Joyride III < By Libby Demp Forrest \J 1 I've started looking for a surrogate. I'm reading more and more about women who are willing to have babies for other women, and this has set my mind to wondering. Is there someone out there who'd like to be my surrogate? Someone to take my place at tffe dentist office? Someone to tell the doctor my symptoms so he can prescribe for me without my having to sit around the waiting room? Someone who wouldn't mind explaining why I want to return something at a store without my having to remember where I left the receipt? someone to GIv'e advice to No 1 and No. 2 who can stand up to an argument afterwards? When I was pregnant with No. 1 and No. 2 it was every women for herself. It never occurred to me that someone else might have the time to have my babies, thus saving me cellulite and other maladies of the flesh. I certainly would have enjoyed a surrogate who thought getting up for night feedings was no big deal. SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T have a distaste for changing diapers? Someone who actually liked to fill out forms when I went for the mortgage. Someone who'd stand in for me during that time of the month. Someone to tell off someone I don't want to tell off myself. Someone with the time to do my explaining when I don't feel like doing it mvself. PLEASE UNDERSTAND. I'm not one to shirk responsibility. I'll do my share and more than my share I wouldn't think of letting a mere surrogate'go to the theater for me. , And if I tell a friend I'll meet her for lunch. I wouldn't expect my surrgoate to drop everything just to go to lunch for me. I would treat a surrogate very well. She could have anything she wanted to eat in my house while waiting for me to give her something to do. She could have a room of her own. All my hand-me-downs. She wouldn't have to worry about my giving her the job of having babies for me. I wouldn't think of asking her to do that for me. Not at my age.

From The Principal By Stanley Kol/cn Primip.il. toner ( ape Ma\ Regional High School

We had a chance to see some of the family jewels last week in the form of our graduates currently in college who returned to discuss theiracademic success and. disappointments with our staff and students They came from Princeton. Rutgers. Delaware. Franklin and Marshall. Michigan State. Penn State. South Florida. Southern Connecticut. Trenton State. Fordham and West Point. They met with our current seniors to share their experiences, and they met with many of their former teachers to share some very meaningful memories. The event is sponsored annually by our National Honor Society, and each vear it is a day of genuine pride for this school. OUR PRIDE IN our graduates is. of course, not limited to those students who select higher education. and there are many opportunities for us to call on the resources of our most outstanding alumni in business and the trades. However, during the break in semesters for our college alumns we seize this opportunity to invite them back to their alma mater as a showcase of the academic best that we have produced. It is a great day for all of us.

For the teachers there is no greater reward than having a former student say that they now appreciate the demands made upon them in high school that produced success in college. IT IS ONE of the most treasured psychic rewards of this profession when a student returns to tell a teacher that his or her effort has not been wasted. For our current students it is an inspirational visit that we provide. These youngsters get to see their former schoolmates refurn with a new air of selfassurance and catalogue of "war stories" about exams and roommates, college food and parties, and the sense of independence in a life away from home. IT IS AN example of our showcasing our best role models in an unabashed attempt to motivate our student body^ Seeing a familiar face with an added air of sophistication and a new sense of accomplishment can work wonders. Whether or not the visit of our alumni inspired 10 or 20 youngsters to work harder on their studies, we will probably never be able to measure. What we were able to see was the pride of our staff, students, and alumni felt for this high school on one of the most pleasant days in our calendar.
