He was hired by the Sea-Land Class reunions can be great and again they can be frustrat ing. It's good to see the old gang once again, reminisce the days of high school and also re member what fun it was at that time. After so many years on one's own, he (she) never realizes the good times they've had without the responsibility of raising a family of their own. But now, at a reunion, one can look back and see what fun high school days were: all the Rah! Rahs! and hoop-de-doos!, the days of young and happy hearts: back in the days when "gay" meant being happy and cuss words were dirty. All the school activities we all shared are remembered: school dances, parties, athletic functions.. .Those are all in the past now and all we can do is remember them as we laugh and visit at the class reunion and remember the smallest incidents that hap pened in school. It's good to be able to look at the old annuals to see what we looked like in those days, the days we thought the school had the best class ever. Dropout prevention Continued from page 2 . ' - t .

"Education," says the new presi dent of the National Education Association, Keith Geiger, "is eve rybody's business.", Explains Geiger "If we're going to successfully prepare students for the fast-paced Information Age emerging all around us, schools need the active involvement of par ents and the community." When parents are involved in the education of their children, notes Geiger, everyone benefits. "In our various NEA school improvement projects all around the country, we've found that par ents fully understand the impor tant role they play in their child's education," says Geiger. "But for many parents trying to juggle work and home responsibilities, it's a matter of finding a way to help."
