From The Principals By Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School

The fact that more Americans in 1984 can tell you the name of the Heisman Trophy winner than the name of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature has a special significance for our education today. I think it tells us clearly that the athletic milieu of Mike Rozier is determined to be more exciting and romantic than the intellectually fine-tuned skills of William Golding. The media finds glamour and grace in the gamebreaking runs of the former Nebraska tailback that cannot be matched by Golding's literary efforts in Pincher Martin or Lord of the Flies. WE FIND the same to be true in high schools today. The community gets a constant reminder of the extra-curricular programs

in the press through coverage of athletics primarily and secondarily in articles on the arts, music, and club programs I happen to believe that there is something great about the writing of William Golding that will last long after Mike Rozier has hung up his cleats, and I. also believe that there is something great in the efforts of youngsters who strive hard to achieve academic excellence. Extra-curricular programs are the life blood of any good school. They are often the motivating force that encourages young people to persevere and eventually find a value in the academic side of life. But those activities are extra. THEY ARE NOT £nd never were intended to be the same as or substitute for the curriculum which is

NO HOOKY — Tina Teli.r5, left, missed the school bus on the second day of school last week, but mom. Mrs. Thomas Teti of Green Creek, delivered her anyway. Sister Tabatha. 3, came along for the ride: Tina attends kindergarten at Elementary No. I in Cape May Court House.

rooted in intellectual exercise. Our priorities in education have been permitted to shift by parents, teachers, administrators and boards of education who are not demanding enough of excellence in the classroom and are not forced to focus on what school is all about. In a real sense we have become the "Nerds" w imping along unaware that we £to not have to choose betwhen the curricular and the extra-curricular. They can and must co-exist, but they demand equal time, equal emphasis, equal reward. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a ticker-tape parade down the canyons of Manhattan for winners of the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Merit Finalists] We might ' .even .honor them at political conventions! » HOWEVER, we are a long way from that, and we can never get there until we begin to value the effort and sacrifice of academic pursuits, ^here is as much thrill in solving a difficult algebra problem or finding the right verb for your sentence as there is in beating the defender deep for a touchdown. It's just that there is nobody to cheer for the triumps of the brain. It is a victory in solitude. Well, here's an effort to change that - a little. Here are the names of some students at Lower Cape May Regional High School who have earned academic recognition. . This space does not provide enough glory, but it is a start. The top seven students in this year's senior class with grade point averages over 3.50 are: Mark Halbruner, 4.00, Laureen Weeden, 2.85, Kristin Taylor, 3.81, Douglass Patrick, 3.70, Jill Coldren, 3.61, Carolyn Baxter, 3.56, and MaryEUen Halligan, iso. Mike Rozier was something to behold breaking .tackles last year, -but how about Golding — "Softly surrounded by a fringe of inquisitive bright creatures, itself a silver shape beneath the steadfast constellations, Simon's dead body moved out * toward the open sea".
