk proved to be a great addition to the campus in the 1982-83 school year. The bulletin building was placed between the locker buildings near the cafeteria. It was used for sports an- nouncements, meeting times, and other im- portant information. Senior Charles Uller- ich remarked, The keosk was important, it was a place where I could go to catch up with all the events and activities. Three members of the 1982 graduating class worked during the summer to build the keosk. All of the carpentry work was done by David Jones. Lance Scheele con- tributed to the masonary work while John Thomas finished it off with the paint job. The keosk was a very worthwhile pro- ject. Now all students have a central place to look for essential school information, commented Charles. The keosk was a gift from the 1982 graduating class. It was a beneficial addition to the campus.

The Amendments Frosh Learn Study Skills by Lissa Staples Each year hundreds of apprehensive fresh- man become a part of this campus. Howev- er a newly designed orientation program had begun in an attempt to help new stu- dents feel more comfortable. Initially first-time high school students were encouraged to bring their parents on the first day of school. This would allow the parents to become familiar with the expec- tations of each teacher and school policies. There was some controversy as to the suc- cess of this aspect of the program. The parent turnout was 60 percent, yet many teachers were disappointed. The parents that came were the kind who would support the school anyway. There should have been more of an effort for them to come, said Mrs. Jan Peterson, English teacher. Many faculty members spent hours orga- nizing the initial program. This program was the first of its kind to deal with the mental and physical performance problems of incoming freshmen. Students and parents were surely im- pressed with the thoughtfulness and caring that has gone into this program.

Motivation in Motion, a speech-commu- nication team also helped with the first phase of the program. They educated the freshmen in areas of attitude, risks, respon- sibilities and goals. The faculty has also incorporated into this a new study skills program. This was designed to teach freshman skills that will better their overall academic performance. The skills classes themselves were taught in small classes and reinforced periodically by teachers throughout the year. Time and mind management, notetaking, efficient use of the textbook, test taking, and atti- tude were among the skills perfected. Evidence showed that the program was successful. During the first quarter of the school year freshman absentee rate had di- minished to 1.4 percent, down from 2.2 per- cent the previous year. Also in the past years the time-out room has devoted 50 per- cent of its time working with freshman stu- dents. That has decreased to 30 percent. All indications have been positive as to the ef- fectiveness of these programs. Parents were a main supporting factor and helped to de- termine the success of the program.
