The place to be § The library provided a quiet haven for all those seeking a place to study and acquire extra knowl- edge. Often times one would see several students seated with mounds of books and other material spread before them while working feverishly to com- plete their work. It was times like this when the students appreciated the help of librarians, aids, and the vast resources which the library had to offer. Many times the students would congregate in the li- brary to see their friends. 20 ACADEMICS The guidance office also served the students as a place to go to talk to coun- selors and to be advised and informed of their cred- it requirements and college options. Both the library and the guidance office were always filled with students because that was the place to be for no mat- ter what the reason. By Krystal Williams Final check ...

So unique in every way The special education students worked hard to strengthen their weak areas and improve those areas in which they ex- celled. The effort put forth by these students was very commendable. These ex- ceptional people required special help to further de- velop their talents, abili- ties, and needs. They worked endlessly on reading, math, and map skills. Work books and 22 ACADEMICS filmstrips were often teaching materials used. There was much discus- sion in these special classes — discussion which ranged from workbooks to the lives of the students. Each developed a sense of pride in their work and self-satisfaction in their ac- complishments. They could hold their heads high just knowing that they had worked hard-to develop their sphere of knowledge to a greater capacity than ever before. The special education classes took an adventurous trip to Bays Mountain in the spring. This trip was in lieu of the Special Olympics. By Krystal Williams It’s easier than you thought ...
