Another change that is very im-portant to the topmost class has to do with graduation invita-tions. Seniors can expect the right date on their announcements. No extra cost will be necessary since announcements are not put into the computer until mid-April.

"I enjoy being In control of things and playing god for a-while when I write," Tammy said.

Tammy started writing when she was 12. She was given an assignment to write a Valentine's Day story for the Pleasant View paper. The product was a story about a lonely cow and Cupid called "Cupid's Arrow." After running in the paper, the story was published in "Unicorns and Daisies," an area wide published book of student writings.

"I decided to make writing pay right then, "said Tammy, In pay-ment she has published one poem "The Return" and according to Tammy, she has two batches of poems and stories that should be returned soon. Also, in Hillcrest and District Language Arts Fairs she has won numerous -ribbons.

On land Daryl is Just like any other woman, except for first appearance on land when she ar-rives completely nude. At the first sight of her Tom falls madly in love and sets out to make her his own.

Falling in love with a mermaid can arouse many funny and un-expected situations, maybe even embarrassing ones like sprouting a tail while taking a bath.

After falling in love with Daryl, Torn is faced with a decision that will affect the rest of his life but would enable him to live with the love of his life forever.

Both Tom Banks and Daryl Hannah do an outstanding job protraying their characters.

Hannah, a relatively new act-ress to the movie screen, shines through the innocent and very passionate character which she plays.

Marian Center offers aid, treatment for disturbed teens Teenagers suffering from emo-

tional disorders find help toward a new beginning at the St. John's Harlan Center.

The Marian Center, which is St. John's psychiatric unit, open-ed in February, 1982. It is an acute care or short term hospital which consists of five separate units. Three units are for adults, Bridgeway is for alcohol and drug rehabilitation, and an adolescent unit.

Patients in the adolescent pro-gram vary in age from 12 to 18. Help is provided for youths who have problems such as halluci-nating, difficulties thinking, don't know where or who they are, or what day it Is. Care is also offered against drugs, alcohol, and severe depression. According to Mr. Roger Keith, director of social services, depression is the main reason teens check into the center.

Patients admit themselves and are permitted to leave the hospi-tal with friends and relatives dur-ing their stay. Adolescents also go on out-trips with the other patients in the program.

Besidet the out-trips, theteen-agers have a number of activities scheduled throughout the day. When the patients arrive, treat-ment goals are established. Those still in school continue their ed-ucation two to three hours a day through a specially designed cur- riculum. -,

Along with their studies, youths attend community group therapy and leisure activities. The teens and their parents at-tend family therapy meetings where they communicate to solve their problems.

Patients' families are vital members of the treatment team after the adolescent returns home. And individualized discharge plan Is developed to insure continued

During the school year Ann spent two hours a day with a teacher. Her books and studies came from the public school sys-tem and her work counted as high school credit. Two staff members took the teenagers on out-trips to movies and the mall. When they felt Ann could be trusted, she was allowed to leave the group with another teenager during out-trips.

_ of Nursing

Hi, my name is Brenda Grube. I graduated from Wheatland High School in 1981 and l'qi now a junior at the Burge School of Nursing.

My mother is a nurse, so I have had firsthand expeerience watching what the profession has done for her. There have been many times when we were shopping and people stopped mother to thank her for caring for them. That always gave mea wonderful feeling.

I chose Burge because of the school's good reputation. My mother told me that the best pre-pared nurses who started to work in her hospital were the Burge graduates.

I get a warm feeling when I see a patient I have cared for being dismissed because I know I have really helped them to get better.

I guesc. the biggest reason for choosing nurs-ing is that you know you are truly contributing your part in society.

Once again Coach Dick Birm-ingham begins another bid for a state championship as the '84 baseball season opens.

In Hillcrest's 25 year span, The Bombers have pulled away with 15 conference champion-ships, 12 district championship teams and the 1979 state cham-pionship team.

Under Head Coach Denny Bur-rows in 1959, Hillcrest won its first of 15 conference champion-ships. In 1960, Coach Birmingham took the controls and guided the Bombers to three consecutive conference championships, three district championsips, and three state semifinal appearances.

In 1964-1966 the Bombers again took off with three conference championships and three district championships. Hillcrest also reached the state semifinals in 1966.

Starting in 1971 and the four years following to 1975 Hillcrest won five conference champion-ships winning district three of those years.

Then in 1979 the Hillcrest Bombers took everything, win-ning the conference, district and state. Last year in 1983, the Bobmers finished with a first in the Ozark Conference and a first in District.

Coach Birmingham expects this ion's baseball team to be a top contender for the state title with team members including seniors Kent Meador, Mike Goggin, John Perkins, Phil Manes, Larry Lar-son, Darrell Maus, Kevin Turner and Jeff Dishmon.
