Emotional maturity gained through group experiences Growing up and learning to be more responsible adults were the major aims of two workshops attended by SHS students. These programs were conducted by caring indivi- duals who realized there is more to education than text- books and classrooms. One of the groups, peer counseling, chose the name UFO, Understanding Friends and Others. The group learned how to listen and how to give and take advice. The Gifted and Talented stu- dents met with other schools at Region XIX, where leadership seminars and guest lectures were presented. Students in this group represented the top scholastic achievers in their class. S 3 1 t f Q
