Bill Sympson. Mrs. Diane Gerson was born in Zeeland, Michigan, and is the head of the Special Programs Depart- ment. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in psychology from Florida State University, and her Master's degree in counseling from Nova University. She spent nine years as a social worker with the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Ser- vices before moving to the keys and becoming Marathon High's guidance counselor. The thing she likes most about Marathon High is working with students and helping them both academically and socially through their often difficult teenage years. She would like to see more electives offered, along with a greater variety of classes, but she realizes that tnere is only so much that a small school can offer, and does her best to make the students comfortable with their course selec- tions. In her spare time, which must be limited by all of these activities, she enjoys “The Cosby Show, reading, occasional shopping trips to Miami and fishing.

After a year at the top of the middle school. freshmen are starting over. This year's freshman class liked the iaea of being out of the mid- dle school and in high school, but they didn't like being at the bottom of the ladder. Most freshmen like the Keys' beautiful weather and refreshing waters, and they enjoyed going to the beach ana swimming. Liv- ing in the Keys gave the freshman class limited things to do, but they all enjoyed going out with friends and watching TV. On the weekends they en- joyed boating and playing sports. The freshmen also loved eating pizza, and, of course, they lovea seafood!
