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!

Stu- dents who chose a language class improved their skills to develop good learning skills and study habits. Oh English, again? was a famil- iar saying around B and C buildings. Students sometimes felt that Eng- Iish was not their favorite subject, however, the English teachers tried to interest the students with the mini-courses offered. These skills in English can be put to good use in a professional career later in life. Students enrolled in a mini-course in English could do anything from reading books in books and ideas to giving a movie review for radio and t.v. Other courses included in the program were: mystery and terror, myth and folklore, and man and ani- mals. Miss Carol Hinshaw, who recently taught in Florida and at Hutchinson, was a new teacher added to the de- partment. She said, I think the teachers and students are very pleasant and fun to work with. Walking through C-building stu- dents may have heard bits and pieces of language that were foreign to their ears. Students were heard singing in Spanish, acting out plays in German, and taking oral tests in French class. Spanish students took top honors in the Concurso, a contest where students expressed their talent by reciting poetry and prose, singing a Spanish song, or putting on a play. The International Dinner was held in December. German, French, and Spanish students prepared their fa- vorite foreign dish, which they took tothe dinner. Held in the 4-H build- ing, the food eaten included every- thing from the common taco to a French souffle. Students could be seen throwing darts and smashing confetti eggs at the annual French Mardi Gras. French students also participated in the French Concour, a contest held at WSU for all French students in Kansas. One big problem that students had in taking a foreign language was learning to speak with an accent. Students also had to learn how to stress the accent and in the right places. f'5r s-- N E 2 S I :S . ,.4' 'X Sul Q Q-' v'inl1-.-
