Survival Life skills and work study by Cheryl Iler Survival is the key word according to Iudy Kraus, instructor of Hempstead's life skills class. In this program students learn skills ranging from how to write a check to how to cook a meal for themselves. A new element was added to this year's pro- gram where students learn filing, assembling, and basic carpentry for future on the job use. In this job skills program students must attend the work area at a designated time each day and punch in and out with a time clock. Iudy Kraus explains that the time clock idea is teaching the importance of time usage on the job. While students aren't working on the job program Kraus spends time teaching skills such as spelling, math, science, and general cur- rent events. According to Kraus the goal they are trying to achieve is to give the students basic know- ledge that relates to every- one. Another portion of the life skills program involves going into the community and visiting various restaur- ants, stores, and other busi- ness establishments. Here the students gain skills such as how to order meals, purchase items, and bas- ically handle their money. Kraus was pleased with the friendliness and con- cern for each other that this year's group displayed. She hopes that in the future life skills will be able to add even more elements to their program. The name says it all, said Kraus, Life skills is teaching students the skills necessary to lead their lives. rt '14 Exposed to job opportunities 2 Q, Rudy Bellman Donald Bries Iudy Kraus Paul Thurlow . t -' ' Q -Q 4. by Cheryl Iler When a student is having difficulty learning in the typical school environment the work study pro ram stands out as a helpful option. While in this pro- gram students are given the academic help necessary and are exposed to various job opportunities. During the students' freshman and sophomore years more general academic subjects are given attention. When the students become juniors, they are given employment opportunities in assorted service type jobs. In these .af I ' . ' , jobs students are paid with money as well as valuable experience. A new angle is soon to be added to the program where freshmen and soph- omores begin observing the jobs which may be open to them as upperclassmen. This will offer them a look into their futures and help stabilize their plans. Paul Thurlow, work study teacher, is hoping to add home ec. and industrial arts classes to next year's pro- gram. Thurlow is very pleased with the support the entire program has received. 11 Denise Kalmes, '86, works busily on her . assi nment in life skills class. Photo by S ' Tony Haun.

Many skills are taught in this two hour class. Besides typing and shorthand, they also learn telephone ans- wering techniques, ma- chine transcription, word processing, filing, and han- dling mail. They learn how to use memory and electronic typewriters and electronic calculators. In addition to the class, the students also work at part-time jobs in their car- eer choice. Businesses around Dubuque give these students jobs in the areas they choose. Office Education is taught by Elizabeth Hogan. She teaches the class and also sections of office train- ing. In the afternoon she evaluates the students on their job, observes them at work. The members of the class are automatically members of O.E. Club. The club's functions are social, civic, and fund-raising activities. The Department is cur- rently investigating the pur- chase of a word processor machine that would be used in Office Education and other business classes. Some of the outstanding students in Office Educa- tion were Nancy Nagel, who was a secretary at the Personnel Department at William C. Brown, Linda Riedle, who was a secretary in the Trust Department at American Trust and Sav- ings Bank, and Shelly Gremore, who was a data entry clerk at the Atten- dance Office at Hempstead.

X Yearbook I-Iectic Year by Marcia Dittemore This year's staff has been divided into two class periods, said Chris Hillery, editor. I had a hard time communicating ideas to them both. The Equine staff includ- ed: Chris Hillery, editor- in-chief, Laurie Nesteby, co-editor, lean Becker, index editor, Tina I-Ieires, girls' sports editor and Rich Curiel, boys' sports editor. The '82-'83 staff was very young and inexper- ienced. They had an especially hard time selling the needed advertising, said Hillery. The Equine uses its ad- vertising to pay for the printing and delivery cost. The recession didn't really hurt us, said Hillery. Luckily we had our loyal customers and a staff that was able to overcome their shyness and contact new businesses. I enjoyed working on the Equine, It was interest- ing seeing how a yearbook was put together, said Beth Marsell. 109
