Relationships varied accord- ing to the attitude and the effort made by both the parents and the students. Relationships could be seen within the school and were also evident outside of school. From within the school, some parents played major roles in their teenagers' lives. Sr. Scott Bond was a student in his father's class and a player on the football team that his father coached. Scott didn't mind that his father played such an active part in his life. I feel that I'm more in touch with him than if he were working someplace else. Mr. Jim Bond, Scott's father, who taught in social studies, said, We had a strong relationship to begin with. Another example from within the school was the relationship between Mr. Tony Schenbeck and his son, TJ. Schenbeck. Mr. Schenbeck, the athletic director, coached his son in baseball and said, I must be care- ful to criticize as a coach rather than a parent. Parents played active roles in their teen- agers' lives outside of the school environ- Terri Ltmdin et the point? Sr. Anne Meyers points agparent in the right direction during Back to chool Night.

She helped with class floats for Homecoming for three years and supported Jill in all of her sports. We try to follow her all over and do what she likes to do. It's not so much an obligation, we enjoy it. Sporting events were a common scene of many parents. Athletes not only found support from their parents but also from the parents of their teammates and friends. In addition, some students were involved in a business relationship with their parents. Many students were employed in their par- ents' working environment or by their parents themselves. Sr. Eric Haney worked at the Colordo Denver Delivery with his father for over two years. He said, I feel closer to my dad because I can relate to him better as a person and as a businessman. Many shared this same experience and developed close re- lations with their parents as well as getting a head start in the business world. Relationships developed between parents and throughout many aspects of life. And the generation gap played a particular role in en- hancing these relationships, from American Bandstand to M.T.V. 1
