The year that witnessed profound changes in
Eastern Europeon and Central American politics
also brought profound changes to the economy
of Kenosha . As the Berlin Wall tumbled in Germany, wrecking balls razed the Chrystler plant
here. Meanwhile at the same time, construction
began on the new marina and several new businesses moved into the industrial park on the edge
of town .
Among the improvements at Reuther, the old
clocks were replaced during the summer with
new, accurate ones. A new superintendent of
schools began his term in office and our principal began her first full-year with us. By the start
of second semester, teachers arrived before
sunrise for meeetings designed to restucture
our school to meet the needs of students who
will graduate into a rapidly changing world.

hat does the new decade

hold for Reuther? Change is certainly
the key word for the nineties. As Shelly Henning began her first full year at
Reuther , she was presented with mission to restructure the program and
improve the building facilities for students and staff. Shelley feels the
school is on its way to becoming a
vital and creative energy in the community.
The future plans for Reuther include
the addition of ninth graders, education for employment, expansion of alternative programs, colitions between Shelly shared the Block Picn ic with students , Peggy LaPointe , Dorcus

increased parental involvement and a
resurgence of community volunteer- Shelley Henning
wa its for a stuism. The projected enrollment for the
dent in her ofnineties is approximately eight hun- fice .
dred students. This could also mean a
new physical facility . The present facilities need to be brought up to date.
New furniture has been ordered to rep Iace the old , mismatched and
broken tables and chairs that are
presently in use in classrooms. The
building repairs that are needed and
general painting and refurbishing will
be done.
Reuther will have a new look, but
hopes to retain its stress on a caring,
family atmosphere. Shelley is part of
the caring process as she guides the
school into the new decade.

Our Dean of Students, Mike Houlihan, has completed his second
year at Reuther. Mike feels Reuther is a special school with a caring staff. Mike is in charge of discipline, attendance awards, T.A.
time and Student Council. Giving
attendance awards is one of

Mike's favorite jobs.
Mike wishes students would realize the importance of their education to their future. Like the rest of
the school, Mike is looking forward to the changes predicted for
Reuther. Mike sees Reuther as
the right choice for a great future.

Secretaries Contribute More Than Office
Services.
Times change, but Reuther's secretaries remain
the same - helpful and patient. Karen Bockeloh,
Nancy Piller, and Barb Winberg always make time
to help students and faculty members alike. Not
only do they get supplies, make change, and find
phone numbers for everyone, they contribute to
the entire Reuther program.
When the Block teachers needed items to fill a
display case for Ethnic Month Karen brought in her

souveniors from Germany. When it's birthday time
for a faculty member, Nancy can be seen getting
signatures on a birthday card for the lucky person.
Barb's energy and physical fitness are evident
each day as she spends her lunch time playing
volleyball with the students. Barb is not just the
copy machine person. As Reuther enters a new
decade, it's fortunate that its main office staff is up
to any challenge that lies ahead.

Be ing friendly is one of Karen Bockeloh ' s best secretarial traits.

Answering the phone is just one of
Barb Winberg 's duties .

Climb To the Top
W alking up the stairs to
the top floor of Reuther is where
you'll find guidance - in being a
young mother or father, becoming
a college student, doing work experience, and helping with everyday's little problems.
The counselors, Joyce Schnepf,
and Elaine Clark, are very helpful in
everyway possible. They give support with family problems and
school-related problems, too. " I
have noticed that students are
more realistic about their future
goals,'' said Elaine Clark. Joyce As the sun and

problems.''
The secretaries, Sue Nighbor and
her aid, Sandy Honey, serve a lot
of purposes unknown to students,
like mail out progress reports and
report cards, type up student transcripts and keep master schedules
up to date. They also do graduation
preparations, senior banquet, and
Thanksgiving Dinner. Sue also has
her own supply of candy and
change for soda machines for
those emergency sugar attacks
students have when the school
store is closed. When Sue Nigbor
was asked what she thought of the
Guidance Office, she replied,"l'd
like to think that we give a warm
welcome to students that come in,
and that they can feel comfortable
with us.'' Then you would say that

