Sharing sleeping quarters and secret thoughts, sixty students spend a weekend snowed-in at Camp Ponderosa as they learn to RETREAT! When someone yelled this 60 students ran to sign up. As soon as the students got to camp Ponderosa in Larkspur on November 14, their total attitude changed. They forgot abouttheir own problems and focused on each other. The weekend consisted of workshops, slide shows, earth games, a blizzard, and a black out that no one will forget. Soph. Suk Rivera said, The blizzard was cool, because it made it peaceful and quiet on the first night. Also, the black put us in a clark room with 65 people where we just talked. The blackout made living in Larkspur very interesting. The toilets would not flush, some meals were eaten by candle light, and the water was frozen. We had to wash our faces with the water they were heating for hot chocolate, said Sr. Beth Schinn. No one could complain, though, be- cause they were having too much fun. On the first night, student council adviser Ben Bowen shared a very emotional ence in his life which gave ever Mr, Bowen's speech made me see different light, and it made my 1 whimpy, said Sr. Kristie Roser. Mr. Bowen was one of five retreat. I-le said, I enjoy being personal growth that the students go during the student council retreat. The four others were Ron Castagna, Denise Bourg, Rod McKinney, and Debbie Kennedy. Sixseniors also helped organize the retreat. They werelill Gebhart, Kristie Roser, Paulette Garcia, Heather Frost, Becky Beougher, and Kristin Gebhart. All their work paid off. Sr. Yvette Witzel said, I learned a lot about myselfand every- one else that was onthe retreat, and that was the plan. I learned a lot about myself and everyone else that was on the retreat. Sr. Yvette Witzel hile problems trouble all students, Sr. Yvette Wheeler, and Taunya Bain found a humorous way to let Witlel, Cami llibdon, Heather Frost, Gary their feelings out, and share them with each other.

Although honesty is the best policy, some students, for any number of reasons, sometimes felt the necessity to ignore the rules and for to expect as much as they do without some degree of cheating. Jr. Eric O'Maliey The inner pocket of a calculator, the bottom of one's shoe, inside a pair of sunglasses, or simply written on oneis hand-- students devel- oped many different techniques andjustifica- tions for cheating. Some Students cheated simply because of laziness. Jr. Eric Autry said, Some people cheat because it's easier than studying, and they just don't want to take the time to study? Others were so bogged down with homework and activities they resorted to cheating in order to get everything done. There were those students who simply cheated to cheat. Some cheat for the thrill of getting away with something they know is considered wrong, said Jr. Tim Schulte. This perverseness may explain why students cheated, even when they've been caught be- fore. Jr. Byung Kim said, Even though I have been caught before, l'd do it again because trying to earn points is better than not trying at all--even if it means cheating. Students also cheated because of pressure to get good grades. Parents pressure their children to succeed, said Jr. Tom Killeen. Cheating without getting caught assures them a grade suitable to their parents' expectations. Some students shared another view alto- gether about cheating . Jr. Dennis Furbush said, I'd rather not cheat because a B on your own is more rewarding than an A you had to cheat to get. Jr. Lori Schleiger said, 'LI can see why some people would cheat every once in awhile, but when they start to use it in a habitual manner, their education suffers. Teachers tried to prevent students from cheating and enforced strict consequences to violators. But for whatever reason, students kept developing new ways to bypass their education, whether it was by sewing the an- swers tothe inside lining of one's clothes or even taping them to the ceiling. an ,C Debbie Traudl !
