Up, Up Away! “Move up’’! “Take off.” “Go for if”! Ranger brothers Ralph and Rickie said it so well. Urging students to participate, school spirit soared. The year began with the challenge to move “Up, up and away” to bigger and better things. 1. Students are “up for homecoming and par- ticipate in dress-up events with enthusiasm. 2. Kip Kertscher takes a snack break before heading to Super Valu for an evening of work. 3. Mrs. Ditt- berner takes the extra time to help a student check his progress. 4. Registering for a physics class means a commitment to be challenged. 5. Raising the money for a class ring is impossible for some, an expensive goal for others. 17

Question Remains: Is Qchool a Challenge? Should graduation requirements be increased at Forest Lake Senior High? The question is not unique to our school. The issue was on the minds of parents, school board members, administrators, teachers and students more so this year as a result of the study A Nation at Risk. Without getting alarmed, the process of reviewing the curriculum of each department and looking at the scope and sequence of programs went on as planned. At the same time, the issues raised in the study were being considered and steps being taken to upgrade graduation requirements, if needed. More emphasis is placed on science and technology in our society and, therefore, graduates need the tools to deal with math and science. The problem, however, was how to increase these requirements without removing the language arts, social studies, and humanities from a student’s schedule. State requirements mandated that English, social studies, math and science be taught. Music, foreign language, business, industrial arts, home economics, and the visual arts must compete for elective time. How do students feel about the discussion? Senior Nicci Bohaty felt, “The students are taking too many easy classes.’’ Many replied that they didn’t care, that it didn’t matter “as long as I am out of school before anything changes.’’ Some felt that the student who wants to be challenged will take the classes he she needs. As Brian Wolhaupter summarized, “The challenges are out there; you just have to find them.’’ It is certain that increased graduation requirements produced a lot of discussion. Hopefully, if the changes are implemented, they will challenge students as intended. For certain, they will be busier. J The study on excellence in education indicates that more science and math are needed. The question i “How will other areas of the curriculum be affected by such changes”? ’ Math, science, and computer education are three areas stressed as necessary to produce technically prepared adults for the eighties. Some people fear that the emphasis will detract from other areas of the cur- riculum and actually produce less well-rounded persons.
