Pnide % c Media Are the Students ' ' Voice ' The media of Decatur Central were the voices of the students. Students could purchase the school newspaper (The Outlook), which was published bi-weekly. Students also purchased the school yearbook (Hawkeye); over 900 copies were sold. Another method of communication at Decatur was D.C. Magazine, which aired every Wednesday and Friday on Indianapolis Cablevison. This was the students ' way of finding out what was going on at D.C. The Outlook staff made many changes from the year before. One reason for the changes was that the graduating class had taken almost all of the staff the year before. This was hard for all of the new staff, but we worked hard and Filming a segment of D.C. Magazine, Senior Trudi Brown interviews a foreign exchange student from Columbia, Alejan- dro Conded. Interviews are a regular part of D.C. Magazine. Hawkeye Staff Row 1 — David Mynatt, Kari Bordner, Vicki Horrell. Row 2 — Terri Wood, Joe Cansdale, Johanna A. Koffi, Dee Dee Gasvoda.

Preparing for his segment on D.C. Magazine, Senior Bud Millholland gets to know his subject of interest. He was the Pet Reporter for nine weeks on D.C. Magazine. learned a lot, producing a much im- proved paper, said Nichole Croft, Editor-in-Chief of The Outlook. The Hawkeye was also faced with inexperienced staff members. We had a basically new staff, with many underclassmen. A major task throughout the year, aside from meeting deadlines and putting the book together, was teaching everyone the policies so they would know for the next year, said Asst. Editor of the Hawkeye, Senior Deb- bie Jones. D.C. Magazine also had to work to produce a 30-minute show every week. Each student had to do his her part for the show to come together weekly. There were fif- teen students in D.C. Magazine. For every nine-week grading period each had an assigned role, such as Director-Producer or Fashion World Reporter and they did 9 to 10 stories for the role. When that grading period was over, the students were assigned to different positions. ?l 34 Publications

A Door to Your Mind Psychology was a very unique class. It assisted those who took it to better deal with the things around them. Psychology classes had discussions over world pro- blems, giving opinions and talking about issues of the day. Sometimes an entire class period would be given to an open class discussion. Many subjects of debate came from the movies shown in class on teen suicide, anorexia, sexual abuse, missing children, and nuclear war. The movie about anorexia was about a girl named Casey who struggled with self-esteem and as a result ended up with this emotional disease, anorexia. The students discussed whether Casey ' s parent ' s did the right thing and also what could have been done differently to resolve the situation. The movie Adam revealed the pain and defeat that Adam ' s parents felt when their little boy was abducted and murdered. This movie brought awareness to America about the dangers of ab- duction. It also brought forth con- troversial issues of where the state and law should get involved in these cases. These nationwide issues discuss- ed were intriguing interest-holders for the class. As Senior Debbie Farley stated, It ' s a fun class and Mr. Rather makes the class really interesting. Discussing the personal analysis questions which are part of the experiment, Mr. Rather argues the answers given. Reading intently, Senior Trudi Brown works on her open-book Psychology test. Students have to complete an open book test for each chapter, as a study aid. Social Studies
