HUMAN RELATIONS CLUB promoting productive and integrated environments “You, me, and HRC clearly rep- resents the goals and achievements of the Human Relations Club. Sponsoring activities both for students and others in the community, HRC has helped to promote a productive and integrated environment. The membership dinner helped bring club members together in an in- formal atmosphere. Activities such as drawing pictures of the best things at Schreiber let students become ac- quainted with HRC. Freshmen and Sophomores supplied the main courses for the dinner, while Juniors and Seniors brought desserts. Communications workshops con- sisted of a randomly chosen group of about 40 students from different grades. Through ice-breaking activi- ites, students got to know each other, and everyone left with a greater un- derstanding of their peers. Jeff Greene, co-chairperson of HRC, said that the workshops were one of the most suc- cessful activities of HRC because they reached so many students. Other activities included breakfasts for new staff, new students, and non- teaching staff, as well as the annual inter-generational conference with se- nior citizens. Fundraisers such as a car wash and the candy-gram sale helped pay for the activities. (right) left Greene, co-chairperson of HRC was the M.C. for the HRC dinner. (below) Joanna Fein. Mike Fishman.

PEER COHN,SET .INC raises confidence of freshmen The peer counseling program is de- signed to welcome incoming Fresh- men and make their transition into Schreiber as smooth as possible. In the peer counseling groups, which met once a week during the first semester, topics such as pressures, insecurities, school and socially related problems, and other matters were discussed. At some meetings the guidance counsel- ors left the room allowing the students to discuss more personal problems with their peer counselors. Guidance counselor Barbara Tuck stated the benefits of peer counseling, “The freshmen in my group really respond- ed to the warm smiles and encour- agement of the upperclassmen.” (above) First time counselors learn that helping others can be amusing.
