Student To Student Student to Student. Let's start out with a simple overview of what they do. Basically they visit elementary schools, junior highs and other high schools, making presentations about the harmful effects from smoking, chewing tobacco, and other drugs. You might be asking yourself why someone would volunteer their time for this especially since there is no outside recognition or awards to be earned. According to the members, there are some very good reasons for joining. Such as the personal satis- faction that you are helping someone Students watch the presentation. make an educated decision which could affect them well into their life. Also , says a member, Ann Grton, junior, There is a special feeling you get when someone decides not to smoke, quit smoking, or chewing be- cause of your presentation. The groups work hard at their pre- sentations as you can see, with a schedule of over twenty-five schools to visit. The group that is most orga- nized also receives a reward at the end of the year, to provide an incen- tive to hard work. They also have fun as they are currently planning a piz- za party to end the year. The group is sponsored by the American Cancer Society and Lung Association.

These returning members are looking forward to another yilar. X The GMHS forensics team has set more tongues wagging this year than ever before. With their ever increasing skill and talent, it's not hard to see why. Since the forensics team was first formed under coach David Shepard, they've never failed at success. This year is no exception. The team is taking home more honors than ever before. Currently, the GMHS forensics team is ranked number one in the district with Golden a distant second, a fact that is cause for much pride. At the CSU invi- tational, Green Mountain took fourth overall with people placing in Drama .-Y -.pg is Q , Y WMV, . al ' 5, interp., Duet acting, Cross-examina- tion, Humor, and other events. As of this point in time, the team has two people qualified for the National Com- petition in Tulsa, Oklahoma in con- gressj They are seniors Dmitry Cher- nyak and Ed Knight. National qualify- ing rounds for events will be held at CSU in April and it's a sure bet that GMHS will have more qualifiers then. Though the team will be losing many of their key people, next year they vow they will pull together to be better than ever. Bear Creek, Watch out!

Outdoor Lab We all look back on Outdoor Lab as a once in lifetime exper- ience. But for a few, Outdoor Lab comes twice in a lifetime. Instead of going up as counselors. It's go- ing to be an entirely different ball game this time around. Each stu- dent will be in charge of ten inex- haustible, continuously mischie- vious, sixth graders and anyone who has babysat knows how hard it is to handle. just one or two. Despite the possible difficulties of the task, the Outdoor Lab pro- gram fails to get more applica- tions than it could ever need. Con- sequently, the competition for arf RHN lvlfllfwi-XifXl Xwf spots is stiff. The applicants are judged by their teachers and an applicant that must have at least a 2.5 GPA and a good attendance record. Those who are accepted will receive a quarter credit and have a lot of fun. The purpose of the having high school students participate in Outdoor Lab is to: UD Provide additional instruction l and supervision for the sixth grad- T ers, and 121, to provide valuable learning for the high school stu- dent. It's going to prove to be an exciting experience. After all, we're all still young at heart. The Hutchinson group.
