Special kids, special care Added to the curriculum this year was a program that supported the ef- forts of the entire school system. Learning disabilities was organized to help students with reading and writing difficulties. Problem areas were modi- fied to individualize the task. Mrs. Mary Ann Decatur, course instructor, said, The program coordinates the efforts of teachers, counselors, and adminis- trators cooperation has helped to make the program a success. ln the future the class will also provide special career units and a work-study pro- gram. All junior and senior students en- rolled in the special education class, located in C-building, were on a job placement program. Students attend- ed class the first three hours and ob- tained class credit for working the last half of the day. Students found their own jobs and were graded through conferences with the employer. Although the work aspect of the class was important, students were able to enjoy other activities, both in and out of class. Such activities includ- ed educational and pleasure field trips to Haysville State Bank, the Municipal Airport, skating, bowling, and of course to practice for Special Olympic events. Miss Laura Spears said, One sees the students grow academically, so- cially, and emotionally. We, as teach- ers, see them in different situations and watch them grow and accept life. 1!

However, most students took advantage of the information and facili- ties offered. The room was often filled with classes searching for information for a class project or individuals looking for simple enjoyment. The annual Book Fair was held in one of the rooms attached to the main li- brary. Students were able to enter the room only after checking their coats and purses in to library aides assigned the duty. This resulted from large thefts in preceeding year. However, this did not lessen the turn out. March was the beginning of the Chi- nese New Year, the Year of the Ser- pent. ln observance of the new year, a display was set up in the library show- ing different types of Chinese dress and age-old Chinese traditions. Stu- dents were able to view various items and actually taste Chinese tea and cookies. Ms. Becky Johnson made ar- rangements for the display. 2 1! Much time and thought is spent as T1 Terry Trissler, senior, selects an infor- mative book from the many available. 2! Mr. George Baird, librariang Mrs. Ruth Wiseman, library clerk. 3! Throughout the day, library aides assist students by checking outbooks and magazines and maneuvering the microfilm view- ers.
