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.
