. . - < A. . Joyride III fdR By Libby Demp Forrest y 2**-^ J 1 have this wonderful dream. Someday No. 1 and No. 2 are going to get married and . I'll be coming for a visit. The first thing I'm going to do when I arrive — even before I ask how they're doing — is to come into their house, slam the door real hard and shout. "What's to eat?" I am going to run to the refrigerator, open it and shout again. "Is that it? Don't you ever go shopping?" The next thing I'm going to do is run over to the TV set and turn it up and then on. And I'm going to sprawl in front of that TV set oblivious to everything. THERE'S MORE to my wonderful dream. In the next sequence we're going to be sitting down to dinner and I'm going to knock over my milk. After dinner I'm going to push my chair back and look blank when people start talking about whose turn it is to do the dishes. Finally I'll just sneak off to the living room and get lost again in the TV. I have to admit for years I've been intimidated by a comment made by an elderly woman I once ran into at a playground. I was watching No. 1 play on the swings while the woman and I conversed. SHE SEEMED TO KNOW everything about toilet training. how to handle temper tantrums and what to do about unruly children. I admitted my No. 1 liked to jump up and down on the couch. "My son did that one time," the woman told me. "But only one time. I immediately put a stop to it." "How did you do that?" I asked hesitantly "I said to him 'When you're grown up and get married I'm coming to your house for a visit and I'm going to jump up and down on your codch.' That was the end of it — he never dared do that again," the woman told me. THE NEXT TIME No. 1 jumped up and down on the couch, I was ready for him. "When you're grown up and get married I'm coming to your house for a visit and I'm going to jump up and down on your couch," I told No. 1. "Well, I'm not going to let you in," No. 1 said, still jumping. When No. 2 came along and got into the jumping up and down on the couch-stage, I told him. "When you're grown up and get married, I'm coming to your house for a visit and I'm going to jump and and down on your couch." No. 2 stared at me with his big, blue, innocent eyes, and said. "You'll probably be dead Dy then". He never missed a jump.

From The Principal By Stanley Kotzen ■ Principal. l«mrr C ,ipc May Rceion.il Hieh SzHimiI

Six tfmes each year, eight people sit around a table and talk about you, the people of Cape May County The eight people are highly trained. vyelPeducated, well paid, and highly criticized. Each one is deeply committed to the education of the youngsters in this county, particularly at the secondary school level, and when they gather, you would not be surprised by the topics of conversation. The eight are this county 's high school principals and the discussions are about making our schools a better place to learn and work. WE TALK ABOUT student performance and staff performance and parent performance and our performance as we share information about what works and what doesn't work in our respective schools. It is the bond of common responsiblity that brings us together as we share burdens that are unfamiliar to anyone outside the room where we gather. There is humor and the cameraderie that exists in a manner similar to that which must have been felt by wartime encounters that found total strangers sharing a foxhole in an effort to survive en enemy attack. EACH OF US in the room knows what it_® like to be figuratively^ and literally "shelled ", and this is our brief interlude in the battle

to enjoy the company of our buddies. You are the major topic of conversation as our constituents and our critics, and we spend most of our time together helping each other piece together a plan that will help each one of us do a better job for you. We want each of our own schools to be the best it can possibly be. but not at the expense of another school. FOR MANY it might be incomprehensible that the principal of Lower Cape May Regional and the principals of Middle Township and Wildwood sit around a table and share remedies to those same knotty problems that we all face — student achievement and parent involvement. We give each other information and support before our hours is up and each of us is off to another round of meetings and confrontations. I look forward to these brief occasions because I have developed such a respect for my colleagues. They are quality people who care a great deal about the students and staff in their buildings, and they all speak proudly about the communities in which they work. THEY ARE: Dan Money. John McVey. Mike Uipriano. Sister Marie Rudegeaire. ' Ernie Harper. Susan Smith, and Lyon Brodlon. Our meetings are always

to short, because each of us is on what often appears to be a treadmill to oblivion. These opportunities to see ach other and share concerns and solutions are necessary. Nothing seems insurmountable when you know you are not alone. We smile a lot over lunch and exchange tales that only we can appreciate. All too soon the phone rings, a messenger appears, and we are each on our way back to the private demands of responsibility. It's been a pleasure, again. VIP Meeting DENNISVILLE - A meeting of Very Interested Parents (V.I. P.) will be held 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 8. at the Dennis Township School.
