Guidance D eadlines! The guidance office seems to always be working to meet deadlines on everything from course selections to college applica¬ tions. Seniors are often found running to their guidance counselor a few days before their college application is due and hand¬ ing a pile of forms that need to be filled and sent out. Yet, being the generous people they are, they accept these forms without hesitation. The guidance counselors en¬ courage students to talk with them not only about academics but also their personal lives. The guidance department con¬ tinuously helps students plan their futures as well as their years at Winchester High School. The people there are always will¬ ing to help students with course selections, course changes, and college applications in addition to helping them find career goals. The mini-colleges are also run by them. However, through all types of chaos, the guidance department seems to have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for all those who enter it. — by Kelly Dobson PUTTING his artistic talent on paper, Tim Rahmeier blends a wide arry of colors to produce a watercolor display for art class.

Resources T he Special Education department at the high school offers many opportu¬ nities to the often overlooked learn¬ ing disabled students. Irene Michelson, the head of the resource room, is responsible for making sure that everyone of the one hundred students that come into the re¬ source room receives individual attention on his own educational plan. T.A.P., also known as the alternative pro¬ gram, is headed by Robert Carroll. This program ' s objective is to fill in gaps caused by behavioral or truancy problems, and to provide a caring atmosphere for students. All of the administrators agree that a great deal has been accomplished with respect to the special needs curriculum but they feel there is still more to do. With the sup¬ port of both students and teachers, on the inside and on the outside, the special edu¬ cation program may become even more successful than it has been in the past. — by Lauren Murray SUSAN Valbuena uses her time wisely, at the end of the period she gets a head start on her difficult of busi¬ ness homework.

Arts O ften overlooked by the students, the arts are sometimes deprived the true credit they deserve. Just as important as any other subject, Art in¬ vokes an inner creativity. Just as English is to compositions. Art is to expression into material medium. Art is not the only choice. There ' s also Industrial Arts, Music, Home Economics, Humanities, and the Business. Now with the high school ' s expansion of options, there is something for everyone. To some it ' s just, What ' s the difference? But it is an excellent way to express your innerfeelingsand still getsomecreditfor it. Somewhere, someone has gone through great grievances to bring the students what we deserve. What we must all remember in the end is that no matter what we are all different and we all have our own form of art. — by Kent Matsueda RENEE Lacascia and Erin Hartigan create modern art.
