ls t it - L ff pecial programs are necessary for those who aren't average.

Charles Lovenstein and Edgerle were in charge of special education. Marie Ranker, para-professional, assisted them. Learning disabilities stu- dents have such a variety of abilities that each of these skills should be considered for each class they take. I use a lot of individualized in- struction. Each student has different skills so l try to fit their abilities to the task, Edgerle said. Tracy Dilling met with the gifted students. Dilling helped the regular class- room teachers in developing an appropriate program for each student. Chris Zouzas completed her 23rd year as school nurse. Zouzas screened vi- sion, checked students for scoliosis and assisted in Gail Shanelec's health and phys- ical education classes. Phyllis Dolezal attended classes and took notes for hearing impaired students. Through the help of six people, school programs were altered to give every- one a chance. - Kim Hanson

The I Dare You Award was given to juniors Scott Mullen and Kim Svaty, after being selected by a faculty committee which was ap- pointed by Principal Charles Bray. The winners received the book I Dare You and a certificate. Each year the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary sponsors the Kan- sas Girl's and Boy's State.

An award for sophomores was the Hugh O'Brien Award, which is sponsored by actor Hugh O'Brien. Joe Pilsl won this award over all other sophomores after he submitted an essay to be ranked by a special commit- tee. ln addition, Pilsl re- ceived a trip to the state con- vention where two delegates were chosen to represent Kansas at the national con- vention. lf you don't give awards and recognition, there is no way to praise the student for achieving, said Dennis Boepple, guidance counsel- or. - Denise Woodbury - Pam Schmidt HUGH O'BRlEN: Sophomore Joe Pilsl received the Hugh O'Brien Award. iPhoto by Kim Kohlsj GIRLS' AND BOYS' STATE DELE- GATES: ifront rowj: Kim Hanson.