W h a t image do you conI

It is probably not the atmosphere of
the Reuther Library. As Andrea
Denninger says, ''The library is
unique, and everyday is different."
Our library is really an alternative
compared to others. Bob Anderson, the librarian, isn't exactly the
kind of person you would expect to

New Driver's Ed Class
T
he new class started last year in August. Shel·
ley thought Reuther should have Driver's Ed. She
started working on it as soon as she came to Reuther. She did this by first taking a survey and the
respondants were 85% in favor of adding the class .
Then she told Dick Regner, the Administrator of Curriculum, about the survey. He agreed about having
the class . Mr Mangi, the principal of Bradford,
agreed to share a car, the expenses, and a teacher.
Fred Radtke, a teacher from Bradford, had an opening to teach the class . Fred has been teaching Driver's Ed for twenty-six years. He has a Master's
degree in traffic safety and has taught at many other
schools.
The class costs seventy-five dollars. It can be paid in
installments, but has to be paid by the end of the
course. Many students like having time to pay. The
class requires thirty hours in the class room, six
hours of driving, and six hours of observing.
Some rules for Driver's Ed are: you can miss only
four days of class, no unexcused absences, and no
more than three tardies. Deb Hunt said," The rules
should only be for the people who skip.''
Fred feels more secure driving with students now
then he did when he first started teaching Driver's
Ed . He stated, "Most student drivers do well with
their driving and I see a lot of improvement." Also he
said, "I like Reuther and the students very much and
want them all to learn to drive."
Students think it's necessary to take the class. This
will make them more responsible before getting on
the road. Dee-Dee Slade thinks, "You need to be a
safe driver and be an adult before driving." Students
want their licenses so they will have more freedom
and won't have to depend on their parents for transportation . Most students now have their own transportation or will soon.

22

On the last day of driving, Cathy Gontscharow was
happy because she passed the class .

In class, Bria Cole and Shannon Walker are studing
together .

Makes Students Happy
On the road, a student driver just stopped in the knick of
time. Practicing parallel parking was a difficult task. Also
the Y-turn ended up in the snow bank.

By the smile on Fred Radtke, he must have gotten
the right answer.

On the chart, Fred demonstrates the correct way to
drive .

''Block Heads'' Work
T h e Block was formed to
establish an atmosphere in
which the students new to
Reuther feel more comfortable. It creates a strong bond
between the staff and students as well as improves student attendance and attitude
towards school in general. "I
think being a 'Block Head' is
all right because I like being
able to talk to my teachers,''
said Paul Hultenius. "I get
along with my teachers better
than before," said Tammy
Veasey. In the beginning of
the year , the Block students
have a picnic at the lake to get
to know their fellow students.
They play volleyball and other
games . Everyone brought
food and ate a great lunch.
An Ethnic Dinner was held to
celebrate the different heritages of the students in the
Block. The activities that the
students share helps them enjoy learning. The teachers
spend most of their time helping the students adjust to their
environment and really enjoy
being here at Reuther. They
try to show the students that
they are important and special. Here at Reuther we work
together - we're a team!

Slipping and sliding , the Block students tug into a new decade!

Block Students Celebrate Ethnic Heritage.
"What ethnic background do you have?", became the theme of the Block students during
one month in the fall. Students found out from
their parents where their ancestors lived before
immigrating to America. Then in English class,
the students went to the library and did research on their background.
Each student wrote a paper on one country
emphasizing the country's history, location, traditions, and special foods. A display case was
prepared by the Block teachers and students
showing souveniors from many countries. In
reading class stories were studied that were
written by authors of a similar ethnic background to the students. Native American culture
was studied by taking a field trip to the Kenosh~
County Historical Museum. One of the docents
gave the students a tour of the "Old Kenosha"
rooms plus explained the display of Native
American handicrafts and artifacts. Everyone
was intrigued by the jewelry and beautiful clothing created by the native Wisconsin Indians.
Finally, an ethnic dinner was held as a culminating experience. Dishes representing their ethnic
background were brought and shared by students, parents, and faculty. Even ethnic bingo
was played and enjoyed by all.

