Speaking Out For Lung lt sound like a mother to daughter or employer to employee talk, but it's not. lt's Student- to-Student. These high school students taught junior high and elementary age kids about the hazards of smoking. hopefully, to help the students make the right decision not to smoke, said sponsor Sue Efting. They showed kids how to resist peer pressure and how to say no through presentation and the example of their own lives. They didn't only do it for the quarter credit involved, but because they cared about the subject they were speaking about. None of the members were allowed to smoke or chew tabacco during the year. These GM students held sixty programs during the year and touched around 4500 kids. They covered the Green Mountain, Bear Creek, Alameda, Golden, and Breckenridge areas. They also took part in the 9 Health Fair. Cris Brewer said, We actually put in more hours than we do in a class. The teachers from the schools visited keep asking the Student-to- Student group from GM to return. Steve Brozovich said to the student body, We'll be back next year and we need your support. The peer teaching of this group was very effective. If anyone has any further questions, set up a chat. student-to-student, in Denny's non-smoking section. BACK: Mictch Smith. Cass Eberhardl.

Ed Knight prepares for an extemp speech. President Pat Singson makes an announcement. Learning To Speak The coach for Forensics this past year was Dave Shepard. Although Mr. Shepard has taught Language Arts and coached Forensics for many years, this was his first year teaching and coaching at Green Mountain High. The forensic team planned a trip to New York and Washington, as well as a number of trips around the state. To pay for these ventures, many fund-raisers were planned, one being a booth at homecoming. The team's president was Pat Singson. The vice president was Carol Bonner. Peter Rolla was the treasurer, and Drew Cozzens was the secretary. The goals for Forensics were to build strong speaking abilities, and to learn to communicate better. Although they had those specific goals, the main idea for the team was to have fun and win a lot of awards. Awards were given to people depending on their scores, compared to others' scores. An award was given to each of the excellent scores, and each of the superior scores. The team consisted of sixteen people, all of whom were enrolled in the class. There were two varsity members on the team. To really be considered varsity, you must have had at least one year of experience. Being mostly a novice team, some of the scores weren't as high as they would have liked. Donna Schoeman commented, All in all the team did a really great job! Gerry Singson poses for a picture.

Survival O The Fittest Outdoor Lab School is one activity that is very popular at Green Mountain. Each year, several high school juniors, and seniors are chosen by elementary schools to act as high school leaders for sixth grade students. Once chosen as a high school leader, one must prepare lesson plans, attend meetings, and participate in other activities in order to get ready for the week at Outdoor Lab. Once at Outdoor Lab, the high school leader truly gets to meet a tough challenge. That is living with sixth grade students on a 24 hour basis for 5 days! During this time, the high school leader gets to teach anything from photography to survival to the elementary students. He also gets to eat all meals, sleep in the same cabins, and participate in all of the activities that the sixth graders do. As one can see, there is a lot of togetherness involved in the time spent up at Outdoor Lab. In addition, Elementary teachers and high school leaders often meet together to discuss how things are going, and to see how the students are progressing. As Debbie Margrave, high school leader commented, lt was great meeting together because it gave us a chance to relax and discuss important issues ofthe day. I also liked the idea of being treated as an adult and having the respect of my peersf' All in all, most high school leaders and the sixth graders come back from Outdoor Lab feeling good about themselves and what they've accomplished.
