LRC Helping in a Quiet Wa by Tracy Steffen Hempstead's Central Learning Center provides students with a quiet place for study. Senior, Heidi Kelley said, The library is a good, quiet place to get your work done. The main function served by the learning center is supporting the school cur- riculum by offering aid through materials and ser- vices. It also provides re- creational reading and lis- tening experiences for the students. The academic opportuni- ties made available by the LRC are: books of all kinds: periodicals such as news- papers and magazinesg a pamphlet file filled with information on various sub- jects: and records ranging from classical to rock. The LRC is also equipped with audio visual material which includes the com- puter, filmstrips, tapes, and video tape programming. The LRC's audio visual specialist is Tom Faulkner. Other members of the learning center staff in- clude the two librarians, 1ohn Burgart and Elizabeth Morgan. Rose-Ann Furlong joined the staff this year as an associate. Chris Mitt- valsky is also an associate. The secretary for the learn- ing center is Sally Ein- walter. Students can earn credit for assisting in the opera- tions of the center.

The classes range from games of low to basketball to contract ski- ing. Many of the classes aren't required but classes like swimming and a type of dance class are required for graduation. A student must take one six-week course of either square dancing or some other form of dancing course every two years. To fulfill the swimming requir- is Yours ement a student must pass out bf advance swimming. Some of the courses are contract classes which a student fulfills his or hers requirements outside of school. Contract skiing for instance, the student goes to Sundown ski area and is taught by Sundown's professional instructors. One of the new classes is hunters' safety. In this course a student is taught gun safety and techniques of good hunting. In phys. ed. there is a class for any student. 103

We all stress academic excellence, said Tom Raw- son, chairman of the 12- man social studies depart- ment. There were no females in the department, which Rawson feels may be the reason for a certain lack of female opinions. Each department member does, however, do his best to present both sides of issues instead of trying to sell only his own views. This year the department went through the process of a Social Studies Curriculum Study. Rawson commented on this study. It would appear that we are going to have an additional two semester requirement for social studies courses. We spent a lot of time working on this study. A federal study in this area also reinforced what they found. 105
