 Board Rep Annual procedure of the Board of Trustees is to select one student to represent all students in the Shasta Union High School District. LORI ENDRES, 1977 representative, was one of the first persons chosen from Enterprise. As liason between the school board and students, Endres commented, “The thing that probably has impressed me the most about serving on the board has been the warm reception I've received from the board members. I’ve found that they are all really nice, open people doing a thankless job involving hours “and hours of discussion on each item. They’re expected to perform miracles ith a limited supply of money and release everyone with each decision. The amore I see of this government in action, dthe more I can appreciate the fantastic opportunity we have in our country to make our own decisions. And the more dean imagine one of us up there serving ■on the board some day.” s Champ “The little man with the big punch,” LOUIS SANTORO, began his promising boxing career nine years ago. Rugged training, including three ‘ours of work outs and three miles of ping, five days a week, are essential or Santoro to get into condition for a bht. Training has paid off for Santoro. Js victories include four “Best Fighter jjthe Night trophies and two “Fight of Night awards. He has also placed oond in the Seven States Golden ■ ve Tournament three times. In a r cent fight at the Saraha Club in Las as- Santoro won four of five fights. 1 enjoy being able to know and to I can beat a person on a °ne-to-one basis,” he said. folks MARY NASH AND ISAAC SCHULTZ Coach Jim Needing an experienced person to aid in coaching, Shasta College Football Coach Leon Donahue called on Enterprise PE teacher JIM SCHWERDT. Wanting to coach football anyway, Schwerdt was “satisfied and pleased” to fill this position. Schwerdt worked with offensive backs and receivers in his job as assistant coach. His job gave him an opportunity to work with several former EHS athletes now playing for the Knights. Hee Haw celebrity Jana Greif made national headlines for her fiddle championships and controversial marriage to Buck Owens. A former student of Greif, JEANETTE BEYER, is now making a name for herself and her fiddle playing. Beyer started fiddling in the seventh grade when a friend asked her to join the orchestra class taught by Greif. In 1976, she won the California Junior State Championship in Fresno. She has been in numerous other competitions, traveling as far as Nebraska. “I have a lot of fun and it’s a challenge to see how well I can do. I enjoy meeting new people while I’m competing,” commented Beyer. Horse Woman “Being raised on a farm is an excellent place to learn horsemanship,” according to MARY NASH. Nash began her formal training in English riding at age ten from a local instructor. She spent three years gaining experience by competing in local shows. In addition, Nash spent a summer under the constant supervision of a professional instructor where she learned more about riding and became “quite proficient in stall cleaning.” She advanced from local shows to competitions throughout California, Oregon and Nevada. Her most pres- tigious awards include a Nor-Cal championship and an American Horse Shows Associate Medal. Nash enjoys competition and the “feeling of exhilaration when you know you’ve accomplished what you set out to do.” Cleaning stalls and getting up at 3 a.m. to ride in rain or shine are some of the less appealing aspects to riding says Nash.

wsejp© Family Planning, Inc., and its role in Shasta Union High School District classrooms kicked off a controversy in the fall. Concerned parents, teachers, community members at large and students debated the issue at length. A final decision on Family Planning’s activities in local high schools was postponed, pending results of a grand jury inquiry. I teach social psychology, an elective class open to all students. I am proud of this unit of instruction titled Human Sexuality that has evolved over the past years. I was first motivated to teach this class as a result of students' repeated requests for information about their own sexuality. Students seek answers to questions openly and honestly, and I feel that my entire career is directed toward helping young people in their quest. Students help to select the topics studied in this class and often help to arrange for guest speakers. Students help to determine the depth of inquiring into a topic. I facilitate their search for information by discussing the topics with them and offering suggestions of the possible community resources available that may provide information on their questions. The result of the process has been to enrich the students' exposure to include as many points of view as available in order for them to make responsible decisions regarding their own behavior. Guest speakers have included ministers, attorneys counselors and psychologists speaking on various aspects of human sexuality. The resource speakers provided students with current, and accurate information, as available. Students have responded enthusiastically with questions that often require more background training and experience than I have to offer. I do not have the expertise that the community resource speakers possess collectively. I have had professional training recently in the area of human sexuality but feel that I cannot stay abreast of all the changes. Therefore, I am hoping to continue to call upon outside speakers. Family Planning speakers do not encourage any point of view except, Don't have a baby, unless you want it and have planned for it.” They don't advocate abortions or promiscuity. Please consider my comments as representative of one teacher involved in preparing and presenting lessons about human sexuality and other psychological concepts related to family living. It is difficult to say in a few words what I think about Family Planning. Inc., with all that has been said before the Shasta County Board of Supervisors and the Grand Jury. If it all could be summarized, it comes down to local control. For one, it placed the county in a bad situation when the county had no say about policy, procedures nor personnel used by FPI, but the county was liable for damages if a malpractice suit were brought against the county. Another problem was, who oversaw FPI? The citizens who met with the representatives of the evaluation team which HEW selected were told that there had never been an on-site evaluation in the seven years of FPI until the issue of FPI's role in the community was questioned. When the board of supervisors evaluated FPI in August of 1977, the county realized that there was no local supervision and so they voted unanimously for a condition approval of the FPI funding with local control. FPI did not want the conditions, so the supervisors allowed only a short interim funding until the investigation was completed. The supervisors’ vote was not against a pregnancy prevention program since the county would have put FPI under the direction of the county health department. The county would receive funds from the same sources from which FPI obtained them. The controversy in the school district had nothing to do with free speech and academic freedom. FPI is a private corporation funded with public money. No organization, public or private, should be given an audience in a public school which has the following problems: FPI was under investigation by the Shasta County Grand Jury as well as several agencies of the state and federal governments for many allegations. FPI would not have received continued funding if it could not clear itself. I was dismayed when the school board failed to temporarily suspend FPI's presentations with so many things unresolved. Putting the problem into perspective, suppose that the safety of a school bus were in question. I am certain that the school board would not permit such a bus to run until the matter were investigated. viewpoint 5
