outdoor education Class of 84 aided by 60 DHS students Sixty juniors and seniors ventured out into o cold, and wet forest helping to make Outdoor Education a memorable experience for the class of 1984, (the sixth graders of Whitworth, Lyle, and Oakdale Heights Elementary Schools). Those who enrolled at Kilowan for the four-day trek were required to attend an earlier full-day session that oriented them with the camp and its surroundings. A new innovation was instruction straight from the teachers who would be going along with their respective schools. Once there, counselors faced cold nights, rainy days, and the unbelievable energy of the sixth graders, all passing in a blur of enthusiasm. They were able to help the children learn something about outdoor survival techniques, and contributed their talents to moke sure that the youngsters had the most positive experience possible. The counselors themselves became more aware of one another. For that week they had something in common, the kids.

The eleven members, along with five alumni and four adult advisors worked together on fund raising and fun activities. They operated booths at the Polk County Fair, Smileroo, and at the Christmas Bazaar. The fair booth was very profitable as the organization earned more than $400. H.E.L.P. expanded its paper collection program to the junior highs and to the district offices. The result was a saving for the schools and increased volume of paper waste to be processed. Bob Schiopen, advisor, summed up the year this way, While continuing to serve both school and community, the H.E.L.P. clubbers found satisfaction with the awareness that their work was valuable, educational, and profitable, as well. 10 H.E.L.P.
