“Special Services Are Too Often Ignored In our school there were several people who were some- times overlooked. These were the people who came under the heading of Special Services. It would be hard to imagine a school system running smoothly without their aid. Each of these people had a specific task to complete. The custodians endeavored to keep the school neat and clean. They were here before anyone else in the morning and were usually the last to leave. It was the bus drivers responsibility to drive the student to and from school, in various weather and road conditions. The teacher’s-aides freed the teachers of several respon- sibilities and provided the opportunity for the students to re- ceive individual in-class instruction. The cooks provided a nutritiously balanced hot meal each day. Mr. Larson, the school business manager, kept tabs on the funds for the school and Mrs. Lingert handled the cor- respondence and kept track of the attendance records. Left custodians-Mr. Embrock, Mrs. Solberg, and Mark Buum. Above teacher’s-aides-Mrs. Diedtrich, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Quick, and Mrs. Hongslo.

It was designed so that high school students could help in the lower grades. There was, therefore, more individualized help for those who needed it and the teacher could work with his students on a one to one basis. The high school students involved, did this usually everyday at the same time, voluntarily giving up some of their own study hall time. However, this did vary, depending on the time of day the class met. The students picked the subjects that they wanted to help with, according to their personal interests. All grades and subjects were covered according to the needs of the class and teacher. Some classes, therefore, had more than one cross-age peer helper and some cross-age peer helpers had more than one class. Above, at left;Glenda Hughes helps the second graders with math.
