They don ' t make them like they used to. South ' s students this year are as mature and better motivated than usual. J. Savoia School at least makes an attempt to give students a chance to grow up. Extra curricular activities are a way to provide an exellent opportunity to relate socially with less restriction than the normal school day. I don ' t, however, feel they should interfere with other aspects of school life. W.

The ideas of Ralph Waldo Emerson on being self reliant ought to be pretty good in 1976. This is probably what I would like to get across to students — that they should look to themselves for their own success chiefly. The rewards then will be all theirs. Too many school age people are getting to expect more and more breaks. More effort put into the work at hand and less into hoping for a scaled mark or the like, would in the long run be a good guide for almost any of their pursuits. R. O ' Meara I think education is heading for a period of re-examination of goals and methods. A great variety of new teaching methods have evolved in a short time and before many more are incorporated the existing programs need careful evaluation. After this transi- tional period, I think audio- visual learning and teaching will progress towards less time spent by students in direct contact with teachers and more time spent interfacing with educational T.V., in groups or at home.

DEAN SOUKE Mathmatics BIRUTA SWAIN Lead Teacher — Homemaking CHARLOTTE SMITH Business CLAUDETTE SWIDER Business JOANNE TANKARD Mathmatics JEAN THOMAS Business DONNA TILDEN Office Secretary I think that many students miss out on the social aspect of a school by not participating in extra curricular activities. Sharing expenses with others, whether it be in an athletic event, a play, a school project, or whatever, can only add to the better developement of an individuals personality. School can be much more than books, homework, and studying. D. Souke I find teen-agers an inquisite, interesting, challenging group to work with-. — As a teacher. As a parent, I am in contact with little ones daily at home. But unlike most parents, when my little ones become big ones , it won ' t be 15-20 years since I had anything to do with adolescents . This is a great personal benefit to me. C.L. Swider
