Look at those teachers! They're worse than us kids! He feels now that he is a lot more mature and wants to tell others that want to drop out that it's a stupid move. Listen to him; he learned the hard way. Lately there’s been underclassmen in traditional upperclassmen divisions in basketball. For in- stance. 3 sophomores arc on varsity. They are Matt Hess. Lance Schultz, and Jessie Hoinacki. also there arc those freshmen who are on J.V. by the names of Jerry Bartol. Aaron Gravunder. and Sara Sobieski. But I guess with talent like that, the age difference is unimportant. The Emotional Disturbed Program is a new ad- dition to the educational process in our school. It’s about helping kids who have problem adapting to a regular education program and who lack the skills to function satisfactorily in that environment. This is done through a lot of positive reinforcement and is ran by Mr. Bcdnarck. Mr. Bcdnarck is only one of several new teachers in school. Not all are young and fresh, but they are all kids at heart. They goof around and act real crazy, if not strange, most of the time along with us kids. Mr. Evans and Mr. Reich are in the science department. Mr. Dietrich is in the math depart- ment. Miss Kroeze is in the phy. cd. department, and Miss Jensen is in the home cc. department. And most kids think they improved the teacher- student relationships here in school. Last, but not least, arc some of the little things that have affected the majority of the student body. There's the Clay Lambcrton press box. Then there’s highway 49's reconstruction that seemed, to most bus drivers to take forever to get done. And of course the new journalism computers that make it easier for the writers to write up our Red ‘n’ Green’s. Of course there is a lot that hasn’t been men- tioned. but then these pages would all be story. The Mascoutin recognized all those changes we could, and would like to say Congratulations on a new and exciting year. Student Life 7

All of us have gone through changes, some more than others But. nevertheless, changes, whether it be in looks, attitudes, styles, or abilities, have hap- pened. These two pages arc showing just a few changes “AFTER THE STORM”! Looks to some of us are very important, and when they change, it makes others take a double look at these people, especially in the first couple of days of school. One person that shocked her sopho- more class is Jeanne Andersen. Within a seven month period, she had lost 42 pounds. “How?“, you may be asking yourself. Well, with a strong will power she stuck with her diet of regulated amounts of food and a lot of exercise. With the loss of weight, contacts, perm, and new wardrobe, no- body recognized her. She says. “I think that it’s made a major difference in my life. And I like the way that people treat me now.” But she’s still not done. She says that her goal is another 1$ to 20 pounds. Another person that has gone through a major change is Claudine Briski. Literally overnight, her appearances changed. She had top and bottom jaws operated on. She says. “It was fun to come to school, say “HI” to people, and get a reaction like “I know you. but I can’t recognize you.” Then they'd realize it was me. I got so many compli- ments. and such a new life!” One of the teenager’s greatest changes is in their attitude on life. Brian Fcrron has shown everybody how great of a change that is. When he first came to high school, he fooled around, and didn’t do much of anything. At 16 he dropped out. Not long after that, people were encouraging him to come back saying things like they missed him and things weren’t the same without him. The two things that encouraged him were Tanya Rogers, his girlfriend, and him. He decided that he did need a diploma after all, since the only way to become an airborne ranger and to do something with computers in the army was to graduate. He says. “Before I HAD to come and now I WANT to. I wish I had stayed in.” Our all new Clay Lambcrton press box. Jeanne looks a lot happier now with her new look. 6 Student Life
