They participated in regular school activities in those subiect areas in which they could benefit by sharing experiences with other students, such as physical education, home economics, typing, general mathematics, music, art, and vocational training for the many voca- tions offered by our shop program. They received instruction in basic academic subiects in a self-contained classroom. Here, reading, spelling, and mathematical skills were improved. Good citizenship and social studies were also a part of their curriculum, as well as health and the fundamentals of general science. Their future depended largely upon individual preparation by their teachers. The teachers saw their potential and did the utmost to make that potential grow into o reality. The teachers also had the opportunity to guide and participate in their vocational training. Untiring efforts were put forth by the teachers and counselors to place these young men and women in a part-time work- study program while still in school and to help them progress to a full-time job after graduation.
