Slatington High School - Reflections Yearbook (Slatington, PA)

Smoking has always been a controversial subject at SHS. This year the REFLECTIONS staff circulated a poll and discovered that a significant number of Slatington High School students do smoke cigarettes, and a significant number say they smoke marijuana as well. Out of these smokers, less than twenty-five percent said they smoke in school. A number of older students explained that they felt there is less smoking in school today than a few years ago, with today's ninth and tenth graders smoking more than the eleventh and twelfth graders. Our poll supports this. The school's policy on smoking has also become stricter this year, with a new rule which states that a cigar- ette need not be lit to be considered in violation of school rules. The Juniors from Homeroom 10 who are playing with the cigarettes are (1st row, sitting) Jeff Bachman, Scott Baum, Dale Beck, Randy Phillips, Jeff Blose, Delroy Seip, (2nd row, sitting) Debbie Butz, Julie Binder, Colleen DeLong, Robin Baus, Beth Craig, Kim Albeck, Brenda Daubert, Sheila Herman, (3rd row, standing) Patty Correll, Cheryl Ault, Debbie Bauer, Tammy Blose, Lori Benner, Tina Brown, Scott Behler, Joe Dick, Lenny Bechtel, Vince DeSanctis, Craig Beers, Jimmy Bechtel, and Barry Cook.
