jk? K0 '0I'6hl'L6Lt0l 5 Betty Schneider Human Relations Co-ordinator Latest on the service team of Englewood High School. are two new workers, a parent Co-ordinator and a Human Relations Co- ordinator. Their work, related in many ways to that of the new school-community repre- sentatives on the grammar school level, in- cludes a variety of activities, geared to build bridges between parent and school, the com- munity and teachers, the student and the world outside his immediate neighborhood. Any of the basic relationships with a school might come within the scope of the co- ordinators - student-student, teacher-teacher, teacher-administrator, parent-school or school- community. Practically speaking, the work will probably be concerned primarily with in- terpreting the school to the community and the community to the school, and in this way help bring understanding and creative initiative to bear on the problems they share. In one sense, the co-ordinators work where the wheel squeaks , talking out prob- lems, listening to what students, teachers and parents are saying, pointing up problems that need attention, getting together people who might have answers. In another, they are the contact people who attend the meetings after Gwen Lawson Parent Co-ordinator school, see the parents that can not be seen during the school day, meet with groups con- cerned with community problems, help in the development of a community voice which will ask for needed community services. Two ex- amples of the latter are: constant contact with the agencies dealing with gang difficulties in our neighborhood, meeting with a Committee on Mental Health which is working toward a Mental Health Clinic in Englewood. An aspect of the work to be developed is that of drawing parents into the school, not only in the .PTA sense, but to attend classes on special occasions, to see problems the school faces by being on the scene, to voice enthus- iasm and concerns on the school program, to take part in human relations classes that may be set up within the school. While the positions of the Co-ordinators are new, much of the work they are doing are an extension of things schools have been doing all along. Bigness and impersonalization of our cities have robbed both the school and the com- munity of the positives inherent in the give and take relationship of a good schovol in a concerned community. Co-ordinators are there to help bring back some of these positives.

OP? CLI16! Pdtltu 0 AN OPEN LETTER TO MY HIGH SCHOOL Dear Englewood, My sojourn here has been the greatest experience of my life. I have trod through your halls of glory and I have cheered you on to victory. I have stood firmly behind you and staunchly against the forces which have sought to dim your radiant glory and rob you of your dignity. Oh, Englewood, you are such a great part of me and I shall remember forever the light of knowl- edge that yo-u brought into the darkness of my ignorance. You have brightened the way and as I begin my climb up the ladder of success your glory will spur me on. Through the years, dear Englewood, you have passed down to me a great heri- tage of scholastic achievement and ath- letic accomplishment. You have endeav- ored to instill in me a sense of values and integrity. You have stood by me when- ever your help was needed. In turn, I shall do my best to preserve your honor and to keep your banners raised high. Oh, my dearest Englewood! I shall never forsake thee! All that I am and all that I shall ever become will bear the impress of your in- fluence and guidance. Your noble towers shall be retained in glory in the chambers of my memory and will forever be a source of inspiration in my every endeavor. When I leave you it will be with best wishes and I shall rest assured that for countless years to come you will continue to impart the knowledge and instill the same high values for generations to come as those you have instilled in me. ,G Sharon Leslie
