Go For It! Do we take for granted the fact that over 80 percent of Schreiber graduates go on to college? Are we blase when graduate Michael Weithorn receives an Emmy award for script writing ( Family Ties. Cheers ). or when another graduate, Tom Stark, is writ- ten up in Fortune magazine as one of the highest paid young executives in America, or when senior David Vecsey gets his article published in the New York Times? What is the driving force behind the statistics of suc- cess? Perhaps, the secret of success is to have goals. Students and faculty are geared to goals. Lifetime interests can be discovered in the art room, in business courses, in the band room, in the photography or tv studios, or in any other part of Schreiber. The accounting students of Edna Eagle put dozens of hours into completing realistic ledgers and work sheets. Orchestra, chorus, and band members trained by Dr. Bruce Purrington’s music faculty audition suc- cessfully at county and state workshop com- petitions. Latin and math students blow away the Regents exams with grades in the 80’s and 90’s. Schreiber Times staff and ad- visor Robert Albert work late into the night to meet a deadline. Mathletes practice dif- ficult problems to compete inter- scholastically. The evidence indicates that academically and in after school activities we do more than just get by. Yet, not everyone discovers all innate in- terests in school. Many students hold part- time jobs in offices and stores. Schreiber is extremely supportive towards students’ other commitments, and will grant a work schedule if appropriate. YES maintains a bulletin board and telephone referral service to match student workers with community jobs. Allison Shulman sums up the value of these efforts, “With my work release, I’m able to get an additional five hours of work a week at Benetton. These extra hours mean extra money!” Pursuit of higher education is encouraged by the guidance department. College fairs are held two or three times a month. Tables set up in the lobby display brochures and college banners as interested students talk with representatives from schools across the country. Students are offered the opportuni- ty to size up Beaver College’s offerings in relation to Siena’s or F.l.T.’s, or Boston U.’s. Availability of choices and constant urging of the faculty help students to form goals that lead on to solid accomplishment for now and for the future.

Passion For Fashion If you questioned any high school student, and asked them what is in style the typical answer would be like Adam Schaffer’s: “There is no set style. Some people choose to express themselves by what they wear, and others just grab whatever is closest to them.’’ Although there is no set style, one would not be caught dead in a pair of dungaree bell bottoms matched with a polka dot shirt. The student whose first priority is not what he she looks like is usually bedecked in comfortable clothing. Hugh Feuer prefers rugby shirts and sweatpants, while David Ratner opts for a worn-out Champion sweat- shirt and a pair of Levi’s. Thomas Egli, an exchange student from Switzerland, notes that “The styles here are so much different from the styles in Switzerland. In Switzerland, the people wear their clothes until they’re dirty. This could mean three or four days. Here, people change their clothes every day. It was so hard to adjust to at first.’’ The “flower child’’ has re-bloomed. Tie dye flooded the halls, whether it be jeans, tee-shirts, bags, or anything else the mind could think up. Along with this burst of col- or, came string bracelets. They are made by knotting in an orderly fashion. It became a silent competition to see who could have the most bracelets on his or her wrists. Catherine Hart reported seeing at least 12 on Katy Oitzinger. Believe it or not, certain foods were “in” this year. Ken Rothenberg’s favorite sushi meal is a California roll. This is a combina- tion of crab, rice, seaweed, and avocado. Health food bars also filled many stomachs. It was not only tofutti or yogurt; many students preferred gourmet salads, accom- panied by bran muffin. Since the general at- titude of most Schreiber students is to be fit and healthy, chances are that these foods will not only be a trend, but will become part of everyday eating habits. Years from now, we’ll look back and remember those hair styles that seemed so normal in 1987. We will also chuckle at to- day’s clothing styles that will seem ridiculous in 20 years. Women in their for- ties now could never have imagined wearing jeans to school. Although we find their at- titudes bizarre, our children might think it weird that we don’t fully accept their wear- ing bathing suits to school! Values, styles, and attitudes yield to that uncontrollable variable called time. Opening 11
