Special Services Faculty Personnel Whether it was by cleaning the halls for the messy students or making our meals for us, student-faculty personnel services were extremely appreciated during the year -in more ways than one. The cafeteria workers started their jobs early in the morning, setting up for the breakfast crowd. They also began prepar- ing the food which came from ARA Service for the lunch periods. They ended their jobs after every single student had cleared the lunehroom and everything was cleaned up. The custodians worked night and day cleaning out the garbage cans, sweeping the floors, cleaning the chalkboards, and mak- ing things much more convenient for the school day. Their jobs were certainly not easy at times: fifteen-hundred teenagers can make some pretty goodsized messes! But we certainly did appreciate all of their efforts.

Special Services Special Faculty Special Education is probably one of the most overlooked departments this year. The special education is offered to those stu- dents interested in a slower and more per- sonal classroom situation. ln this depart- ment the basic subjects were offered along with the Vocational and Work programs. The teachers were very interested in the students that they worked with. They felt that they were helping the students meet their needs of acceptance, gratitude, and praise for their efforts. Although the students are in a special department, they are very enthusiastic in showing school spirit by joining school ac- tivities. The teachers have done very good jobs with the students and their accom- plishments should be highly acknowledged. Other faculty members who were of a special help were librarians. They orga- nized a very resourceful learning center for all students whether for an involved term paper or for recreation reading to use.

Album hrough rying Times We've all indefinitely had times when we've said to our- selves. l sure could use a friend right now. lt is not uncommon to be frenzied after that two- and-a-half page examination or that startling oral report you just gave: in fact. it's quite nor- mal. When we look at the pictures of our friends, we will remem- ber all the people we shared laughs and cried withg we will remember that hilarious date and that awful heartbreaking romance. We will remember thcjoys ofthose A's and the dis- appointments ofthe D's. We shall reflect on those 'i 'V i mornings we couldn't be dragged from the bed and the afternoons we had to stay for detentiong those many nights of homework and those few of freedom. Those mornings we knew that report cards awaited us in homeroom will also haunt us. The conversations we had at lunch will bring us a few laughs but the agony of returning to class at the bell will bring back the moans. Not a all the times in high school were bad: not all were good. Many were rough and many were smooth. ln fact, there was quite a nice conglo- moration of the two. After we have left this high school we will be on our own. The real world may seem par- ticularly easy or particularly rough, depending on how the student did in his high school years. The real world will be much more different. No matter what the times are like. then, we will have those high school remembranees. We will have already come Through Trying Times.
