Showcase of Talents [APRIL
7, 2001] 
Talent:
Think of the word, apply it to Lincoln Community High School, and whom do you
think of? Our recently honored basketball star Greg Alexander? Sports is not the
only place you’ll find all-stars. How about Kyle Sitton? Haven’t heard of
him? Well, the talents of Sitton and many other LCHS students were on display
Thursday evening at the second annual LCHS Showcase of Talents. From 6:30 to
8:30, any and all could walk the halls of LCHS and admire the many skills of our
next generation.

 |  
        | From
cookies in Ms. Silano’s Culinary Arts room to entertainment centers outside of
Mr. Spear’s woodworking shop, the many and varied skills could be seen, felt,
heard and tasted (yum)! For the record, Sitton is a junior in Mr. Parrott’s
welding class. He made the 7-foot-tall "welding man" on display in the
gym foyer. Mr.
Jim Moore, the electronics teacher, demonstrated an electronic car, built by his
students, that would change direction whenever it sensed an object in front of
it. In Mr. Moore’s computer classes the students learn how to assemble a
computer from "parts" to "power on!" In
Ms. Welsh’s advanced biology class, students had constructed displays of cell
and city models, giving insights for comparisons between the real and the micro
worlds.    
 Some
displays taught you things without you realizing it. The students from the math
classes were playing miniature golf on a course they constructed themselves. The
lesson? No, not how to subtract strokes from your score, but a hidden lesson in
geometric angles. Ms.
Chamberlain’s display for the Survey of Family and Consumer Science class
concentrated on the importance of milk. Students made milkshakes for
consumption. They also took donations for Child Abuse Awareness Month, with
proceeds going to DCFS. This class, formerly known as home ec, is doing a good
job preparing its students for the "real world" after graduation. In
Mr. Parrott’s welding class, students learn basic and advanced welding
techniques, such as MIG and TIG welding. Plaques for top honors, awarded from
competitions over the past six years, are proudly displayed in the woodworking
shop.

 His
woodworking students learn the basics about using the tools and safety, at the
beginning of the school year, and work throughout the year on various projects.
The large desk, built by Dani Moser, on display outside of the woodworking shop,
was an example of the fine craftsmanship of Mr. Spear’s students. Ms.
Silano’s culinary class was, probably, the most popular. The delicious food
made by her students was eagerly gobbled up by parents and students alike. Upstairs,
in the band room, a new school anthem composed by students Jason Yarcho and Kyle
Pepperell could be seen and heard.      Not
on display at LCHS, but a project that can be seen in the Mayfair subdivision,
is a 1½ story house in the midst of construction by students involved with the
Lincoln Land Technical Education Center (LTEC). Under the guidance and tutelage
of Bill Marquardt, area students bus out to the building site daily. They learn
basic construction skills and put those skills to work. After completion, the
house will be sold to the highest bidder. Any profits go toward the house to be
built by next year’s LTEC students. This is the 35th year for
building houses by LCHS students. These projects,
and many more that were on display, were ample proof of the abundant talents of
the kids attending LCHS. With the instruction and guidance of the dedicated
teachers of LCHS nurturing this talent, our next generation appears to be in
good hands. [Jim

            short lesson in cooperation. |  
            | You’re
            in third grade and one day you are given: 
              1 piece of colored paper1 sheet foilcolored pencilsstick glue5 sticks
                and
                a partner. It’s
            the partner thing that’s the biggie. It can work for you or
            against you, as you’re about to find out. Day 1 Now
            Officer Montcalm is standing in front of your class and explaining
            that today is a planning day. You have a few minutes to work out
            what you will be doing with these materials. Tomorrow you must
            create something, and you want to make it good. You’re
            given some guidelines: 
              One person can go for
                help. You must decide together who it will be.You must work out
                together what you will be making.
                Then
                the tough part — which one of you will be responsible for
                storing and retrieving the materials. Only one of you is allowed
                to do it.

             Day 2 The
            next day Officer Montcalm returns, and the responsible partner must
            go get your stuff so you can get going on making your sure-to-be
            stunning creation. You have only 15 minutes, so time is at a
            premium. Time goes quickly. Now the
            real lesson Everyone
            must show what they made and talk about why they got it done or why
            not. West
            Lincoln-Broadwell third-grade teacher Mrs. Boyer points out that the
            projects that came together the best were done by the partners that
            cooperated the best. She could see the children learned a lot in the
            process about cooperation — that more gets done better when you
            work together with someone rather than against each other or even
            alone. Officer
            Rich Montcalm visits schools in the Lincoln area teaching kids about

