Community Service Program Piloted Last summer Henley was selected, along with twelve other schools in the state, to SQQQET participate in a new pilot program. The 4 g purpose was to give students a chance to li'r serve their community while receiving ANK- some school credits for their work. Under VER5! the capable direction of Mr. Speers, Hen1ey's CSP program developed into one of the most successful in the state. The program was limited to seniors, who were released from school for a three hour block. Each student worked at an agency, kept a weekly log and wrote a weekly Eng- lish paper. 7' were rrrr .

CSP Students Enjoy Work All participants became involved in many commu- nity activities and learned many of the secrets of county government. Besides their work at their agency, students attended school board meetings, court sessions, political meetings, and city coun- cil meetings. Some students stayed with an agency for the full semester while others changed at the end of nine weeks. Working with Mrs. Speers was Miss Mitchell, who graded the English papers. Most students agreed that it was a lot of extra work but that it was the most valuable semester of their twelve years. Mrs. Speers surprised the CSP students with a party on the last day of school in place of a test she had promised. Top: Karen Ferguson feeds Kris Stewart a bit of cake.
