Who goes and who stays?
By MICHELLE WALL What is R.1.F.? The letters simply stand for reduction in force or cutting down in staff and administration to compensate for low student enrollment or reduced state funding Who goes and who stays’ What considerations have to be weighed before a decision can be made? What separates a good teacher from a bad teacher’ What makes a good teacher? When several Wawasee students were asked this question, the opinions ran something like this. Senior, Desiree Neibert thinks that a teacher who has understanding. is willing to take the time to answer questions, lets the students know whrt is expected of them and has a sense of humor is definitely a good one. Junior. Kathy Hoover adds that compassion and acting like a human makes a teacher more tolerable. Senior, Dinah Stieglitz says that a teacher who can get the students involved, has a personal friendliness in and out of the classroom and sets good standards and examples is truly beneficial to the students. Junior, Bernie Conley and Senior, Heather Impey both agree that a teacher who sticks to their material and understands it is a good one. But along with all these

Deb Bartow 'Miss Congeniality' By KIM McKIBBEN Deb Bartow, a senior at Wawasee High School, won the “Miss Congeniality” award and a certificate for being an outstanding entry, when she competed in the “Miss Indiana" pageant March 1, at the Hellenic Cultural Center in Merillville Deb stated, "I entered the contest not expecting to win anything, but to just have a good time ” The contest took place all in one day, with a rehersal in the morning, lunch, and then the pageant itself Hollie Dennis, of Fort Wayne, was awarded the title of “Miss Indiana Mr Terry Iden. teacher at Wawasee, asked Deb to be in the pageant, because he knows a lady who helps run the contest and asks Mr Iden to pick a girl every year. Deb came out very much a winner in the contest, with the support of her parents and her sponser Robert McNary, of Laketronics. Deb went on to say. “If anyone ever has a chance to be in a pageant, do. because it is a very rewarding experience and you get to meet lots of new people ”
good points, the bad traits can t be overlooked. A few disadvantages that all students agreed upon were a teacher who won't listen, lacks personal interest in the students, doesn’t know their material, won’t cover the homework assigned, and treats the students like children. Many teachers who were posed with the same questions came back with similar replies, but their opinions definitely varied when asked their views of R.I.F. Some think that it is necessary in order to keep a quality staff on hand, others feel that it should be used only as a last resort, and still others feel that the reduction should take placy in the administration. \ Who has the finaMsay? That's where the R I.F.t Committee comes into play. ThtLcetomittee is made up of Mr. Don Arnold acting as an ex-official; with the non-voting members consisting of Donn Kesler. Wawasee. Charles Haffner, Syracuse; Richard Long, North Webster. The voting members are Michael Neff, Wawasee; Ranald Carmichael, Milford; and Noreta Mort of Syracuse. During the fourth week of March, registration can be determined, then the results will be turned over to the committee for the final decision.

According to the Chicago Tribune Magazine article, the first soap opera was brought out by a Chicagoan. Irna Phillips, in 1930 and was entitled. “Painted Dreams." "Soaps Lure Male Viewers”, an article by Hank Newer in the November 1980 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, reveals that . some stereotypes still remain today as much as they did when soap operas first began. Some of these remaining stereotypes are: restless spouses, disease-afflicted protagonists, a preoccupation with "true love” and faithless friends. “However, now the shows are using sensational effects hitherto limited to the movies A King Kong-like ape materializes in Ryan’s Hope’. April Scott (actress Terry- Davis) in the long-running ‘The Edge of Night’ possesses the ability to prophesy the future. A terrorist rampages in ‘Search for Tomorrow.’ A little-known poison is administered in ’Another World.’” What causes all this fascination in the world of soaps 0 There are many different views that are taken, but they all share one common ideal Daniel Cohen.