Wisconsin Indian crafts were beautiful according to
Tammy Helton and Allison Jenn inga .
" Delicious " was the word to describe the various ethnic
dishes enjoyed by Ann Mcdona ld, Mary Nell Sauls , Bruno
Reau and Nancy Kaye .

Alberta Steinhoff and Mary Nell Sauls work on the
display case of souveniors from around the world.

Reuther's Food Satisfies More than Just
the Stomach.
providing more than just food for
students and faculty is just what
Reuther's Food Service does. About
100 people are served daily by the
Food Service at Reuther. The program also lets students benefit with
work experience, school credits, and
money. Students are paid $3.50 an
hour and recieve three quarter credits
a quarter. Class begins at 9:30 a.m.
and ends at 1:00 p.m. The class is
only available to juniors and seniors.
Not only do Judy Jensen, Food Service Supervisor, and her students
prepare and serve the food, they also
have a regular class in which they
watch films on preparation of food
and work out of two text books. One
book, Succeding in the World of
Work, teaches students about future
careers. The second book, Professional Cooking and Baking, teaches
students how to cook and bake
foods. Students have to be to class
on time everyday. If the student has
any unexcused absences they will be
suspended. ''This is a big responsibility for the kids," said Judy. The students say that the class provides
them with work experience for future
jobs. Sal Victoria said, "The class is
like a real job. "It makes us more responsible and more dependable,''
said Robert Byrd.

Careers Become Food for Thought

H

"'e yo" been wondering
where all the delicious looking
artwork in the display case , located
east of the office, has been coming
from? Well, the answer is from the
Career Foods class . The busy students enrolled in the course have
done some fun activities this year .
The class has done special projects
for some of the national holidays.
For Halloween the students built
gingerbread haunted houses. They
were judged on creativity, imagination, and the quality of their work.
Tina Quardokus and Jim Holland
tied for first place, Maria Almazan
took second place, and honorable
mention went to Rosa Deleon. Gingerbread houses were also made at
Christmas time. These masterpieces were also judged . First
place went to Ryan Boseman, second place to Bobby Coleman, and
third place to Robert Valdez. Other
activities done were crystal Easter
eggs for Easter, a Mexican fiesta,
and homemade cookies for Valentines Day.
Students enrolled in the Career
Foods class are also involved in
FHA- HERO (Future Homemakers of
America- Home Economics Related
Occupations). The students work
out of the textbooks World of Work
and Professional Cooking and Baking. The teacher, Judy Jensen, and
her students went on some fun field
trips to a fast food restaurant, an
institutional food service location,
and to a full house restaurant. They
learned about the special preparations needed for the different types
of food services. The class also had
guest speakers come in and talk to
them about the different jobs and
careers in the foods industry .
The Career Foods class begins at
8:30 in the morning and ends at 9:30
am . Students recieve one quarter
credit per quarter. "The class is fun
and interesting, so be sure to sign
up for next year," says Judy.

Students and Children Build for the Future.
Infant Lab is a program that helps parents graduate from high school as well as a class that is offered
to all Reuther students. As Cindy Martin states, "It teaches one the responsibilities of being a parent."
The teachers in Infant Lab are AM Feeney and Sue Dugan . They enjoy seeing babies grow and bond
with students. There are ten to twelve toddlers, infants, and six crawlers in the lab. The goal of Infant
Lab is to teach positive parenting skills. Asked how she felt about taking Infant Lab, Brandi Ammon
replied, "I enjoy it because I get to see my son during the school day."

