ll W What did you think when you saw all those little ones trudging down the hall? Were the incoming sophomores really that tiny? If this was your idea, you were wrong. These children had come to spend some time with us at Foss. This was the first of the fifteen HEAD START programs in Tacoma to be held in a high school. HEAD START, a government funded program, was for pre-school children from low-income families. These youngsters did not have the same access to learning devices such as books, toys, etc. as did middle class children. This program enabled them to have the same opportunity as everyone else. Child Developement was a course offered to Foss students by Ms. Karen Murphy, the HEAD START instructor and her assistant, Ms. Susan Reece. The object of the class was to teach the high school students to be better future parents. For a ten week period, Foss pupils studied the growth and developement of a child as an individual in relationship to his environment. The high schoolers would help the little tots to button their coats, tie their shoestrings, and other parental responsibilities. lt gives the children a chance to have more attention,'l stated Ms. Murphy, and for those children that did not have any dads, the boys that came in to help gave them someone to relate to as a father imagef, The parents of the pre-schoolers were visited in their homes by Ms. Murphy, Ms. Reece, Mrs. Edith Westlin the school nurse, and other social workers. We all hoped to see the HEAD START program branch out into further parts of the community as the roots grew deeper at Foss.
