DY NEN Nl HRC N on = Noo Niro Tu MUN I = Vi ill AB =R "VES Editor's Note: When the school year began, The Dallas Post asked Dallas High School principal Frank Galickl if any students would be interested in writing occassional articles for the newspaper. A group of students responded, and provided these articles for this week's issue. We plan to present student- written articles on a regular basis. Susan Benedetti coordinated this week's material. Mixed thoughts on schedule change ‘By TRILBY GREENE There has been much informa- tion printed about Dallas High Schools new block schedule (in effect next year), but there hasn't been much about how the stu- dents feel on the matter. Dallas High students have very controversial opinions about the four period day. “I like the idea,” says junior Dana Siglin. “It will help to prepare us for the long classes in college, and we will gain an extra class too.” On the oppo- site side, junior Jolynda Brown says, “If we can't sit stillas it is for a 50 minute period, how are teach- ers going to keep us motivated enough to sit through almost an hour and a half of class.” Students learn from visit By SUSAN BENEDETTI Seniors taking Sociology at Dallas High School had the op- portunity to visit the Clarks Summit State Hospital to deco- rate for the holidays on Wednes- day, December 6. Approximately 130 seniors boarded three buses at 7 a.m. to go to the State Hospital. They arrived around 8 a.m. and worked steadily for two hours. At 10 a.m. a party was given for the patients, where the students served punch, and baked goods which they made themselves. After the party, the decorating was finished, the stu- dents did some caroling, they toured other wards, and a ques- tion-answer session was held for the students by Mr. Robert Calin, director of volunteer services, and Dr. Terry Glazier, staff psycholo- gist. Students taking Sociology have been participating in this activity for 13 years. It has proved tobe a tremendous learning experience for those involved. Kerri Brown commented, “I loved going, I thought it was a great experience, it made me feel very happy and good about myself to bring those people holiday spirit.” This is the same question that alot of students are asking. “Most of my teachers only teach for a half hour and the rest of the pe- riod is free time. I don't under- stand how our teachers are going to be able to hold out for an hour and a half and still keep the stu- dents’ attention,” says one stu- dent who is not in favor of this condensed schedule. “There are lot of good things that go with this new schedule,” says eleventh grader Kevin Burk- hardt. “We're going to have differ- ent methods of teaching, and we're supposed to have more time with teachers for extra help.” To sum it up, Kevin says, “I think it's pretty swell.” Many students take a neutral Mr. Jay Pope, the Sociology instructor and advisor for the trip, had only positive remarks about the students’ efforts this year. When asked how the trip went overall he responded, “One of the most successful activities ever completed by a sociology class.” Four other chaperones also accompanied the students to Clarks Summit; Mr. Mathers, Mr. McCarthy, and Mr. Chappel, all teachers at Dallas High School and Mr. Shevock, guidance coun- selor. These chaperones have been accompanying Mr. Pope on this trip for almost all of the 13 years. Mr. McCarthy also had a posi- tive reaction to this year's trip. “...very successful. lamalso proud of the job the students did, both ini decorating and interacting with the patients.” McCarthy went on to say the gift the students gave the patients, just being there, maybe no one else would. “I think the decorating and caroling is important to them, and I'm not sure the people on the trip know how much this means to them.” McCarthy also commented how important it is for young people to see people less fortunate than they are. stand on the issue. “It's good because we will only have two subjects to study each night in- stead of seven. But on the other hand we will lose 52 hours of school time. It's like starting school on September 23rd.” “I'm sick of the controversy. I don't understand why so many people are afraid to try something new. People say that they don't want to get lectured for an hour and a half, but I'm sure the teach- ers don't want to lecture for that long. Classes will have to be structured differently. If this is performed correctly, it should work really well. I think it's worth a try.” Another student agrees, “If they do it right, it will work. I think it will be good for us.” to hospital Students in all five Sociology classes were given the choice to go to the hospital. If you wanted to go, there were three requirements: students had to bake something for the party, bring in decorations to take to the hospital, and of course bring in a permission slip. Much hard work was put into getting 'this program off the ground. Each class had two to three chairpersons who went to Clarks Summit in November be- fore anyone else to meet with the hospital personnel. The chair- persons came back and reported what the facility was like, and what was needed for decorations. The chairpersons were Rebecca Hoover, Dave Germick, Kevin McDonald, Kathy Ferko, Lisa Tomaine, Natalie Felton, Matt Sowcik, Holly Baseski, Matt Hop- ersberger, Sean Blinn, Beth Wag- ner, Suzanne Fisher, and Kristy Woolbert. Students were told to expect the unexpected when they got to the hospital. Many students had one attitude going in to the hospi- tal and another when the day was over. One student remarked, “It was much different than I ex- pected. My attitude changed.” Honor Society helps out with Kiwanis book drive A book drive was conducted October 16-27 by the National Honor Society in conjunction with the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club, to provide books for the less fortu- nate on Thanksgiving. Two members of the Honor Society visited each homeroom, informing the class about the drive, and asking them to donate books. Every morning during the drive the representatives would collect the books and drop them off in Mrs. Whalen's room. The result of the drive was moderately successful. An aver- age of three books per student was asked; however, in some cases only three books were donated by a homeroom. : by Susan Benedetti Members of the Dallas High School soccer team met alumni in a game just after Thanksgiving. The alumni pulled out a 4-3 win in two overtimes. Alumni wins soccer match in overtime . By NED FRIAR The Dallas High School Soccer Club recently held an alumni soccer match pitting close to 20 former players against the team’s best players. The game was held on a blustery Saturday afternoon after the Thanksgiving holiday. Ned Palka, the former Wyo- ming Valley Conference All-Star, started the scoring off early when he skipped a shot off the snow and ice past keeper Fred Maier, to give the alumni squad an early first quarter lead. Maier and the rest of his team said, “we are not phased by the goal because there is stilla lot of time left.” Ironically, just two minutes later Dallas freshman Mike Cleary, tied the score when he punched a corner kick in with his fist. Former Dal- las assistant coach, Reese Finn, serving as referee, obviously did not see the foul, and let play continue. Matt Sowcik and Matt Bailey both added two more goals for each team, and the score was tied 3-3 at halftime. As the second half started the temperature became colder, but the players said “it does not mat- ter, it's just nice to be playing again”. Four quarters went by with the score still tied at three. Then with five minutes left in the second sudden death overtime, Virginia Tech soccer star Matt Sleightholm scored off a Bailey assist to give the alumni squad the victory.