Program Offers Classes

S•

A.P.A.R. stands for Student Aged Parents At
Reuther. It is a program that helps students be better
prepared for childbirth, labor, and parenthood.The
most important purpose of the program is to help students stay in school. The program is intended for junior
and senior high school students who are pregnant. The
students attend Reuther classes in the morning and the
specially designed S.A.P.A.R. classes in the afternoon.
There are three classes in the program: Family Living, Adaptive Phy. Ed., and Life Science. In Family
Living, the topics covered are newborns, bonding, infant stimulation, play, speech, saftey, illnesses, child
development, bottle and breast feeding, parenting,
adoption, career planning, marriage, sexual abuse,
child abuse, and mate abuse. Some of the units discussed in Adaptive Phy. Ed. are prenatal, postnatal,
and infant nutrition, prenatal and postnatal exercise,
eating disorders, C.P.R. , drug and alcohol abuse. Finally, in Life Science students learn about the male and
female anatomy, fertilization, ovulation, the menstral
cycle, fetal growth and development, sexually transmitted diseases, birth control, the discomforts of pregnancy , the physical aspects of breast feeding, labor, normal and Caesarian deliveries, complications, and postpartum depression. The students get one and one-half
credits each semester for S.A.P.A.R. classes.
The teachers in S.A.P.A.R. feel that the program
helps the students by preparing them for labor, delivery, and a more realistic picture of parenting. Joanne
Relich says, "I am concerned that all young children
have the best chance for success in life by helping teen
mothers with decisions regarding a realistic future for
themselves as well as their children. I hope to make an
impact on positive living for both mother and child."

32

The progress made in the S.A.P.A.R. program makes
Joanne Relich happy.

Helping one of the teenage mothers is Mary Plovanich .

O.B. nurses from St. Catherine's Hospital and
Kenosha Hospital Center teach the students what
it may be like when they go into labor, about care
at the hospital, and care of the baby at home.
Community speakers come in and talk to the students concerning different issues such as the Expanded Food and Nutrition Program, Women Infant
Children, Aid for Families with Dependant Children, and Child Support. Students also have support groups with Mary Brabender, a social worker.
The girls come from different backgrounds, and
make different decisions.Though most of the girls
choose to keep their infants, whatever decision is
made, they are always respected for it.

Teenage Parents Find Careers.

Help ing students is Saunnie Yelton ' s main priority.

What skills will a single parent need to prepare for a
lit etime of meaningful employment? The Single Parent
Marketable Skills Program will offer counseling on a
one-to-one basis to determine those skills and aptitudes. Saunnie Yelton , program coordinator, helps single parents ages 14 to 21 develop a career I educational plan which will lead to gainful employment. Saunnie feels that what is needed for the '90's is " more
vocational options at Reuther for young parents needing to streamline their path to economic self-sufficiency .'' Saunnie will help a participant evaluate her personal skills, interests and job experience to form a realistic
plan of action. Support is given to the student throughout the assessment, development and implementation
process.

