A Decade Of Expansion Four wheels roll down the newly poured cement to' ward the yellow school bus. A cane guided by its owner, moves through the halls with a sense of purpose and belonging. Green Mountain is ever expanding its pro- grams for physically handicapped students. When Green Mountain High School opened in 1973, it was equipped to handle wheelchair students. Nancy Groth was its first student in a wheelchair. The wheelchair students this year are Brady Brad- shaw, Ted Jones, and Sharilyn Russell, who are all seniors. In the past, these special students have come from as far away as Westminister. This year, Brady Bradshaw rides the bus in from Arvada. He thinks the best thing about Green Mountain is the atmosphere. The friendly students and teachers will help me it I have a problem. They'll pick up my books, open doors, or move out of the way. Rita Couture said of Ted Jones, 1-le's a picture of courage. Sue Cielans, a freshman, and sophomore Lisa Davis are the schooi's first blind students. They have an aid who puts class notes into braille for them and translates their work for the teachers. Both girls have gone to some public schools in the past. I really like it here, re- marked Sue Cielans, She said the teachers are good about talking during lectures and not just putting notes on the board. Lisa Davis said, The students are really helpful They don't make fun of mefl The people at Green Mountain have been very ac- cepting of these students and have tried to make them feel at home. It's a privilege to have them attending here.

Ten Years Of Change Looking back ten years, GMHS resembled a construc- tion siteg there was no landscaping and it had a dirt parking lot. The school was clean and new, but uninter- esting graphically, as none of the murals were done, said Steve Meininger. We brought a sack lunch because the cafeteria was not finished, stated Jan Huling. Some of the teachers that helped open the school can remember these happenings as well as their original goals. Dennis Shepherd mentioned, I wanted to help intergrate computer programming into the mathematics which we have done to a certain effect? I was so glad to get a job the I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that my goals were self-centered. l wanted books for my American Short Story classg I wanted the MSLM war in my 4th hour class to stop, said Kathie Starkey. Additional changes in teachers have been their teach- ing techniques. As Tom Perault expressed, I learned throught experimentation that first you must have the students attention before you can teach anything. There- fore, I have become more of an actor than I was ten years ago. l was a student here, just our of Dunstan Jrg Highr If someone had told me Fd be teaching here in ten years l would shavebeen shocked, not just surprised, said John Miller. s Also vouge at the time were raggedhtattered, and torn clothing of all descriptions: mini-skirts and remnents of military clothing. Mini.skirts represented so much to teen-agers: a chance to be themselves, to be daringfto lrebell in an acceptable way, among their peers, ,re- marked Patti Cappellucci.
