Sadie Hawkins is an early surprise Everyone was talking about itg Did you know that Sadie Hawkins is in two weeks? The most common answer was No Way, why so early? This year the junior student council decid- ed to try something new and have the annual Sadie Hawkins dance in March, a month earlier than in the past. Sadie Hawkins is a time when there is a lot of anxiety and tension amongst most Park- way Central girls. lt seems all of a sudden the most outgoing and straightforward girls seem to be overwhelmed with shyness. This dance, gave the girl a chance to ask out the guy of her dreams. In addition to the later date, Sadie Haw- kins seemed to be different from the past. This year the turnout did not prove to be as successful, A lot of girls asked guys but no one seemed to make it to the dance, said Senior Todd Galbierz. But those who came to the dance made the most of the low atten- dance. lt didn't matter about the crowd, we still had a geat time, said Junior Bonnie Fuchs. Traditionally, Sadie Hawkins isscheduled a month in advance of Prom. This gives girls the chance to ask that special guy to Sadie Hawkins in the hope that he will return the favor and ask the girl to Prom. Viola! Instant Prom date! f, WM, ,,,,,, f if 2 , .'!

The sponsors were Carole Clary, Steve Urbach, and Lona Lewis. Out of numerous applicants, only 30 were chosen. The selections were based on an interview, an application form, teacher rec- ommendation, grades, but not necessarily an honors student, good citizen records, and the amount of interest expressed. Sponsors avoided choosing individuals who were too involved with other activities. The program's purpose at PCH was to teach decision making skills to young stu- dents at the junior high. After extensive training, peer teachers paired up and taught four classes, during the spring, every Tues- day for four weeks, at the junior high. Their training consisted of a three day retreat along with the other Parkway schools. At their retreat the teachers worked for eight to 10 hours a day taking classes and learning how to teach prevention concepts, self es- teem, coping with stress, refusal skills, and decision making skills from experts in these fields. The people who make the best peer coun- selors according to Clary, Are students who are successful, who can be comfortable at school and at home, cope with stress and realize that they can say no. Most important, people who have faith in themselves and learn as they teach! Peer teachers worked in conjunction with - , - -. ' -' ,. .

V Progressive youth, a United Way Funded organization, The program was successful and well worth the time because it taught our Central students new sills and opened up lines of communication between our ju- nior high kids and the high school students, as well as provide them with good role mo- dels, Clary said adding Many former peer teachers felt the best thing about being a peer teacher was that many of the teachers were treated like adults for the first time. Junior Shannon Sonnabend teaches students at the Ju- nior High about coping with stress.
