How We Get a Job Students in PVE were educated in many subject areas. Typing, English, and Driver ' s Ed were just a few offered courses. Almost every PVE student was given an outside job. The money they mad e went into savings accounts The students could withdraw money, but they didn ' t receive their bank books until they gradu- ated, PVE was established for those students needing extra help and attention At the same time students gained the opportu- nity of encountering actual business experience Upp left Chris Jones strikes a charming pose (or the camera upp ri Rowena Nicks and Wendy Morell enioy studying mid Miss Chicles observes students busy at work bot led Miss Chicles and Mr Orlowski converse about important topics bot rt Mr Orlowski lakes attendance — a necessity 67

Understanding Others Home Economics classes offered at LaSalle were designed to provide knowledge to any male or female wish- ing to take such courses. These classes gave students the opportuni- ties for skills to aid them for the future years. The most popular classes among students were Family Relations and Child Development, both dealing with actual responsibilities faced dur- ing married life. Sewing, needlepoint, and cooking classes aided students in learning inexpensive ways to make clothes and cook gourmet dishes. Within the Family Relations Course are many facts and methods of dealing with real life problems. Mrs. Lizzi is a fine and humorous teacher, who makes each day enjoyable. The class teaches high school students the problems that face every family at dif- ferent times within the family cycle. It is one of the harder courses at LaSalle yet considered easy by those people who know nothing about it. The class tells of doctor ' s theories on life and the handling of it. The pictures below are of the stu- dents in first hour Family Relations for the first eighteen weeks. The students put on a wedding every year — not for enjoyment but as a learning process to show all the problems that could occur if a wedding is not prepared correctly.

Sine Tangent Cosine In addition to the LaSalle mathematical curriculunn — algebra, high school math, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced courses for the college-bound student, such as calculus and analytical geometry — something new has been added. Nine new computers have been obtained to assist in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The math teachers were encouraged to use the computers as a supplementary aid in their courses of study. The computer programming class, taught by Mr. Myers, enabled the stu- dents to write programs for mathematical — type problems. Also, exit tests will be introduced this spring to determine future placement. Those unsuccessful students will be channeled into assurance classes. 68
