Students Seek Passage Inspite Of No Through Traffic Signs It is pretty great to be here where enthusiasm is high and new traditions are being established. I enjoy and appreciate being involved during these beginning months of our new school. Wilma Steele (sec) ... The higher level is really nice to work with. The kids are extremely polite. We consider it a new venture to be sending the food to Valley View and we have very high hopes that it will work well. Arlene Stanek (cook) .. “The kids have a real good attitude about the school, they really keep it in good shape, probably because they can have more pride in their lockers, classrooms and restrooms. It is a real nice school. We were afraid it would be a lot more cleaning with all of the carpeting. but it's not so hard at all. George Von-Eschen (cust) ... I really dig all the kids and I dig the way they have all their opportunities. For example, all the many activities in the drama department areas, sports and athletics. It’s really nice. I dig all the kids-well, 99.9 per cent anyway!” Leroy Lamb (cust) I think the attitude among the students is very positive. I feel the kids are pretty honest with their excuses. Right now we are pretty open, but I hope they will come here for reasons other than cuts or bruises-l sincerely hope that they could come to talk out personal problems. Terry LaMere (assist nurse) ... I adore all of the kids and I'm not a bit surprised by them-l have four of my own. I am surprised, though, at the fantastic publications and the outstanding music, drama and audio visual departments.” Phyllis Wagner (sec) . All of four hundred kids found on the first day of the semester that they didn't know where to go first hour. There was quite a crowd in the counseling office! Juanda Larsen (sec) ..

I try to teach my students to read and write better thereby increasing their possibility of deeper appreciation for people and fields and beasts. Jim Garner (Eng lit, nov dg) Economics has helped me to learn more about how this country is run and understand what's occuring with President Nixon.” Jody Had (12) ... “Good literature has limitless relevance, it tells us what happens not what happened. Sue Mahowald (Am lit, comp) ... People, not things, make life. We will determine the culture when we find the human.” Julian Grev (ap his, Am pol soc his) ... “It is my opinion that literature-speech-writing is the most open and universal of the academic disciplines, because it embraces a knowledge and allows investigation of all the values, cultures and aspects of man and his feelings. It is constantly growing and discovering new approaches and insights. Dorothy Rutishauser (pop nov) A P. history is really hard. We have a lot of discussions. but we never discuss what we re supposed to be. Jackie Babineau (11) I'd like to see a Latin program that is acceptable for all kinds of students, and able to adapt individualization to a student's need for group stimulus.” Virginia Jensen (Latin) Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote the droghte of Marche hath perced to the roote ... anonymous ... “You TOAD Larry Stotts (hum. act stg eft, intro theatre) ..
