24 Military services try to recruit students during passing period. What To Do Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines . , . they clon't ask for experience, they give it . , , you don't read it in a book, you live it! Sound Familiar? Endless military mail, brochures, commercials, promotion films telling us to Be all that we can be, 'cause they need us in the army. And what of all this publicity towards the military service? With world wide insecurity dominating news today, the possibility of war and military service is very real- especially to high school students. Student opinion and beliefs on the current issue vary diversely. A majority of GMHS students see the possibil- ity ot military service after graduation as totally out of the question, an irnpracticality. According to Rob Spyk- stra, senior, the idea of military service after high school is out of this world. He didn't think that he could handle it and commented that The military changes your whole outlook and mind. g Mike Stephens, senior, agreed and went on to com- pare the military to sports saying that, in soccer you work hard for a goal, but in the military you work hard just for working hard. Others felt they couldn't take being bossed around. Still, some students see the service as an opportunity for a good education or to learn a trade. However, most admitted they never thought seriously about it. Of the seniors questioned about the draft and registra- tion, most would, or have registered. They feel they owe a debt to America. Some students, however, 1don't believe in the draft or the notion of owing something to America. Christine Smaldone, senior, commented, I donft owe military service to mylcountry, work is just as much of a pay- ment. ,And the antifmilitary sentiment is especially evidentin students like Dana Kerwin who flatly stated, Personal- ly,,l'm Ei pacifist. Some students also ,felt the Peace Corp should be given thesameliamount of time the military gets in GM's halls. Finally, Sonja Roemish stated,f What wefneedgis universal understanding ..., I don't know, I just hate killing f s s i , l Think about it. l --l Seniors Andrea Hanak Mark Hannum John Hanover Shawnda Hardney Dean Hamish Colleen Harrington Chris Harris Kim Harsch Debbie Hart Chris Harvey Sheri Haxton Mike Hayes John Hedge Donna Heithotf Gary Henderson Vicki Hepp Suzanne Hermanussen Tim Herrera on-mane-ws Ai YN -t ., A is N I 1 3,3 is r N s is 'F 'K ,NF is it New Q 'Mu K Y. s. , . li li
