Roy Gilmore Diane Heiken: ls this question designed to make us feel old and out- dated? Well, it won't work! We had cars, Friday and Saturday nights, drive-ins, movies, jazz festivals, rock concerts, pizzas, and even beaches. Pastimes haven't changed-only teachers-they've gotten better! Clark Hunter: Today's students are more informal, more distracted by one variety of attractions in today's complex world. They are more tolerant of other races, nationalities. They are better informed on a variety of subjects. Patricia jellander Tom Lee Daniel Pry: I would like to see a present program tLetterman's Club? become more active. I would like to see lettermen using their in- fluence in constructive school and community service projects. Athletes are especially admired by young boys and could have a very positive effect on their lives by taking fatherless boys to ath- letic events, boys' clubs, etcl: and setting good examples. Too often, they tend to underestimate their influence. james Scarpino Rick Scott: I think students are REALLY different today, When I was in school we were concerned about our education. We were dedi- cated to sports and youth organizations. Girls, parties and s- never entered our minds. Why, I can remember when a walk to the li- brary and a good session of studying was all one needed to be hap- PY- lohn Uelmen: Students of today seem more sophisticated but less sensitive, smarter but less wise, more assertive but less polite, sexier but less romantic. But we're all the same, more or less.

In a num- ber of the classes students simulated the roles of people from another cul- ture, period of time, or even the pres- ent, and the students learned by re- enacting the situations. In Sociolo y, students surveyed values and lifestyges through interviews and observations of people in our community. Anthro- Zi, . lit pology classes studied the forms and variations of worldwide cultures and from given artifacts the classes tried to relate them to a culture. 79 Mr. Crouch and Carol Annese make his- toryff at N.P.H.5.! 20 Mrs. Heiken collects papers with her eyes closed-she's afraid of what will turn up. 27 Mr. Coffman uses body language to get his point across.

it 1 Ken Barone: Glad to see there is no longer four lunch periods. This practice had a very disruptive influence on the education of our stu- dents. 2 Judy Beck: Adolescence is difficult no matter what period of time it is experi- enced. In search for their identities teenagers during my high schoo years and those of today share many more commonalities than differences. However, as our world becomes ever more technical and complicated, more pressures, problems and demands are faced by today's young peopleg often with less means of coping with them. ,.
