hour. Detention was assigned for two main reasons, tardies and goof- ing off in class. Students who decia- ed not to go to detention were sus- pended. The Special Education class fluc- tuated in its size; it was possible to have as many as twenty-eight stu- dents per teacher for the resource program. These students could be average to above average in intel- lect, but needed individualized in- struction to overcome a disability. “You really have a lot of empathy for the students when you try to read words in a strange language.” said Patricia Pederson, leader of the Special Ed. program. A aisability of- ten found was visual perception, such as seeing an “'e’ asa 'c”, or reading words backwards. These disabilities could seriously impair reading comprehension but they were solved by many methods, one being the use of larger type in a book that read exactly the same as the book’s normal copy. In conclusion, the “trivial pursuits’ of life, the job market, and the inevi- tability of college English classes, were some of the possibilities for which the English Department pre- pared students.

No, no estudie.” Oh-oh!! This was not the response students of Spanish wanted to give to the question. Three teachers helped 334 students learn as much Spanish as they could. The Spanish honors classes, which were looked upon as a plus by col- lege admissions boards, had the double distinction of writing compo- sitions and a harder grading scale than regular classes. Glen Fong maintained that the purpose of his French classes was To communicate via French.” One of the highlights of the year was seeing Fong’s genuine French mov- ies. The more advanced students read the stories of Guy de Maypas- sant in addition to their regular te- ious drill work. Glen Fong also had the “honor” of ruling detention after school.