Shining Stars Come Out
Students and teachers gathered in the
auditorium to watch these colorful stars
come out of the clouds and shine for the first
time in six years.Lisa Genthe, music teacher
and the director, said that she was surprised
about all the talent that was in the show.
"Everybody had overwhelmingly good stage
presence," she said.
To start the show Frankie Noto, Dan Ade,
Kathy Brill, Kelly Rotunda, and Carl Tawwater jammed out "The Star-Spangled Banner," Jimmy-Hendrix style. Tina Taylor sang
"Because of You" with special feeling for her
mother, while Sherri Carr and Latongu Lott
lip-synched the background vocals. Kristy
Hoffman, accompanied by Sue Swaitko on
piano, sang the song "Nothing" from "A Chorus Line." When Salena Kent and Tonika
Knight performed their electrifing dance to
the rhythm-and-blues tune "Fantasy," they
brought the audience to an outrageous uproar of applause. For humor, Cindy Carlson,
Kristy Hoffman, Tina Johnson, Lisa Genthe,
with Jeff Kuhl on a motor scotter lip-synched
"Leader of the Pack".
The band ''OY' ' cranked out an excellant
original jam called ''Garbled.'' Band members
included John Scott on bass, Dwayne Hanson on lead, and Brian Gahart on drums.
Sherry Carr and Tyrone Turnbull lip-synched
"Babies Having Babies." The Reuther Choir
sang a spooky song ·called "Hist Whist."
"After 3 P.M.," Reuther Regulars - teachers and secretaries - did a humorous skit in
which they passed out while doing aerobics.
"I Dreamed a Dream" was beautifully sung
by Kristy Hoffman. Finally, Lisa Genthe's Performance Seminar guitarists ended the program with "Day Tripper" by John Lennon and
Paul Mc Cartney.
The MC's, Jeff Kuhl and Scott Farnsworth,
were a hillarious part of the whole show.

The director of the show, Lisa Genthe , blushes like the roses
presented to her by Jeff Kuhl and Kristy Hoffman.

NOTHING
by Jeff Kuhl
I'm so excited because I'm going to
Reuther High School. I mean I was
dieing to become a serious student .
Anyway, it's the first day of writing
class and the teacher, Mr. Jones, turns
to us and he says, "Ok people, we're
gonna do an opener: 1 paragraph, 50
words, count and number. Ok, go ."
Everyday for a week we would try to
write a sentence-write a sentence,
word by word.
Everyday for a week we would
try to keep the grades up,
correct the grammar, pass the class.
And I dug right down to the bottom
of my soul to see what I had inside.
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom
of my soul and I tried ... I tried.

Togetherness Helps Yearbook
Class Rocket to the Top!
T h e "89-90 and Rising" theme for this year's
yearbook, thought of by Tyron Turnbull , was a great
start for the yearbook class. It made everybody
"pumped up" for the hard work that is involved in producing an exciting yearbook.
To start everything off the students made packets of
advertising information for businesses to sponsor us
with a donation for an ad. During class time students
went out on foot to sell ads to all the downtown stores.
Students went after school to sell them to businesses
all over Kenosha. The next step they took was to sell
the yearbook itself. The students came up with an idea
to have balloons to promote the yearbook.
The yearbook had an exciting fieldtrip to Camp
Pottawatomie and U. W.-Whitewater. They went on a
mind-boggling obstacle course that took some thinking
and group participation . Although this took some time,
everybody got through pretty well. That night they first
learned how to make a layout sheet for the pages of the
yearbook. Everybody had to make one double-page
spread. Students came up with interesting layout ideas
for this year's book. The next day they took off to the
campus of U.W.-Whitewater to attend the Kettle Morraine Press Association's annual conference for high
school yearbook and newspaper staffs. During the
morning they went to several workshops to help them
get better ideas for producing this year's book. At the
final conference assembly Reuther's '88-'89 yearbook,
"Cooler By the Lake" , recieved a third place award.
After a stunned silence, the crowed thundered into applause.

Spirits Soar With the Arts!
Music and Art are exciting and self-gratifying electives offered at Reuther.
Lisa Genthe teaches Beginning Guitar, Choir, Performance Seminar, and Music Theater; while Joni Michell leads the Art Department with Collage, Acrylic, and Basic Art.
Lisa's Beginning Guitar class works on learning the notes, chords, and tablature. The
choir practices singing in four parts for concerts and the Christmas caroling tour .
Performance Seminar "jams" out new songs. Music Theater learns the histories of
both opera, and stage music .
Joni's Collage and Acrylic "kicks out" hundreds of beautiful wood and plaster plaques
along with paper collages. Gruesome posters of skulls and dragons are subjects for
some student's projects in Basic Art.
That's the final note and the final touch!