I By ROB SCHUTT CYNDI CLEVER Do you think you only have one dream a night and that dreams are just an insignificant fantasy? Well, if you do, then you’re wrong. Studies show that people dream four or five times each night and dreams can help you solve your everyday problems. The reason you don’t remember your dreams is because within ten minutes after your dream is over, it starts.to fade from your memory. According to the book “Sleep and Dreams", the quicker you are awakened the better you recall details of the dream For instance. if you were dreaming and your alarm went off you would remember your dream more easily than if you were to wake up more Slowly. According to the book “Theatre of the Night", exciting dreams are most easily recalled. When you awake the next morning after having an exciting dream you may feel keyed up or somewhat
'Labels' drive most successful ever
Robert D Hamman. Principal of Syracuse Elementary School, announced this year s collection drive for the ‘Labels for Education* Program was the most successful the school has had during the seven years of participation. With the sponsorship and assistance of the Syracuse PTO and the enthusiastic participation of students, parents, teachers, and patrons. 23.300 labels from cans of Campbell s soup and beans, ' Franco-American products, V-8 vegetable juice, and Swinson products were collected. The goal of 20.000 was exceeded by more than 3,000 labels. This year, the labels will be redeemed for a listening center with eight headphones, a jack box and four headsets for additional listening stations, a filmstrip slide projector with carrying case, and four playground balls for the school's learning resource center. During the five previous years, the school received a Kodak carousel slide projector, two cassette player-recorders, a portable projection screen, two listening centers with eight headphones, a jack box for a listening center, three phonographs, a model of a human torso, a ball inf la tor with pressure guage. several smaller pieces of physical education equipment, and 21 books. Each year, the number of labels collected has increased as
and the viewer’s own life can become so Closely interwoven that “A fan is not just a spectator, but also a participant. ” Helen Gallagher (Maeve Ryan on “Ryan’s Hope”) is quoted, in the Chicago Tribune Magazine, as saying: “I think people watch because it's a form of escapism. It takes you out of yourself, sitting in on other people’s problems It’s like listening in on the party line in a small town.” Although it is hard for students to watch soap opreas during the day there are many who find themselves rushing home from school to see one. The most popular of these after school soaps is “General Hospital.” According to a survey of 20 Wawasee High School juniors and seniors, this soap is viewed by 60 per cent of the students Among those who watch this popular soap are Kim Kelley. Lynn Hathaway. Brian Ray. Brad Calobrace. Sonya Crow. Beth Walker and Curt Clevenger The second most watched soap of those surveyed is “The Edge of Night”. This is watched by 30 per cent of the students, including Margie Gans and Dee Rig ter ink ABC is the most-watched network for daytime soap operas The popularity of "General Hospital” and “The Edge of Night” are contributors to the popularity, along with “AU My Children” and "One Life To Live.” which are each viewed by 20 per cent of the soap watchers. Another question asked is whether or not the students feel that they are addicted to soaps The results were equaUy divided: 50 per cent are addicted, and 50 per cent claim that they are not addicted. Forty-five per cent view them as away to escape from the real world and even boredom, just as Helen GaUagher believes. No matter what the reason, whether for boredom, escaping, or even just entertainment, it looks as though they’ll be around for quite some time.

exhausted. These dreams may be pleasant or frightening, and may seem unforgettable to you. Also, according to the December 1979 issue of Seventeen dreams often provide decision making data, reveal ideas, fears, needs, and discloses preferences you might overlook or repress while you are awake. Nightmares are found to take place during the most restful part of sleep. Nightmares are often found to be re-enactments of something frightening that has happened to you. These reenactments may appear for may nights afterwards. Our dreams can also help a person while they are awake. Dr. Rosalind Cartwright, author of the book. “Night Life: Explorations in Dream's ”, says that 4e let off steam in dreams and awake able to face troubling emotional issues more calmly We often make UP for devastating days be performing heroically in dreams, which makes us feel confident in the morning

Mr. Hamman feels that next year’s collection drive should exceed 25.000 labels. Area residents are encouraged to save the front portion only of cans of the products mentioned in this article, if they use them. Mr. Hamman re-emphasized what he has said during each of the previous drives, "We are not endorsing these products nor soliciting people to go to the store and buy them. We merely request that people, who normally buy and use the products, save the labels for us. The labels should not be sent to the school until the collection drive which will probably begin during December and end during February Mr Hamman stated, “Not only have parents and students responded to this progra, but also other friends and relatives, people in surrounding communities. Some businesses and factories have even collected from employees and patrons for us.”

EVERGREENS vs. FLOWERING PLANTS - To be sure, there are a few flowering evergreens, but in the main, flowering plants are deciduous, which means they lose their leaves each faU. What ratio of evergreens and flowering shrubs should you use in your landscape? It is the opinion of the writer and many other landscape architects that the majority of the plants used in landscaping should reflect the nature of character of the plants native to the part of the country in which they are used. When you take inventory of the native plants here in the midwest. you discover that there is a very low- percentage of evergreens. It follows, therefore, that the percentage of evergreens in your landscape should be relatively low also. I personally favor about 30 per cent evergreen and 70 per cent deciduous This is, of course, still a much higher ratio of evergreen than is true of native populations However, with a ratio of 3:7, the landscaping is dominated (as it should be’ with deciduous plants, which gives the overall effect of harmony with the area. It is also worth noting that the rounded tops of deciduous plants

duplicate the contours of the rolling prairie of the midwest, whereas the pyramid form of some evergreens duplicates the jutting contour of the mountains where many of them were first found. Another advantage of deciduous plants is a great deal more variety throughout the year. First comes the relatively light green of new emerging * foliage in early spring, which darkens a bit as it ages. This is followed by flowers of various shapes and shades. On many plants the flowers are followed by colorful berries. Come fall, some flowering shrubs provide a spectacular display of leaf color before the leaves drop to expose the branching structure, and in some cases twig and branch shape, unique to each species Another advantage of deciduous plants will be discussed in a later column on trimming.
