On Halloween dress-up day, Ed Shaffroth left stu- W its if dents bewildered. He put his arm around me and l had no idea who it was, said one student. MW E' H wifi Pi ture Thi With the Swiss What do skiing, photography, and back- packing have in common? All three are favor- ite pastimes of Ed Schaffroth, a photography and family communications teacher here. Traveling is an important part of all these activities and he has done quite a bit of it. His travels have included trips to Alaska, Hawaii, the Teton and Sierra Mountain ranges, and Europe. During these trips, he did a great deal of backpacking and his favorite spot was Switzerland. While in Switzerland, Schaffroth visited two high schools in Chur. One dealt mainly with business education, while the other ems phasized the preparation for college. He was amazed at how bright the students were and even more surprised to learn that most spoke at least four languages. I was very im- pressed with their honesty, he remarked concerning the Swiss students. Schaffroth noted the lack of vandalism and the fact that ll was very impressed with their honesty students could leave belongings lying around without fear of them being stolen. He has made many interesting observations during his travels, so if you're looking for some first-hand knowledge about an exciting spot for your next vacation, just ask.

How often we don't take the time to really know people in our lives: their history, their successes, failures, their accomplishments, hardships. We never see the rich tapestry that has been woven by their struggle to be. Barbara Meyer was a person to know. She was a dedicated teacher who thrived on her work. While at Kearny H.S. she pioneered ESL teaching techniques after the arrival of the first lndoChinese refugees in the U.S.g and was a resource to all in the field over the past seven years. Barbara gave innumerable hours outside of school to help her refugee students and their families survive their early days in this country. She was a loving and caring mother and delighted in the brightness of her son Christopher 117i and the antics of her spirited daughter, Jennifer 1115. She was an alive, thriving young woman to her friend, Bob. To those of us who knew her, she was, above all, a friend. Barbara gave freely of herself and expected nothing in return. She was accepting of each individual and tolerant of differences, never judgemental or critical. She was a true friend, this kind woman.

First, that students revealed an ex- tremely high level of capability. 'iMotivation is high and the competition is keen, said Dr. Zeddies. Great intellectual capacity and so- cial consciousness were also here - for in- stance in the school newspaper. It dealt with very intellectual subjects, things that affected the students. He also saw our school as an Hintellectual hub, around which lthe commu- nityi revolves. There were a variety of hap- penings here outside of school hours, things that went on every night, and even plays during the summer. There were also things that hurt our school, thought Zeddies, Behavior had some' thing to be desired. 'idunior High level was There's lots behind Zeddies' smile, how he described it. Students don't even pick up after themselves Competition might have also upset the chances for perfecs tion. Being ' K... caught in such a competi- tive environment . . . makes winning and suc- cess seem like the only thing, said Zeddies. who felt the necessity of change created ' problem, too. Bureaucracy hasnft allowed change to take place. i'There is a great dea happening in the world that must first be accepted by administrators before ang change gets to the studentsf' This sets stu dents back, Regardless, Dr. Zeddies felt tha' things could always come out for the best You can learn from every situation . . . ' Therefore, we can be optomistic about oui school. Most important, when asked wha' made Henry good, Dr. Zeddies said 'ilt's the kids that make fiti top flight. 298 Administration Staff
