College is needed but not by some I want to get out of here, go somewhere and work. onths before graduation a surge of senior junk mailv swept the nation with universities and colleges seeking recruits. Society said college was the obvious choice of .plans for new graduates. But many students :hose different alternatives. Students said they would work, start a family, go on a mission or go to technical school. I will work for my uncle in North Dakota,', said Senior Brady Odden. He noted he just wanted to eam some money. I want to get out of here, go somewhere and work, said Senior I ennifer Wisenbaker. She added she wanted to sing with a world-traveling gospel music tour group for the summer and maybe attend college afterwards. I think college is pretty important if you really want to succeed in life, Wisenbaker said. Other students said earning money in the family. Because this nation's armed forces have special pre-college ti- nance programs, several students chose to serve our nation first and then go to college. The marriage altemative enticed some. I don't regret having my family early, noted Senior Kim Wil- liamson. She said she was thrilled with her son Jay and her family was important to her. I plan to go to college as soon as I can, when we are in the right financial situation, she added. Still another altemative that many young men chose was serving mis- service would help for college and a future KELLY SOUTHER...

Boys also leamed survival cooking skills in home ec. sions for the LDS Church. It's just my religious belief, to serve a mis- sion for two years, said Senior David Smith. Many missionaries go to foreign lands3 you can request that on your papers and then meet foreign people and see the different cultures, he added. I think my brother, who is in Austria, consid- ered that. Smith said some missions were almost like two-year vacations. He added the languages leamed can help in future foreign relations. Some retumed missionaries sought profes- sions in their areas of service. Senior Lance Walker, who had done well in amateur motorcross competition, said he was seeking a possible sponsorship by Kawasaki to debut the pro motorcross circuit. After at least a year on the pro cir- cuit, he added, I plan to attend a motorcycle tech. school for mechan- ics like the ones in Florida and Cali- forma. Students said they agreed a college education was crucial in today's society. People with a college edu- cation are more in demand for good paying jobs, Smith noted. I want to be a computer accountant and you need college for that. Tammy Hicks Peo le Seniors

No more one room school houses we've moved into modern times When I started out, I taught every kid in the school, including the middle school students. As it is now, I only teach a few.. unce caps, ink wells, feather pens, and slates of the past gave way to comput- ers, incentive programs, ball point pens and spiral notebooks of the present. . The administration of the school played an important role in how effectively the school ran and operated. I've seen huge turnovers in adminstration, not only in the high school, but in the other schools, and it's brought stability into the district, said Social Studies Teacher Del Turner. Instructor Dave Lewis added, The present administration is really good. This town went from a farming to a mining community. When I started, I taught every kid in the school including the middle school students. Now, I only teach a few. Lewis worked in the district 20 years. Society's interest and support helped the district. The biggest changes I've seen are new facilities. I think that shows the concern of the community with education, said Tumer. The student's education had changed. I've noticed a lot of kids are excelling more. Kids used to think they were doing good to pass algebra, but now we have Advanced Math, Calculus, A.P. English etc, said Lewis. Overall, education is getting a greater con- cern. We're going back to putting more em- phisis on the basics such as reading, writing, and arithmetic as opposed to all the others, added Turner. Athletic programs had changed from types Camera, action. Since Bridger Valley is a swine management. For use in other ag sheep and cattle area, students do not often classes, Vo-Ag Instructor Rex Hamner video have the opportunity to observe proper tapes the local veterinarian castrating a hog. emphasis on strength training in ath- letics for guys and girls. It used to be there were no girls' sports. Now a larger emphasis is also placed there, Dean of Students Charles Keller said. Activities have changed dras- tically. We have more coaches to help out in sports, which makes those programs improve. Keller, a former teacher at LHS, started his career in 1963 as a semi- nary teacher. In 1970 he began public school teaching. He said, Students used to be quite forward towards teachers and still are today, but in a different way. Now the things I hear are a lot different, it's either more disrespect or just more modem. The things I hear now I didn't hear before. This is probably because of the media, music, litera- ture and the things the students are exposed to. It seemed more kids were serious of sports to more coaches. There's also more about getting an gducationt You - E! IH Faculty People hardly ever heard about anyone drop- ping outg it just wasn't the thing to do. Now kids don't want to take the re- sponsibility of staying in school, added Keller. When Keller started teaching, there was only a superintendent and secretary. With the growth in Lyman, there was an increase in the district staff. As the town and school grew, administration grew with it. Now there are counseling serv- ices and special services that we didn't have before. There are now services in school that help kids in- terpret problems. Before you had to go outside the school system to get that sort of help, Keller added. He noted, It's not a one man job anymore. Society wants schools to be responsible for what their children do and don'tdo. They rely on schools more than home and church to teach their children. Jessica Dunn
