My Guardian Angel Many underclass students are not aware of the names of their guidance counselor. With the overload of student to guidance counselor ratio because major emphasis is placed on graduating seniors, the only time most students see their counselors is when they are required to complete their new schedules Guidance counselors do more than just make schedules. They help students prepare for college by instructing them of the required courses, assisting in helping to obtain aid financially for some students and setting up interviews with most colleges of the students' choice. They also assist students with various problems while still in high school. The guidance counselors are very helpful and friendly and are always available to lend a helping hand Jynine Young Mrs Powell lends a halpmg hand and a cheery smile to a student as she helps him make a decision I New Kid on the Block Mr Scaglione evaluates the annual (acuity schedule with Mr Thomas and Mrs Kilpatrick August 27th, 1985, brought in a rush of enthusiastic sophomores, juniors, and seniors — but it also brought in some encouraging new teachers into the King family With a glittery smile, these new instructors, greeted their new students Some of these teachers were fresh out of college, or on the road of a more challenging role, ready for the school year ahead Mr Daniel Bonilla, the new assisiant principal was asked why he chose to come to King, and he replied. Number one. because I felt it would be an honor to work with Mr Scaglione I've also heard a lot of good things about the King community Why did you choose to come to King? Mr Steve Thomas: I wanted to thaw out After being in Alaska, teaching for eight years. I wanted a change Mrs. Zaira Cesan Because I worked with the Calculus team last year, and I like it here, and mainly because Mr Whitten hired me (she laughs) Coach Clarence Higdon “I worked with the athletic program prior to my coming here, and I enjoyed working with the coaches and athletes So when the job of junior varsity coach, and boys' track was offered to me. I proudly accepted the position. So when there is a teacher that is not quite familiar, he or she just might be one of the new kids on the block. Theresa Hams Academics 2 3

Is There a Doctor in the House? When one thinks of a doctor, many things come to mind: White coats, shots, medicine, pain? It is more than normal But there are doctors of the mind, nutrition, science, and education. One of these such doctors of education is Dr Robert Harkabus He has been teaching for 27 years, and for 12 of those years he has had his doctorateship He received his Bachelor's Degree at St Peter's College, his master's at Ceton Hall University and received his doctorate at Rutgers University. He majored in science education and was in- terested more in the slow learning students He was concerned with how these students learn and the special techniques needed to teach these students through diagnosing and remediating. When you go to work at a University for a doctorate — you take a qualifying exam, etc. If you are accepted, you do a certain amount of course work (about 40-50 hours past the master's degree) A disserta- tion or research project must be done This can take 2 3 years alone and must be approved and evaluated by a committee of professors periodically. When asked how he was influenced and encouraged to keep hard at work, he replied, Through those three years it was 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration You've go to keep plugging away at it. but it's very rewarding. Theresa Harris What Happened to That Feeling of Freedom? Do you have claustrophobia (fear of being closed in)? If you answered yes to this ques- tion. then you do not want to visit the King High I.S.S. (in-school suspension). In the years past, little was known about I.S.S. It was just a place that a few got the privilege to visit. But a privilege it wasn't. This year, I.S.S. became more popular with the new and improved tardy policy. When a few of the once I.S.S. inmates were asked to tell us of their stay in I.S.S., they obviously gave negative comments. It's not a nice place to be. ex- pressed Gigi Torres, sophomore. You get a good night's sleep, Matt Walter had to say. Bad ventilation, James Caldwell, junior said. Every teacher in every school should spend 2 weeks teaching I.S.S. It'll make them ap- preciate what they have got. Coach Burns said strongly. Theresa Harris James Caldwell and Scott Reaiander show a side ot solemn silence during their stay in ISS 244 Academes
