They study the legal aspects of leases and job discrimina- tion. And, they practice for job interviews. To sharpen important interviewing skills, Mr. Siberski conducts a mock job interview which is re- corded on a vidoe-tape ma- chine. During the playback, the interviewed student can see exactly how he or she comes across to a prospec- tive employer. The student operating the video camera can focus on the student’s face to check expression and responsiveness, or on the hands and feet to detect signs of nervous- ness. Unlike the standard for- mat of lecture, homework, and tests, the Project 81 class consists of a number of individual tasks which the students work on at their own rate. Each stu- dent is responsible for fin- ishing all the tasks by the end of the semester. Students in Mr. Siber- ski's class can invite work- ers in various professions to the school to discuss their jobs. Bankers, cater- ers, policemen, insurance agents, and others give the class first-hand knowledge about their respective fields and answer questions. Project 81 is important to the future of education in our state because of changes, likely to happen in the next few years, in the requirements for graduation from high school. For the iast two years California has gradu- ated students on the basis of a standard test which measures skills similar to those taught by Mr. Siber- ski. PA will probably follow suit, as will other states, sometime in the next de- cade. Student reaction is favor- able. “‘In most classes, you have lectures and tests,” said Jim Zink, ‘‘but here you work at your own speed. It’s up to you.” Tina Simmons echoed his sentiments: ‘‘There’s no time limit on any one pro- ject, which gives us more responsibility. Most of the kids like what's going on.” Mr. Siberski finds the stu- dents ‘‘extremely recep- tive.”’ Because there is no text for the course, Mr. Siberski has copies of forms printed as worksheets. ‘‘Mr. Depoe and Mrs. Wert have been very helpful,”’ he said.

Four teams in the county competed in the Donegal Indoor Soccer Tournament on Friday and Saturday night in the Donegal gym- nasium. In the first game of Friday evening's double header, Peaque Valley de- feated E-Town 4-1. Done- gal then earned the right to play the Braves in the finals by downing Hemp- field 4-1. During Saturday night's consolation game, E-Town battled back in the second half to tie Hempfield after being down at half time 2-0. Into only thirty seconds of ‘‘sudden death’’ overtime, Hempfield’s Mike Meiskey scored his second goal of the game to give the Black Knights the 3-2 victory. Hempfield’s other goal was scored by Mark Corey. Roby Fox and Jim Shull tallied goals in the third period for the their own inc E-Town Bears. The Donegal Indians then took on the perennial soccer power Peaque Valley for the championship. Henry Klugh gave Donegal an early lead that lasted until midway into the second quarter. Greg Weimer put the Pequea Valley Braves on the score- board to tie the game 1-1. It remained tie through regulation play...and through three four-minute overtime periods. Both teams had opportunities but couldn’t find the range.
