A little car trouble? Maybe you got a C on your report card? Your boyfriend is seeing someone else? Or maybe you just can't im- prove that bench press? So you think you have it rough? Well there are people who are less fortunate in this school, like those in the Special Resources Room, 103. These people come under much harsh criticism be- cause they are different due to dis- abilities they have no control over. One could consider these peo- ple over-achievers though, be- cause the things they do or learn don't come as easy to them as they would to the rest. This year about twenty students are receiving special help from Mr. Ross Reed and two aides, Ms. Lyla Dumke and Ms. Marty Oram. While these students are unique, the people who teach them have to be more unique than one could imagine. The students require a little more attention from their teacher, more of a one-on- one basis. The Resource Room teaches all students who have mental disabilities as well as those who are just slower learners. They are just regular kids try- ing to survive, said Mr. Reed. One may ask, well isn't that what the title programs are for? The an- swer is yes; it is just that these stu- dents are slower than the people in the title programs and they need the teacher's special atten- tion because they may not be able to concentrate with other students present. Some students who receive special attention in a particular subject may have the highest per- centage in their other classes. They may lack certain abilities that enable them to obtain a high grade in one of their classes, but in their other classes they are do- ing fine. By appealing to the students' desire for televisions and at the same time allowing tntoi to ob- serve each other's activities, Mr. Mel Rice introduced T.V O0. The Intro to Technology studei were instructed simply to report on the school's events as best they could. Along with T.V. 108 and the re- source classes, three others teach classes down senior hall. Mr. Russ Fisk spiced up World History classes with his fiery lecturing ideas. Mr. Tedd Stanisich kept seniors entertained with real-life examples, while keeping them in touch with our government sys- tem. Mr. Terry Thomas kept oth- ers interested in Business and Typing classes, while Miss Cyn- thia Ward took over instructing the fine art of speaking French. Reporters: Neil Nelson, Sam Buchanan.
