Special Education emphasizes Eighteen students were enrolled in this year's special education class. Mr. Allister Hanson, who teaches the class, presented a surprisingly large range of subiects including social studies, English, and math. The academic classes are small, providing Mr. Hanson with the opportunity to give individual instruction. A portion of each day was set aside for practical work experience, this consisted of work around the campus with the eventual goal of part time iobs off campus. The stu- dents did a commendable job of landscaping the area around their classroom. The mudholes that had persisted for so many years were filled in, then large round rocks were placed on top and shrubbery planted around the edge, resembling a formal garden. Audio The purpose ofthe Audio-Visual program is to help teachers present materials to students more effectively. Individual teachers are shown how to make use of available materi- als. New equipment, such as motion projec- tors, has been added this year. A class has been created to teach students about the Audio-Visual Program. The students in this class were Pat Edwards, Kelly Purdom, Geary Hodges, and Ken Parks. The co- ordinator of this department is Mr. Efton Pritchard. N iob opportunities 36
