A i Spociol progroms offift individuolf Marshall's Reading Department was designed to increase basic reading skills, including comprehension, speed, and vo- cabulary for students who needed to improve in these areas. The goal of the course was to raise each student's level two years for every one enrolled. This program was important for students who were below average in reading since the state required students to pass a competency test to get a diploma. Although many students had negative feelings about the program at first, many registered over again which shows the success and the need for kids to read, stated Instructor A.J. Morrison. Another program for students with special needs was of- fered by the Special Education Department where every stu- dent received his own individual program. This department was headed by Roman Widolff and Diana Miles who together taught the multi-handicapped. Student aides seemed to have a tremendous impact on the program. An additional advantage was having the special students in with the other kids. It helps them to prepare to take part in society, explained Widolff. Marshall offered a half-day deaf program which included four students. For the other half of the day, the students were integrated to elective classes with a special tutor who helped with assignments when necessary.

This included learning the necessary skills and knowledge in dealing with children, family, cooking, and sewing. Thirteen pre-school children were enrolled in the Child Develop- ment Class with Marshall students learning how to take care of them and how to cope with their needs. The classes were on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:30. Specialty courses offered to students were Quiltmaking, Gour- met Cooking, and Family Human Relationship classes. Activities included a luncheon for the faculty prepared by members of Gour- met Foods. The instructors, Mrs. Georgia Carver and Mrs. Lucille Meyers, noticed a renewed interest and large classes. I really like Home Economics and I think it will help me in the future, said Senior Lori Farevaag. Students in the Industrial Arts classes worked to master the skills they were taught. According to Woodshop Teacher Ed LeBaron, students in this class made projects ranging from gun cabinets to game tables, and from waterbeds to stereo cabinets. Auto Shop instructor Dan McCallum felt that Marshall students were great students to work with. They've accomplished a lot in the class. Students not only worked on their own automobiles but some of the teachers' cars as well. Junior Chris Scott stated, I never knew hardly anything about how to repair engines and a few other projects in a car until I took this class. lt made the time worthwhile. i l 5 Va 1 .. ,C mx Siam I I X 5?-, it I A ' ss' W 74 0 Home EcfShop LUCILLE MEYER discusses with Principal Nate Jones the re- sults of his presentation to her Creative Foods class.
