Students Reach Toward Goals . '- Special Education at Centennial de- veloped further and expanded to include not only department head Ken Katzen, but also Mrs. Amanda Hudson, Mrs. Betty Bethards, and Miss Lucy Jenks. This program was incorporated with the concept of mainstreaming, which com- bines the education of the educationally disabled with the regular flow of students. Special Education met the needs of Cen- tennial students who had not yet attained basic proficiency. Students needing help in one or more areas received intense one- to-One instruction. Except for these spe- cial classes, handicapped students were taught in regular classes. Each of the forty-two students strived to achieve both short and long-term proficiency goals developed by the Special Education De- partment. To sum up the department's enthusiasm for its program, Mr. Katzen said the most satisfying part of his job was to see people learning.

A day did not pass at Centennial when the student was not beckoned by morning announcements to join others who shared a common interest or goal. The halls were not emptied each afternoon at 2:30. Instead, mem- bers hurried to attend meetings for upcoming activities. Fads created new clubs which took their place among the already es- tablished organizations. The Fris- bee Club spun its way into exis- tence during the warm days of springg the Flying Club sought yet higher altitudes. Class boards expanded to allow more members and activities. The Math Team exercised mental genius which ' enabled them to take the county 5 championship. Girls found enjoy-.N mem in the siyx Ball Club. The jf, ggfvt-f Os 'O-3 ,x student had but to find a spot for - , himself in the extracurricular world. ,YYVCK i Whether the student led cheers, played an instrument, or danced in a marathon, he enjoyed the time which he spend enriching his school experience. OPPOSITE: The overwhelming response to the first road rally encouraged the juniors to sponsor a second contest in the spring. Drivers combined their skills with those of their navigators to plan a course which would involve less time and mileage. As the contestants report in, Rose Sharbaugh col- lects data while Bill Doyle tallies the rc- sults from the times and mileages.

The Flying Club experienced the thrill of flight when they were treated to a ride in a hot-air balloon, the Himmel Hoch. Organizations 59