            Fair 2001 High
            school students meet real world [MARCH
            15, 2001]  Job
            Fair 2001 kicked off Wednesday morning at Lincoln College and lasted
            all day. This was the second annual Job Fair in Lincoln, designed to
            give juniors and seniors experience in landing and keeping jobs.
            Twenty local companies, clubs, and organizations pitched in to help
            today’s youth. |  
            | Last
            year’s fair began with 12 students; this year about 30 attended.
            All of the local high schools were invited, but only one student
            each from Illini Central, Hartsburg-Emden and Mount Pulaski joined
            Lincoln Community High School’s students. Coordinator Wanda Rohlfs
            hopes to see the program grow to 50 student participants each year.   [Brenda Silano explains dining etiquette for
            business lunches.]
 The
            participants were welcomed to the fair by Jim Xamis. After the
            opening, the students attended four different sessions. The first
            session, "Planning, Labor Information, and Jobs of the
            Future," helped students reflect on meaningful and lucrative
            careers. "Getting a Job" coached the participants on
            living with reality, budgeting and comparing income to expenses. The
            next session, "Applying," guided students through
            application blanks, resumes and letters of application. The final
            instruction session gave students pointers on "Keeping the
            Job": punctuality, teamwork, interpersonal skills, positive
            attitudes, and getting along with co-workers and employees.     Beginning
            with lunch, the afternoon activities allowed the students to
            practice the things they learned. During the luncheon, the students
            were taught proper dining etiquette for a lunch meeting with a boss
            or prospective boss. A style show followed the luncheon. Before the
            fair, the models in the style show shopped at local secondhand
            clothing stores for appropriate interview attire. Participants
            observed that people are able to dress well for interviews without
            breaking the budget.

 After
            the fashion show, students completed mock interviews with people
            from local companies who regularly hire applicants. Each student was
            slated to complete two 20-minute interviews. The interviews were
            assigned based on the applications each student submitted to
            register for Job Fair 2001. The day was concluded by an awards
            ceremony, directed by Todd Lowman, in which students received
            acknowledgement for their participation. The
            following companies, clubs and organizations supported the fair
            by sending presenters, contributing financially and donating
            experienced interviewers: Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital,

            and continuation of this program rests on the participation,

            speaking. Tristan Lemme performed a dramatic interpretation of
            "The Perfect Ganesh," by Terence McNally. Doug Rohrer and

            history, geographyand technology merge
 [MARCH
            10, 2001]  On
            Tuesday morning, eight junior-high students displayed five
            historical projects for the African PowerPoint Contest. Each
            seventh-grade student in Lincoln Junior High created a PowerPoint
            presentation from the things they learned and researched during
            Black History Month. The best presentation from each geography class
            was selected, and the class winners competed to be the school
            winner. |  
            | Todd
            Dugan, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Lincoln Junior
            High, created the competition for two reasons. First, the
            competition was a way for students to increase their interest in
            black history; and second, the means of presenting their newly
            acquired knowledge integrating technology and education.   
             In
            honor of Black History Month, Dugan’s social studies classes
            studied the five regions of Africa throughout February. Dugan chose
            one country from each of the five regions for the students to study:
            Democratic Republic of Congo (central), Egypt (northern), Kenya
            (eastern), Nigeria (western) and South Africa (southern). During one
            class period, Dugan and Carol Gleason, who is the technology teacher
            and county coordinator, taught the social studies students how to
            build PowerPoint presentations. For the remainder of that week, the
            students worked on their presentations in class and after school. After
            learning about Africa and PowerPoint, the students inserted the
            information they researched into their own unique presentation. The
            projects included population and physical statistics, bits of
            historical information, language and religious percentages, and real
            photographs.   [to

             | 
             All
            of the projects were judged, and the best project from each class
            was entered into Tuesday’s competition. The winners in each class
            received a Coke and candy bar as a prize: Tyana Maxey, Seth Goodman,
            Kristina Allen and Karlie Pleasant, Brittany Uhlry and Elise Valdés,
            and Patty Carmitchel and Shanae Goodman. After
            the winners from each class presented their PowerPoint projects to
            their peers, parents and teachers, the winning project was selected.
            Patty Carmitchel and Shanae Goodman’s PowerPoint project, "A
            Mini Version of Africa," won, and they received gift
            certificates to Family Video.   [The judges
            decided that Patty Carmitchel and Shanae Goodman’s PowerPoint
            project, "A Mini Version of Africa," was best.]

 This
            is only the first year for the African PowerPoint Contest, and Todd
            Dugan plans to do it again, next February. He was "excited that
            it went so well," and believes that the students "learned
            a lot about Africa, and at the same time had fun." When asked
            if he will change the assignment in any way next year, Dugan
            commented that he hopes to address current events more. Carol
            Gleason complimented the project as a great way to integrate
            technology and curriculum. [Jean

            | This
            award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to

            who attends Lincoln Junior High, was nominated for this national
            award by Kathy Litherland, a teacher at the school. Kristina
            will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official
            Yearbook, which is published nationally. "Recognizing
            and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in

            summer camp opportunity available
             [MARCH
            15, 2001]  Junior
            high school and high school students have an opportunity to attend
            summer camp offered by the Touch of Nature Environmental Center at
            Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. These camps combine
            adventure skills such as canoeing, caving, camping and hiking with a
            challenge to both physically and mentally develop an awareness and
            respect for our environment. |  
            |  Through
            a series of activities, campfire discussions and presentations,
            students are involved in current environmental issues, which will
            help them become problem-solvers of the future. This appears to be
            an excellent opportunity for any student interested in the field of
            conservation. This
            year's programs include Ozark canoeing expeditions for high school
            students and the Ozark Riverways Canoe Trip for sixth- to
            eighth-grade students. Program information has been sent to all high
            school and junior high schools in Logan County.
