Helping Students Make 5 Ms. Carla McKennett Q Mr. Chuck Mills Ms. Priscilla Schnell Ms. Dee Warnecke ateway High School was lucky enough to have three special education programs last year. The program included Emotional and Behavorial Disorders QEBD, Perceptual and Communitive Disorders QPCDJ, and Significantly Limited Intellectual Capaci- ty lSLlCl. The enrollment in each program has grown as it continued to expand its knowledge to help more and more students. The QEBDQ program was for the students with average or above average abilities, who for one reason or another were unable to handle some of the regular high school classes. The purpose of the program was to help the students socially, environmentally and academically so that the student would be able to continue with important classes. Mr. Chuck Mills was the teacher for all the EBD students. The PCD program has grown rapidly since 1976. lt started out with one teacher and fifteen students and increased to sixty students and three teachers. The students received academic help in English, Reading or Math. Many students in the PCD Program were working as artists, plumbers, carpenters, bank assistants, food servicing, retail merchandising mechanics or beauticians. The SLIC Program was specially designed to meet the educational needs of students who have a significant limited intellectual capacity. The SLIC program consisted of a work study which was designed to aid students with experiences. There were thirty-four students in this program. Special Education

Male Population Increase ome Ec enrollment at Gateway II 'I seemed to be growing every year. The male population exceeded the previous years. Statis- tically, Gateway contained the largest amount of male students in Home Ec courses than any other school. Sr. Steve Paul commented on his Food Funda- mentals class, lt's great for guys. We learn how to prepare various dishes and eat them too! Another unique and popular course offered was Contemporary Living. In this class, a new unit, Death and Dying, was explored. Students were involved with the crisis of death when they visited the mortuary and observed the process of embalming. In view of this, student teacher, Ms. Valerie Harrell said, lt was a fascinating experience. 1 U Student Teacher Val Harrell watches as Fr. Heather Peterson demonstrates how to frost a cake. 25 Soph.
