J ' :ua Concentration Remains Key To Every Field ot Endeavor Concentration is the key to suc- cess in almost every field of endeavor. An athlete concentrates on hisfher sport, as a student con- centrates on hisfher homework. The degree of concentration exerted toward a goal determines whether or not that goal is reached. The athIete's attention focuses on the situation at hand. The batter bunts. Ignoring the crowd's reac- tion and watching only the ball, the catcher retrieves it and fires it to the first baseman. This total con- centration on hisfher actions pro- motes success for the catcher, as well as for all other athletes. With the television blaring and a family discussion in another room, the student concentrates on an American history book. The noise is annoying, but the student fin- ishes the chapter and reviews for the test. Mental discipline enables himlher to study without distrac- tions. Thus, concentration encourages success. sl,

New Ex erienced Teachers I-use Strength 1 P A balanced teaching staff pro- vides strength at McClintock. Fresh ideas brought in by new teachers, blended with the experi- ence of the rest of the faculty, establish this balance. Wearing staff t-shirts on red and blue days added to the unity among them. Classroom learning balanced with outside trips to places like the Phoenix Art Museum, ASU's plan- etarium, and F.W. and Associates, where they build miniature cars, enhances the students' knowl- edge in various areas. Lou Ker- by's advanced plastics class built a miniature Corvette as a result of their excursion. The new Profes- sional Internship program, spon- sored by Ann Thiebert, equalizes work experiences and classroom instruction. . In addition, the administration and faculty provide equalization between required and elective classes. If they offer too many elective classes, students might take the easy way out. This could be detrimental to those stu- dents who attend college following graduation. During the last weeks prior to graduation, most seniors know which college they will attend. They view their diplomas as tick- ets to the future. But reflecting on their years spent at McClintock, they also realize that McClintock has given them something else: the strength to carry on.
