Free Advice Although we are aware that class advisers oversee activities and functions, we do not alwa ys consider the ideals that are the basis for their attitudes toward our class. Mr. James Phanuef believes his role ‘is to guide and advise the class. All activities of “The Class of ’77” are well-coordinated and smoothly run. The class has developed into a hard working, enthusiastic group, as evidenced by the fact that over 150 students signed up to work on senior class committees.” Miss Ann McCarthy stated that spirit seemed to be the most cumbersome problem in the beginning. She states that “The officers initially had trouble getting the students involved but they seem to have overcome the age old problem. I hope the class will have a very successful, active year and that they will make this year a pleasant and memorable one for everyone in the class. Hopefully the Class of “77” will remember their years at Classical with a fond nostalgia.” Mrs. Helen Landry views her role as a class adviser “as more supportive than anything else, giving guidance when necessary, suggestions when asked, help when needed, encouragement when things don’t work out and praise when they do. This has been an easy class to advise. I enjoy working with students outside of the classroom and I wish I could have had more frequent contacts with them as a class adviser.” ‘Classical is an edu- cation in itself. It was quite an experience.’ 16 ASIANS Mrs. Iris Danforth believes “The greatest hope for “The Class of 1977” is skills training. There are several skills that will be necessary for the Class of '77; however, I feel some are more needed than others. One of the most basic is a valid communication system. This is a system of behavior that enables students to somehow say what their feelings really are, what they really wish to share in order to function as a constructive individual. Helping to build a valid communications system is finding a way to release students to say what they have to say, to feel what they really feel, and to share those thoughts and feelings with someone else. With this skill of communicating in mind, this facilitates self- realization and pride. To develop lasting, meaningful relationships, a person must learn to communicate efficiently. The hassles begin to come into focus 5) Tony Cantakis Elaine Contant Junior Class Pres., Softball, Soccer when young people are not taught the skill of communicating and therefore never get the chance to practice it. Skills that are taught efficiently allow the opportunity for students to experience learning on several levels. Through the use of didactic, modeling and experiencial opportunities, students are now better prepared to spell out feelings and intentions and are willing to engage in the risk of communicating these to another person.” “The Class of ’77” has and will continue to accept the responsibilities and challenges of our society to make the coming years profitable, meaningful and honest for themselves and others.” 1. The advisers, Miss McCarthy, Mrs. Landry, Mrs. Danforth, and Mr. Phanuef, work closely with the class officers to guide the class and offer a helping hand whenever it is needed.
