Until recently Randallstown's pro- gram was unique in Baltimore Coun- tyg now RHS is the nationwide role model-the Recreation Bureau of New York consulted our guidance of- fice about starting similar programs elsewhere. RHS Peer Rappers filmed a video tape used in a two-day semi- nar for Baltimore County counselors to illustrate the program's effective- ness. One of the most important aspects of these three services is that they are student-run. Juniors Dina Burt and Alyson Rothberg concur that this makes participating in the pro- gram more worthwhile. Tutors and counselors recruit new student voluneers and arrange the tutoring and counseling assignments. lf they fthe studentsl don't run the program, it doesn't work, concludes Mr. Lynn. lt's Academic Who accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the top of Mount Everest? You may not know but the answer is obvious to our championship Itis Academic team. Last year the It's Academic team won the It's Academic Superbowl, establishing itself as the preeminent team of the Baltimore Washington area. Advisor Julie Cordaro believes the team is strong again this year as it looks for its fourth consecutive Balti- more championship and second con- secutive Superbowl triumph. Returning from last year are Chris Chesnakas and me, Art Penn. Junior Lee Kempler filled the third position while junior Danny Landes and sophomore Larry Lichter are the top alternates. The It's Academic group meets at least twice a week to practice. Many students attend practice scrimmages to test their knowledge or to chal- lenge team members. lt's Academic players need quick recall of facts, fast reflexes, a good memory and intelli- gence. Lee observed that at first the pressure of the TV game is tremen- dous, but as the show goes on the pressure diminishes. Lee looks for- ward to competing in his first Super- bowl match. I think that winning the Super- bowl last year was something I'll al- ways remember-and I'd love to win it again. -Art Penn The It's Academic team will enter the 1981 semifinalsg yearbook dead- lines prevent coverage of the entire year. And by the way, Tenzig Norkay accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the top of Mount Everest. P The TV stars of Randallstown, Art Penn, Chris Chesnakas and Lee Kempler, rejoice on the set of It's Academic after one of their many victories. One ofthe manyjobs of the Honor Society is to assist the custodians in cleaning the lobby after a successful afternoon popcorn sale, as Lisa Bronstein, Debbie Failla, and Susan Carter demonstrate. 5- Mirrored in Brenda McLaughlin's expression is her sense of accomplishment and happiness over being inducted into the Honor Society. Her proud grandparents join her at the recep- tion following the ceremony. Academic clubsf69

Peer rappers Kids are the most underutilized thing in our school, believes David Lynn, guidance counselor. We must recognize the ability of kids to help each other. Hence, in 1978 the guidance office initiated Randallstown's tutor pro- gram and foreign student service. RHSers who excel in certain subjects help others having difficulty. The over 100 tutors must meet sev- eral standards: they must have a B average in the subject they tutor and must attend a two-hour training ses- sion. Junior Susan Gelber became a tu- tor because she feels satisfaction when someone does well. In addi- tion Susan learns more about the subject she tutors. RHS's guidance department also began training Peer Rappers be- cause, according to Mr. Lynn, we guidance counselors are understaffed and there are students who can per- form many of our functions. Some students are more apt to dis- cuss their problems with their peers rather. than adults. Rappers provide this service. Peer Rappers complete 60 hours of training before they receive counsel- ing assignments. Training includes role-playing, developing confronta- tion skills and recognizing and inter- preting emotions and feedback. As ofspring 1981, the It's Academic team - Art Penn, captain Chris Chesnakas and Lee Kemplar-are going strong, well on their way to another Superbowl triumph. Practices for the first game began the first week of school. Randallstown defeated Chesa- peake and Lackey, 510 to 250 to 210. As Art comments, We blew them away. The second game was a nail-biter. Randall- stown's team started with a large lead but quickly fell behind because of careless an- swers. Nevertheless, Randallstown caught up during the last few minutes. Final scores: Ran- dallstown 400, Archbishop Curley 307, Oak- land Mills 210. IT'S ACADEMIC Front row: Larry Lichter, Danny Landes, Mike Lepski. Row 2: Artie Penn, Chris Chesnakas, Lee Kemper.
