THE LAST DA YS Sr. trip Sr. day Laughter and joy were shared the day the seniors boarded the bus for K.C. and were off to Worlds of Fun. The day was carefree and lively but no risky business was in foul play. They played by the rules. As Mrs. Cully quoted, “It was very enjoyable and I guess it was because we had such a good, mature group of stu- dents.' Right: Wade Blake and Kelly Peace were in on the fun.

SPECIAL SERVICE INSTRUCTION Throughout the next few pages, you will learn about the aca- demic side of our school. Each teacher shown in this section played a vital part in the education of the students of B.H.S. There were, however, few specialized members of the faculty. Their work was of importance to those students who might have needed a little extra help. Although they had very different jobs, they all had a common goal-to help the students grow emotionally as well as academically. The counselors, both high school and jr. high, were there to assist the individual student with scheduling assessment, career, or per- sonal problems. They could go to their counselor for moral support as well as academic assistance. Mrs. Price, jr. high counselor, helped students, who were new to the ways of 7th grade, adjust to the routine. Mr. Andrews, high school counselor, helped students in regard to career choices and opportunities. Mrs. Harrison, the librarian, was in charge of supplying students and teachers with the best possible information in books, reference materials, and services of the library. She also provided for proper storage, classifi- cation, and cataloging of all materials. In addition to running the library, Mrs. Harrison occasionally had classes to teach the 7th graders of the proper uses of the library. Mrs. Wolfram taught the Educable Mentally Handicapped children in the special education department, both jr. high and high school. “My major goal is to make the students aware of the abilities they do have and help prepare them for their future.” Mrs. Akisson taught the high school Learning Disabilities and Mrs. Clark taught jr. high. There- fore. their jobs were essentially the same, they were responsible for teaching students who had a learning disability. After a student had been identified as learning disabled, they then went to the L.D. teacher to ,. receive extra help in any subject in which they Earhne Atkisson . .... Learning were having difficulties. This included any course Disabilities offered. Jim Andrews H.S. Counselor Cynthia Clark Learning Disorders Joy Harrison Librarian Phyllis Wolfram Special Education Mrs. Clark explained an important point to one of her stu- dents. Mrs. Atkisson watched two of her students as they worked with the computer. Students were referred by parents, teachers, and sometimes themselves. The referral was followed by testing, evaluation, and placement. They were placed in appropriate programs for the individual student. These teachers all performed special services for the stu- dent. They were, therefore, appropriately labeled Special Ser- vice Teachers. 24