E.B.C.E. PREPARES STUDENTS FOR

E
mployers looking for well-trained, reliable students
to work for them can count on the Experienced Based
Career Education Program for qualified applicants.
It is a special program to help students to earn academic
credits, explore career activities, and discover their own
potential. Students spend three to nine weeks at job sites
they select; the rest of the time is spent in the classroom
working on academic assignments.
In addition, speakers and tours of various work places
are offerred to expose the students to career options.
Mayor Patrick Moran, Robert Jambois of the Districk Attorney's office, State Senator Joe Andrea, and Rosemary
Worth, a physical therapist, shared their views on their
vocations. Tours of Abbott Lab, Kenosha Leatherette,
Laminated Products, U.S. Coast Guard Station and Shady
Lawn East Nursing Home, expanded the students ' view of
the work place. Career opportunities are changing and
E.B.C.E. helps students rise to this challenge.

R.E.A.L. Program

R

• E.A.L.(Reuther Education at Large) is an experience
based , educational program designed to help students that have
difficulty in the regular Reuther program. Students enter this program
if they choose to do so after they
have not met their Reuther contract. The main purpose of the program is to show students the relevancy of education to the work
place. Students earn credit by volunteering at community sites such
as Headstart, Shady Lawn East
and the Kenosha Medical Complex. After working at the community centers, the students then pursue various sites relevant to their
career interests such as a law office, the Coast Guard, U. of Wis.
Parkside, Spanish Center and Furrby-Us. Scott Farnsworth is the
head of the R.E.A.L. program .
Scott says he finds the students
interesting and enjoys working with
them. He hopes to help students
understand our society better.
Scott wishes the program will expand so more students will benefit
from a R.E .A.L. experience.

Opportunity Excels
With a goofy look on his face, Bruce Bloedorn shows
his keyboarding class the function of the spacebar.

Marketing Education is a new term for study·
ing the business activities of today. Bruce Bloedorn
gives his students knowledge of the expanding business world in his Enterprise, Marketing, and Keyboarding classes.
Bruce's typing class has advanced and beginner typists. His class not only teaches his students how to
type, but it also teaches some business procedures
used in offices. Fourty-five words a minute is an average speed for a typist upon completing this class.
Marketing is the preparation for the Enterprise class.
It begins with an overview of business activities: how
business helped advance our society, what new is
happening in today's business world, and what developments to expect in the future. Marketing teaches the evolution of how products advanced.
Enterprise is the next step after marketing. It deals
with real business procedures. On-the-job training is
given in this class. Students run the school store,
take inventory, stock, make purchase orders, and
deal with the customers. The school store does pretty good, averaging about sixty dollars per day. It's
not all business and no play with the unique field-trips
the class takes. They go flying to exotic places, meet
new people, and they get their work done. They
traveled to Wichita, Kansas, for their first field trip
and plan to go to many more places for competition.
Marketing is a good start for people going into business-related fields of work.

D.E.C.A members, Angela Favors, Dotty Galloway, and

Student Council. Students were
asked to show their support of the
school by taking part in various dressup contests. Cindy Carlson won for
best Hippie Day from the sixties.
Fright Day was won by Jim Chostner.
He was scary Jason. Kristy Hoffman
won Celebrity Day by dressing like

a Voice in School Activities
Student Council got underway the second week of school.
The first meeting consisted of
choosing the officers. The officers selected by the council
members were Erin Friedrich,
president, Amy Perri was elected vice president, Tyrone Turnbull, secretary, and Scott Aney,
treasurer. (Due to absences a
new president had to be elected,
so Dottie Galloway was elected
the new president.) Student
Council is a group formed by two
students selected from each
T.A. group, which meets in room
315 on every other Friday . Student Council promotes the different programs for each school
year and sponsored various activities, such as Spirit Week, Hal-

loween Dress Up Day, Student
Faculty Volleyball Game, and
Senior Week celebration.

