ireshman's year filled with introductions. Freshmen must really get tired of ie word introductory. Unless he is ole to place out of a few courses, a ieshman's academic year is filled ith introductions, surveys and basic tills. The quarter system brought E-hquired ninth grade courses in sci- ce, English and physical educa- on. One physical science teacher, Mr. . W. Carter, approves of the pro- ram because he feels that it gives .udents a chance to try out more asses than before. After taking ttroduction to Physical Science, iey are more enlightened as to hat they want to study next in the 'ea of science. Orientation to Language Arts, tummonly called OLA, emphasizes e basic skills of grammar and lunctuation that freshmen need in e more advanced English ourses. The introductory P.E. course is Eproved of by Ms. Brenda Teagar- n because it teaches the students few of the basic rules and helps o determine their interests. Freshmen often question the value f them, but the introductory courses re worth the effort because they il Mark Romero Lorinda Rorex Michon Rosner Fflenda Rutland Mary Ann Salazar Eveli Salinas Tami Sherrod Lynn Short Steve Silva help determine the student's future courses.

When you walk into a freshman advisory, you might see one student speaking to the others or conducting games or even holding a party. That is how ZAP works, the Zero Attrition Project that was started two years ago to ease the transition from Jun- ior High to High school as Counse- lor Vivian Ward said. The project is based on the idea of working on a one-to-one basis with freshmen who need help. Upper- classmen volunteer to devote their time to meeting with a freshman advisory once a week. One of ZAP's main objectives is to get freshmen excited about school and to keep them that way. ZAPPER Jennifer Tennison thinks it's really a good program and a lot of fun. You get to relate with the freshmen. This type of relating has made the sharp division between freshmen and the rest of the school much less obtrusive than in the past. I am pleased because ZAP keeps the ninth grades in check: they're ter- rific, said Mrs. Paula Barnett, a Latin teacher. A few teachers feel less positively at ut the project, how- ever, no one see :is to dislike ZAP. Mr. Thomas i.'3l'll'l8lT3, English teacher, said that it's a very special thing to take a bunch of strangers and get them involved in some- thing. ZAP is sponsored by three counse- lors: Mr. Chuck Borgeson, Miss Ann 'Zucker and Ms. Vivian Ward. Whatever opinion you have of ZAP, their success is obvious. Freshmen are going to advisory, ZAPPERS are still welcome, and freshmen are find- ing their own place at Crockett. freshmen 197 by Carolyn Foote, Joyce Hain V Jim Sturm
