SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAlNULALtK - WhuiNtsuA i, Atutai urn Schools Marian Central begins a new school year Sch«i bri*<s "Opening day can be many things to many people," says Mike Heuvalman, a junior at Marian Central Cathoic High School. • An opening in the school's theatre is a well-planned, practiced event which often sets tiie stage mood for productions to come. * "In business," Heuvalman says, "an opening day suggests a showcase or display of one's best wares. At Marian Central, opening day combines an­ ticipation of a new year, new friends, new challenges and renewal of friendships, knowledge and, of course, our faith." Another school year began this week as teachers listened to Marian Central Principal Thomas Landers discussing effective education and a value- oriented environment. Referring to a study released earlier this year, "Effective Catholic Schools: An Ex­ ploration," and also to the 1981 "Coleman Report," Landers retmorced the concept that teachers play the most im­ portant role an day-to-day education. "Teacher dedication," says Landers, "is one key element that makes education work ... Marian Central Catholic cer­ tainly has that element." Striving for quality in education will be a goal for the new year at Marian, Landers said. "Opening day," Rev. Don Smithes said in his homily at the faculty Mass, "reminds each of us to plan for a new school year, but not to plan too tightly so as to leave no room for growth." • Some signs of opening day filled the main hallway at the school today. Posters indicated registration procedures. Studeilt guides provided by the student council assisted newcomers winding their way through the maze of everything from transportation to gym suits. Crisp new schedules identified Itoe school day for each student. What were dead, empty classrooms a day or two ago were alive again with new materials, pictures, plants and people. Red-and-white jerseys with spiked feet ruffle the newly- mowed grass. Tones of the school song emerge from the band room. Could a new Hurricane mascot emerge from the art room? Will those piles and piles of books ever be distributed? Mrs. Vickey Bottari, secretary, said, "The stacks of books didn't just suddenly ap­ pear...much planning and hard work went into those piles of neatly stacked, alphabetized texts and other materials." As one registering freshman put it, "Opening day of school is a little like a sneak preview."
