As one student remarked, The thing I enjoyed most about PEER is oil the close friendships I mode, and shoring my feelings with the group. This wos the second year of PEER. A special shortened mod schedule wos adopted once o cycle to allow the groups to meet together for one hour. Each group of approximately six to ten students were under the direction of one of the nine teachers trained os PEER counselors at o special workshop. The groups become closer os the year went by. Most groups held special activities outside of the classroom discussion periods. Several of the groups spent a Sunday afternoon or the movies ond ployed miniature golf. One group chose to eor together or o restaurant, and several of the groups closed the year with o simple picnic in the pork. Senior Peer, group members FRONT: Julie Polocek.