Everybody looks so interested during the Student Counc il meet ing .

T h e annual Parent's Night
was held on November 2nd and
3rd . This was the first time that the
report cards were handed out at
the meeting. Parents talked to the
teachers about concerns regarding
their children . Many parents
showed up, but ironically enough ,
parents who had children that did
poorly did not show up. This was a
good chance to get to know their
student's school and teachers a little better. On March 30 a second
Parent's Night was held and was
equally successful. These Parent's
Nights are set up by our Parent's
Group that involve parents, administrators, staff, and students. The
Parent Group meets once a month,
always with room for more parents.
Some topics discussed are the
building needs of Reuther, the
course offerings, and opportunities
for students.

Reuther Family Raises Food for the Needy
Thanksgiving at Reuther is a
special time. Everyone shows their
school spirit and neighborly concern . Reuther continues a tradition
begun in 197 4 at the Tremper Night
School. Students, staff, and friends
all gather to give thanksgiving for
each other and the school that is
home to many. Students and staff
join together and prepare a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all
the extras.
T.A. groups donate the food that is
prepared. In addition, each student
brings in a canned or non-perisnable food item that is given to the
Headstart Food Bank. This year
there was a prize for the school in
the area that gave the most food
per student. Students and staff
raised pounds of food to help the
needy. Left-overs were given to the
Shalom Center to help raise their
spirits. As the school enters a new
era, one thing will always be the
same - Thanksgiving will continue
to be a highlight of the school year.
Selecting the right dessert was a problem for Jodi Decker, LaShonda Mayhall , Lakethia Montgomery, and Cheri
Foster.

Chuck Ostergaard , Jim Mettelo, Shelly and Mike waited in line patiently

to Chuck's class on time so you will get
your 1O points. Time to pick out what
game you want to play-volleyball,
basketball, or ping-pong. Now you
have decided what game you want to
play. When playing volleyball , you
keep playing until the winning team finishes. Then Chuck marks down the
winning team. But with basketball and
ping-pong, you just play until you get
tired of playing . In order to get a grade
for that day, you have to keep playing
one of these three games until the end
of the period .
Ok; a half hour went by. You're thirsty .
You ask Chuck if you can get a drink of
water . Chuck says, "Yeah! You can
get water when ever you want ." But
when you finish getting a drink of water, you have to hurry back in and don't
stay in the hallway and talk or Chuck
will just take away points .

Helping People Is Part
Blood transfusions are not
something people need daily but
over 450 pints of blood are needed
every single day by the six counties
of southeastern Wisconsin . Reuther students gave seventy-five
pints during the annual blood drive
held in February.
You must be seventeen years of
age, weigh at least one hundred
and ten pounds, and be free of illness and infection to qualify to give
blood. Chuck Stahlman, health
teacher, along with Student Council , was in charge of this event.
Chuck felt the drive was a great
indication of Reuther's community
spirit. In a letter to Chuck, The
Blood Center said ''they enjoyed
and appreciated the congeniality of
the donors and volunteer workers."
It takes approximatly one hour for
the entire procedure. There is no
risk . Qualified, registered nurses
will draw the blood. The blood is
then screened for AIDS , iron defic i en ces and infections. Todd
Schoen said, " I feel good giving
blood because I know I'm helping
others." Even though she is afraid
of needles Tonika Knight was
brave because, as she said , " I
know I'm saving a life." " Reuther's
students do their best to be concerned members of society.

