Career Education To develop in each student a measure of industrial skill, to discover and de- velop creative technical talents, and to develop problem-solving skills relating to materials and processes are just a few of the goals held by the Industrial Arts Department. Proud of their program and their view that trade schools are just as important as the academic colleges , this staff headed by Mr. Jerry Barshay strove to offer opportunities for exploratory experiences in individual fields, which were helpful in the choice of a vocation, and oppor- tunities for instruction in leisure-time activities and home repair. Like any other department, changes in the curriculum were made to account for new finds and rules, and the exploratory-work program was introduced. Studies on the new emision control devices were made by students in order for them to be able to pass the Class A Mechanics Test. Also, eight drafting students worked for experience at the Marietta Aluminum plant. Autoshop classes had the fun and learning benefit of visiting the General Motors Cor- poration later in the year.

The Special Education Department — their main goal was to reach out to those who had problems in reading, speech, and behavior. Headed by Mrs. Beverly Hazher, this team of 7 teachers used the individual touch , in which they placed more emphasis on the individual rather than the subject. This year, students in the program engaged in many interesting field trips, these included visitations to Warner Bros. Studios. Forest Lawn. Los Angeles County Art Museum, Griffith Park. La- Brea Tar Pits, Olvera Street, and the Music Center. Mrs. Hazher hopes to see counseling included in her program in future years. Ms Myrna Speclor Visual Aids 131
