The People of WHS T he building at 80 Skillings Road that students come to each school day Is a building like many others. What makes it Winchester High School are the people who work and study in it. Coming from a variety of back¬ grounds and localities, the peo¬ ple add life to an otherwise empty, cold structure. Without them school would be a little less colorful. Ever-present and ever-watchful, the custodial staff is very much a part of this year ' s activities. This year ' s senior class is keeping them working diligently due to various pranks. First there is the Silly String fight one morning af¬ ter homeroom. Quickly follow¬ ing that the Sachem on the school front is altered to sport sunglasses! Finally, Jailbreak Day Is proclaimed replete with black, cray-paper prison bars on the hall doors and paper letters spelling J-a-i-l-b-r-e-a-k across staircase walls. All of these en¬ deavors keep the custodians a part of school life. Foreign students from different countries are here to spend the year at our school. Comii| fr widely varied cbuhtr dcj S Germany, England, and Egypt these students provide a fresh perspective on how people live in other areas of the globe. Two new students among this year ' s senior class are Mackie Connell of Barbados and Heba Khamis of Egypt. Peter Stahn of West Germany and Enrique Vilella of Spain are joining the class of ' 89. These new students are over¬ coming their unfamiliar sur¬ roundings and becoming assimi¬ lated into school life quickly. When compared to one ' s whole life high school is but a short pe¬ riod. Many of the people one knows now one might not see again. However, each in their way contribute life to this build¬ ing and color to one ' s memories. — by Martin Herlihy CELEBRATING ' 88 at lunch time in the cafeteria seniors: FRONT ROW: Joseph Gill, Mickey Feeley, Welch, and B.J.

N early every student reports experiencing nasty feelings towards one of their teachers. ' ' Some teachers seem so unsympathetic that one wonders if they were ever students themselves, comments one student. Despite some student claims, the fac¬ ulty at WHS is a group of caring individuals. They are always ready to talk with their students about either personal or academic problems. They have attended various colleges so their teaching skills are very different. WHS has benefited greatly from their combined knowledge. Along with different backgrounds, WHS teachers bring many different personalities to the school. Some teachers are known for their ebullient personalities while others are famed for their bare bones teaching styles. Teachers understand (even if the students some¬ times do not) that their main responsibility is edu¬ cating students, not necessarily befriending them. However, among the friendly mentors and the strict educators we seem to be getting a great education. — by Lauren Murray INDIVIDUALIZED attention is frequently available to studen ts.
