Noticing changes in education Many changes took place in the late 70 ' s and early ' 80 ' s that really changed the teaching profession. In those years, fewer and fewer high school graduates entered college to major in education. Most would enter professions such as computer programming, engineering, medicine, or law. The biggest reason for the changes was due to the fact that those careers had a higher salary than that of careers in education. Martha Karvoletz, NEA president, remarked, In 1981, Missouri ' s per pupil expenditure was $350 below the na- tion al average. Now we are $650 below. Also in 1981, the average teacher ' s salary ranked 33 in the nation and was $2000 below the national average. Now the ranking is the same but we are be- hind by $3600. However, the salary that a teacher received was not the only change.

Fashionable is Wliat it ' s all about The styles at Warsaw High School were evi- dent that the times were changing. When a poll was taken the results were far from close. The categories of the poll were fashionable which ranked first, then in order came casual, preppy, athletic, country, tough and the last category chosen was the businesslike style. Lori Wolfe, senior, stated, I like to dress casual because it ' s more comfortable and it ' s the only thing I can afford. Rusty Callister, junior, replied, I like casual because they shrink to fit. Lenora Retherford, senior, stated, It ' s fun to dress in the latest fashions, just to watch people ' s reactions to them. Michelle McGhee, junior, replied, Fashionable is the best because I like to be up with the times and to be different than anybody else. I like to make a fashion statement. Senior, Shirl Taylor stated, Casual because I don ' t like to stand out in a crowd. Wayne Jackson, senior, stated, Casual be- cause it seems more comfortable. Jason Gronewdid, junior stated, Preppy be- cause I like to show off my true identity. Tracy Martin, junior, repJied, I try to be fashionable, because I like to be in the latest styles and look nice. Randy Johnson, senior, shows off his country style. Photo by t aia Hash
