People Sometimes Overlooked . . . Darlene Crawford, teachers aid, helps two kindergarten students, Tommy McKee and Lan- dra Allan, to relate pictures with words. When people think of “school”, they think of kids walking busily about from class to class, studying hard for tests and exams, and going to many activities. Sometimes we over- look the little parts that help make school function as a whole group. Have you ever wondered what school would be like without a busi- ness manager to handle financial affairs? A secretary to handle corres- pondence? Busses to transport the kids to and from school in all kinds of weather? Nutritious meals? Custodians to keep the school clean and running efficiently? And Teachers aids to assist the teachers in their duties and to provide individual class instruction for students? These people, who are sometimes overlooked, are the “little parts’ that help make school function as a whole. Below: Teachers as well as students receive extra assistance in the classroom and out from our teacher’ aids: Nancy Fickbohm, Mary Jane Brenneise, Lois Hongslo, Avon Dietrich, and Gladys Johnson.

Students Take Part in Cross-Age Peer Help In the fall of 1971, the Cross-Age-Peer-Help program was first introduced at A.H.S. The program proved to be such a success that it was continued the second semester with growing response. The program was set up in such a way that students could volunteer their free time in study hall to be a teacher’s aid. The students were involved in varied types of classes such as art, spelling, and geography-to mention only a few. The grade school classes and some of the younger high school classes were assisted by the student volunteers. By having the students help with the teaching, the teachers were able to give more individual help to students who needed it. The student could also help an individual pupil in the classroom while the teacher gave instruction to the class. One reason the students liked the program so well was that they could see if they would like to be a teacher in the future. Each helper received a one-fourth credit for a minimum of 3 hours spent a week in the classroom per semester. Peggy Peterson instructs sixth-grade pupils working math problems on the blackboard.
