D.L.C. Students do well at special Olympics The 1987-88 school year was not uneventful for the Developmental Learning Center students. The older students started out full force in vocational areas this year working as custodians and cafeteria help. With the help of Job Training and IGA, Mike Grieser was hired to work in the store’s meat department. Eric Langrud and Verna Thompson were mainstreamed into the sixth grade class. Eric participated in the sixth grade play and traveled to Halsey with the class for the overnight field trip. The younger students were busy in the kitchen this year. They learned to prepare food items such as peanut butter sandwiches and spaghetti dinners. Working with computers and learning sign language were also an integral part of the curriculum. The students did well in sports competition this year and all qualified for state in chosen event. Development learning center stndents. teachers and staff: front row: Barb Wells. Amber Harris.

Dialog expands computer curriculum Begin, search, type, and logoff sounded familiar to students who used Dialog last year. Dialog is a computer company in Palamalto, California. People from all around the world can dial into Dialog by a computer modem and receive information about any subject they want. It is similar to Reader’s Guide,only on disk. Broken Bow High School purchased a copy of Dialog’s many programs for students and teachers to use. Mr. Ingram stated that, “Schools that have Dialog make the library’s use endless.’’ Classroom Instruction Program (CIP) is the name of the program at BBHS. This program was limited to students and teachers for classroom assignments only. When Dialog was used, the student was required to have a supervising teacher there for help. After they were through, a form had to bo filled out telling what information they received, and how long the student used Dialog. Many may think that the time is not important, but the use of Dialog costs $15 per hour and the time must be recorded for the school’s records. Many students and teachers found Dialog useful, especially the Current Issues class taught by Mr. Blackburn. “There is a lot of information available. It is also good because you do not have to be a big city to get a lot of information,” Mr. Blackburn said.

Electives offer variety With the one study hall limit, many students were forced to take more classes. The idea behind the one study hall limit was to enhance a student’s education. Classes the students are allowed to choose are called electives. Electives range from vocational classes to college prep. Freshmen are allowed three elective, sophomores are allowed four. Juniors can choose six elective classes and seniors may choose five. Classes categorized as electives offer students a chance to mold their education around their interests and life goals. Vocational classes include home economics which teaches students life skills. Industrial Arts teaches technology. Business courses help teach finance and Vocational Agriculture focuses on the life styles and traditions of rural Nebraska. Other courses are considered to be college prep. Advanced biology, chemistry, physics and computer classes prepare students for more advanced college classes. Lastly, there are the courses in the fine arts which teach the students about the “finer” things in life. TOP: Scott Chapin worts on a typing assignment.
