WHO’S WHO IN ACADEMICS Honor graduate. Cindy Reisz, has some sound advice to offer underclass- men. “High school is a very important part of your life. Have fun! .. But don’t neglect your studies. They're im- portant too. Cindy attributes her own success to working and trying. She feels knowledge is important, so she works for it. Cindy thinks our school has done a good job at “picking teachers who know what they’re doing. On the other hand, a weakness in our system is peo- ple choosing certain classes because they heard these classes were easy. Cindy feels she has changed since entering high school. Besides becom- ing award of the problems of the world. Cindy has “begun to set goals and strive to meet them. Although she used to be afraid of en- tering college. Cindy, who plans on be- coming a computer programmer while attending Indiana State University. Col- lege is just another step in her life. It is a challenge to which she is looking for- ward to. Sandy Gray says that her friends, parents, and teachers have contribut- ed the most to her academic success, being helpful, encouraging and sup- porting. She feels that the greatest strength of the educational system involved teachers who devoted out of class time to students who requested help. In her opinion, the greatest weakness in the educational system is the grading sys- tem. “People who take full schedules and hard classes should not be graded on the same level as ones who take courses which they barely squeeze in required courses. At the present time, Sandy is not too enthusiastic on going through four or five more years of school at college, but she feels that if she was decided about her career, she would probably be more excited about it. She is planning to attend Hanover College. Her advice for underclassmen is to not get too involved with grades, because high school is a place to learn other things besides nouns, verbs, equations, and dates. David Schaefer wants to be known as a per- son who makes people think a little and laugh a little. He was a compulsive reader in grade school which exposed him to many different fields of interest. David feels that this has contributed most to his academic success. His ad- vice to underclassmen is, “Don’t take classes because they're easy or be- cause of the teachers. Take classes that will help you prepare for your fu- ture. He also feels that the teachers are a great strength to our educational sys- tem because they really do care about the students. David plans to attend Indiana Univer- sity and then return to Tell City to prac- tice law. Presently working at Tell City Nation- al Bank. Teresa Snyder plans a career in banking or business management. She feels that cooperation and encour- agement from parents, friends, and teachers has led to her academic suc- cess. High school has made Teresa more aware of problems in the world. She feels insecurity and dissatisfaction are the biggest problems. Tersesa also feels that high school has given her an optimistic view of life. Kim Fischer contributes most of her academic success to having taken col- lege bound courses which forced her to study, and also having good study habits, because she learned to orga- nize her time. Kim complimented the faculty of Tell City High School by plac- ing them as the greatest strength in our educational system. The greatest weakness, in her opinion, is that the class periods are too long. She believes that if they were shortened, more cur- riculum could be offered, which involve practical courses that will be used in life The advice Kim gives to underclass- Cindy Reisz Teresa Snyder 24 HONOR GRADUATES
