w INSIDE c TRENDS CHANGE, STUDENTS SAME Nostalgia freaks long for the good old days, when school spirit instead of apathy characterized student attitudes. How much have students changed since the days when girls wore bobby socks and boys were greasers? Opinions vary greatly according to perspective. Kids talk of doing their own thing, but students of today are no more individual than in the past. Only the trends they follow have changed, asserted junior Dan Heggi. Involved with students for over 16 years, Mr. Robert G. Kurtz, superintendent of schools, has seen the rise and demise of many trends. “Today, students have a tendency to be more individual than they were before. I don’t think it’s any accident. I think schools in general and society as a whole have encouraged youngsters to be more individual.” TO JOIN OR NOT? Joiner versus the Noninvolved. Comparable to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the compulsive joiner and the nonjoiner occupy ends of a spectrum. Why do some students participate in clubs and organizations while others go home and watch the Early Show? Why would a student stick with a losing team or a club that accomplishes nothing? I compete in sports because it involves competition, discipline and accomplishment,” commented a senior member of the Panther football squad. “Most of the clubs I’m in don’t do anything, but I stay in them so I’ll be there just in case something does happen,” stated one joiner. “The main reason I don’t get involved in clubs or go out for a sport is because I feel I can use my time better outside the school community. Instead of spending my time sitting on the bench and watching the other guys play, I’m working, saving money for a car.” Agreeing with the majority, a senior said, “since you’re only in high school for three years, you might as well get as much from it as possible. After school, you’ll be working for the rest of your life.”

ruin phase elective To set up Borrow a straight pm from your mother ' s sewing box. cut out paper pointer from old Panther Press and attach both to roulette wheel PHASES — ’GREAT IDEA Phase Electives — mention the term to 10 different students and 10 different responses will be voiced, ranging from, the best thing that ever happened to English to what a fa rce. Basically, the Phase Elective program consists of a series of nine-week courses intended to brighten up English while providing a solid English background. “Within a structure, it provides options for kids that they would never enjoy under the old program, “The ultimate winners in something like this are the students — Kurtz. said Mr. Robert G. Kurtz, superintendent of schools. A student offered his views of phase electives, The courses are good if you ' re interested in a class and if you’re lucky enough to get into that class. I think phase electives are a great idea. For the most part, you are grouped with kids who progress at the same rate you do. Also, since a wide variety of courses is offered, it is easy to get into something you like, another student stated. Still another student countered, English is still English . They just tried to make it a little more attractive with their innovations.” Students received a pamphlet explaining phase electives. The course is designed to offer the student an education which will provide him with a sound understanding of the essentials of English and at the same time allow him a voice in choosing courses compatible with his ability and interests. If he plans wisely, he should enjoy a richer experience than is possible in the traditional program.”
