A 4. .. J. M 1 212 sl mfr ..... Cn The we . iJ 3Js QI.. Training On-The-Job-Training is a special educa- tion course which prepared students for the world of work. Students learned to cope with the work of a real iob and become a self-supportive and solid citizen of the com- munity. Job Developer Paul Ytunnalde's 26 students who participated in the experience received school credit for their efforts. Through O.J.T. students learned new skills and developed old ones as well. Students were given a position on campus with groundsmen, the cafeteria, or with office personnel as aides to develop those skills. If the students grades and attendance records were good, Mr. Ytunnalde gets them an out- side iob and follows up to make sure they are doing as well outside of school as in. For the first time in O.J.T.'s history, they gave worker of the month awards, which were donated by Pizza Pit Stop and Creative Awards. The January winners were senior Teresa Alvarez and junior Cheryll Wells. The February winner was Edward Bober. Three students have developed excellent skills and maintained community iobs along with con- tinuing their responsibility toward their edu- cation. The program has been in existence since the late 1970's here and encourages good public relations. The working students were very supportive of the program because of the people involved. Their energy and per- sonal assistance in the program has proven to be very vital. Program Director Raul Ytunnalde came to Cholla in 1980 from the Personnel Depart- ment and established guidelines which in- cluded good student attendance, work skill improvement, and good work habits. - By Lisa Romo Top left Raul Ytunnalde, Center lelr, senior Teresa Alvarez, junior Cheryl Wells and Mrs. Doe.

.TI M.E.S.A. Project Math Engineering Science Achievement, known as MESA, is a proiect to help students decide in what field of math or science they wanted. Ms. Yvonne Clay, the sponsor for MESA stated, ul am interested in minority students going into the fields of math and science. I wanted to be part of that. Stu- dents were also made more aware of new developments in those fields. Ms. Clay took some of her MESA students to the Science-Expo display at El Con Mall and to the Flandrau Planetarium. A bridge building contest was held at the Kiva Audito- rium at the University of Arizona January 25, 1986 for all MESA students who attended. The bridges had to be made of 3 boxes of flat wooden toothpicks and glue. There was a total of 25 students who par- ticipated in the MESA program this year. - By David Taylor O M.E.S.A.

They also show pride in the sports they participate in as well as their school.