Good Attendance Creates Good Fortune!
Reuther Alternative High School is trying to improve their students attendance by giving special
awards to those who apply themselves. Mike Houlihan
and Shelly Henning are giving prizes out such as: free Tshirts, lunches, etc .. The grand prize was a bicycle won
by Alberta Bankhead. Also Kiwanis Club donated one
hundred dollars to our school for students with great
attendance records. A contest was held during second
hour for the students with the best attendance. The
students who won, Keith Deike, Andy Abrahamson,
Jeff Deike, Luis Cabrera, Amy Czarnowski, had a dinner with Mike and Shelly at a nice restaurant at their
expense!
Why all this attention given to attendance? Last semester there was approx. 286 tardies or unexcused absentses. This semester has improved about 30 percent! As Mike Houlihan said, "Kids mature as the year
goes on and take ownership in their school." Reuther
wants to show students that whenever you put forth an
effort, there will be an award.
Lisa Genthe's music class won the first six foot sub that
was given out. Lisa said, "It was a grand motivation to
get the kids in class!" E.B.C.E., another sub winner,
was most enthusiastic about their prize. As Joyce Gyurina said, "Eating a sub sandwich is a learning experience all by itself.''
Offic er Roegge and Mike Houlihan are getting ready to draw
the winner for the bike .

Students Show a Rising
S
cheduling at Reuther is hectic, but the students
say they don't mind too much. Reuther students schedule every quarter and make their own schedules.
Seniors schedule first. Jen Heinzman thinks that "everyone should schedule at the same time." Tina Quardorkus thinks it's fair seniors schedule first "because
seniors need certain credits to graduate."
This year, third quarter, teachers voted on a time
change for first hour. Classes start at seven-fifteen so
teachers have a common preparation time to work on
changing Reuther programs. There were some complaints from some of the students, because they need
to get up earlier. Greg Zgorzelski had problems with
transportation. Students understand the change and
are awaiting the results.
Sheduling at Reuther puts more resposibility on students to know what they need and when to take it.
Students work with teachers instead of having teachers
work for the students. Reuther students and teachers
are working hand in hand to watch their future soar.

60

Looks like a concert! No, it's the start of registration
in the gym . In the next hectic step Kelly Rotunda
signs up for her classes with the appropriate teacher. Finally, the Guidance office collects the completed schedules at the exit door.

Interest in Scheduling

When a class is already full, Scott Aney must schedule his
second choice .

Staff Rises Early!
At the commmon preparation meetings the staff talk about how to improve Reuther in the following ways:
1) to prepare for the ninth graders,
2) to restore the school to make it
more efficient, 3) to help improve
attendance, 4) to get students more
involved in the Reuther program, 5)
to make Reuther a school that prepares its students for today's society. These are goals Reuther has
set to become the kind of school its
staff and students envision for the
90's.
The faculty is learning about various
programs:

education for employment, the vocational and technical aspects of
the future. Bill Ratzberg explained
the importance of educational skills
for future employment.

During the month of March, Joyce
Schnepf presented information to
the staff: characteristics of dropouts, their reasons for leaving
school, and problems in schools
that cause students to leave. Nancy
Kaye described the componets of
successful drop-out programs. Pat
DeRemer explained the state of
Wisconsin's definitions of at-risk
students.
In April the staff worked on a futurism program. Guest Speaker, Nick
Covelli, spoke on how to restucture
a school. Speaker Dr. Kaltsas explained what the schools of the 90's
will need to provide for students. At
the crack of dawn Reuther teachers
brainstorm future plans for a stateof-the art school.

In February the faculty heard about

You Can Make a Difference

ldeas won 't keep. Something must be don e
about th enz."
(Alfred North Whit ehead)
Years ago, Joseph Johnson, a young man from
Milwaukee, had a brilliant idea that his bosses
instantly rejected - as so many brilliant ideas
are.
So, he and a co-worker beg~n to turn hi idea
into a reality. The two started a company that
would make and sell wrenche with interchangeable sockets that would "snap-on " to a
wrench handle. Early mechanics liked the new
wrenche , and the company grew.
Today, nap-on Tools Corporation is a Fortune
500 company and is known around the world
for its quality products.
You , like young Joe, can make a difference.
Snap-on Tools Corporation applauds you the members of the 1990 Graduating Class and your ideas!
