For the first time in Sterling Township High School history students draft their own behavior guide. The code offers clear rules on what to do and wear, aiming to reduce uncertainty and prevent protests. If the code is not followed by choice, a stricter code may be imposed to keep students enrolled.
Sterling High School students follow a detailed conduct code covering behavior, appearance, property respect, and safety. They must avoid smoking and alcohol, be good sports, notify parents of delays, show responsibility, and limit public affection. Dress should be neat, makeup and jewelry modest, belts and hair neat, and no jackets in class. Students must protect school property, return lost items, avoid litter, and not damage others. Safety rules require orderly halls, car safety for drivers, obey traffic laws, parking in assigned spaces, quiet cars, and no unlicensed driving. Open communication between students, faculty, and parents is essential for mutual respect.
A student advisory warns freshmen at SHS to beware illegal organizations and unscrupulous upperclassmen selling passes, props, and dubious items including a Nazi dress suit reward. It notes elevator ticket fraud and rumors of a Black Book Club, urging vigilance against these campus scams.
A reader letter page offers light questions about family rules and social norms. The anonymous exchange includes concerns about curfews and study, body image, and a caller with a stuttering speech issue seeking guidance from Hopeless Dear Addie in a humorous advice column style.
A lighthearted column notes an eight year old’s unusual speech raising questions about maturity. A teen boyfriend’s intense biology interest is joked about, while a reader is urged to reconsider the relationship. The Junior Class plans candy and ice cream sales to fund the upcoming prom.
