RESPECT! T teacher looks around the room on the first day of -school. He sees many differ- ent faces. As he teaches, he hopes to gain the attention and respect which he deserves. A way in which stu- dents may demonstrate their respect is by giving the teacher 100% of their attention. Right away, the teacher is able to decide which stu- dents are willing to work by the amount of attention he receives. A certain willingness to complete homework and pass it in on time also demonstrates respect for the teach- er. When a student doesn ' t have re- spect for the teacher, he or she will not put an effort into the work. Jeff Zahr, a junior, says that he gained respect for his employers (he works at Dernavich ' s on Boston Road) when they began treating him as an adult. The people he works with are all older than he, but they share problems, jokes, and ideas with him just as they would with their friends. By doing so, they make him feel wanted and he looks for- ward to working with them. His em- ployers, in turn, respect him for his openness, intelligence, and sense of humor. They demonstrate their re- spect for him by giving him a raise and time off when he requests it. Dina Warner looks ashamed as Mr. Dan Hans- corn jokingly displays his opinion. Who couldn ' t respect that!? Ainsley McGill demonstrates her respect for authority as she receives instructions from the nurse during the annual Key Club Blood Drive. STUDENT LIFE

DIRECTION, COUNCIL, ADVICE The staff in the Guidance De- partment had another tough summer, but what else is new? After helping seniors leave Minnechaug last spring, they then faced the Herculean task of making schedules for the school ' s 1,000 stu- dents. Working quickly and efficiently with each other and the recommen- dation forms, Guidance counselors completed the challenge and sent letters of conflict on July 20th. This was the perfect time for them to ruin our summers. For our convenience, they opened during the week of Au- gust 3-6, allowing students to wait in line to see or talk on the phone with their counselors. Guidance was swamped with phone calls and visits from parents and kids. To top it all off, Mr. George Proulx resigned to take a job at Shepard Hill Regional High School as Guidance Director. Without Mr. Proulx, who usually handled conflicts, there was an extra burden for the others. The School Committee hired Ms. Marie Driscoll to join Mrs. Judith Borsari, Mr. Ro- bert Kirschling, and Mr. Marios Ka- coyannakis in Guidance. Summer conflicts were handled with relative ease. They numbered less than 100, however, unfortunate- ly most were for juniors and seniors. Summer hours aided in providing a smooth start during the first week of school. A STUDENT LIFE
