ALWAYS ON THE RUN Some seniors have looked beyond part-time work and have already decided on their future careers Feeling that the country will always need a military, they have committed themselves to spending some time in one of the armed forces. Excitement is the reason that Paul Sa-lone joined the National Guard He also listed the money and character building opportunities as other reasons and said his ultimate goal is to be commanding officer of the 1st 108th Private E-2 Mark Meaden is also a member of the Guard Meaden, who had training in 1982, returns this summer for individualized instruction He hopes to make a career out of the Armed Forces. September of 1982 was when Ed Barber took his oath for the Army A trainee in Equipment Operations and Parts Specialist, he will receive up to $10,000 for college. If he still likes the Army after his first two years, Barber will re-enlist Dennis Buchholz joined the Army because it had the kind of job he wanted After he is trained as a Motor Transport Operator, he hopes to get a good job when he is discharged Buchholz commented, The training is for free and I'll get good benefits Two weeks after graduation, Scott Krone will start his basic training in the Army Having signed up because he feels he ' 'should serve his own country,'' Krone will be paid for going to school in the service. On July 28, Joe Healy will leave for Lack-land Air Force Base Healy decided on this branch because it has a lot of programs that will benefit him and his wife Paid vacations, travel, and his education are a few of those benefits.

Future servicemen (clockwise) Barber. Meaden, Salone. and Krone discuss their career plans When I decided to run for Student Representative to the Board of Education, I was not quite sure what I was getting into. Like most people my age, I had never attended a Board meeting, so I was uncertain just what to expect. I soon discovered that the Board of Education is a very important part of the school system, making decisions from the hiring firing of personnel and the choosing of textbooks on up to planning a budget for the upcoming year. Although I don’t have a vote on any issues, I have been asked students1 opinions and reactions to such matters as the cancelling of the fall play and the resoddmg of Loman Field During the meeting, lam given time to tell of happenings here at the high school as well as the athletic and scholastic accomplishments of the students. I consider my experience as a Student Representative to the Board worthwhile and feel lucky to have the opportunity to represent the students' interests Julie Rice 6 Studenl Life

Lori Rogers takes a different approach to the pressure problem, she just tries to avoid going to classes she does not like What is the most relaxing position in school? Most students seem to favor the slouch But, when Lisa Liberio relaxes. she goes all out: I sleep in American History I Outside methods of relaxation vary. Junior Gayle Budgar sleeps Val Coleman sits down and listens to Gospel music. Barb Borsa relaxes in her room while listening to music. On the other hand. Karen llac-qua would rather be out on the open field cross country skiing as an outlet for daily tension. Sophomores and motorcycle enthusiasts Kyle Mattice and Pat McLaughlin relieve the daily grind in the excitement of racing through the sand pits. Both agree that their method of relaxation is very expensive, considering not only the purchase of the bike but also the spare parts Although McLaughlin has never raced his Suzuki, Mattice tried his luck and finished 12th out of a field of 24 Another way to forget the tension of tests and homework is available at the Rec Complex Last winter many GHS students joined the General Hockey Team.
