H GOALS SOUGHT EARNESTL Y There were several areas in the curriculum to take care of the special needs of our student body. Going hrst to the 'migrant work study which Mrs. Simmons supervised we saw many students working at various jobs throughout the day Une such person was Connie Wgueria. She was training to be a clerical secretary, working on secretarial machinery. Another hard worker was Janette Duarte who worked part-time with the handicapped students at the Junior High, and atthe preschool center at Luke. Adolpho Comacho worked in the cafeteria for food service. He also took care of the tickets in the morning All in alt there were approximatehf 20 locations to work on campus. The learn and earn program for migrant students had strict standards. They received a credit for doing their job, so they had to do it welt The migrant work study program is federalh' funded and it was essentialhf a career survival back-up class. One of the activities they were striving for this year was Project Mexico . They held money making projects such as the Karate Clinic on Oct. 22nd and this also included banquets and works shops held during the year. Another very important department was Special Education, headed by Mrs. Leia Stoleson. Too often people feel the students in these classes are different, but the truth is they are the same as you and L These people may ha ve learning or physical disabilities, but they can hold jobs and even build things. Mrs. Stoleson described Pete, Tammy, Milton, Mark and Mervin as a very close knit group. They said the students hemed each other out and were also guided by Ricky Lutz, who was student aid hrst hour. He acted as a big brother to the others. While these classes in vol ve a very small percentage of Dysart High School students, they are a welcome and intergral part of our school 75
