Utilizing An Almost Unlimited Resource Mrs. King performing one of her many duties as the Media Cen- ter's clerk typist. The King High Media Center is a place to go for information to expand one’s knowledge and to receive help in various subjects. The Media Center is also the scene of several special programs. College Aware- ness. in cooperation with the guidance department, is held in the Media Center along with Health-O-Rama. a health occupation program. Mrs. Mary Jane Mar- tinez, head media specialist, hopes to have more spe- cial programs in the future including a spring voter registration drive. The Media Center has a new specialist this year. Mrs. Carol Sabonis, who transferred from Lanier Elementary school. She has been an evening librarian here at King for five years and, therefore, is very famil- iar with the workings of the Media Center. Many students arc not aware that the Media Center is open from seven to ten from Monday through Thursday night, as well as thirty minutes before school. This is so that students may have more time to utilize the many facilities available such as microfilm and microfich viewers and the preview room. Mrs. Martinez believes that the students arc proud of their Media Center because they are helping to maintain its quality appearance. Library 55

Special Teachers For Students The head of EMH department is Mr. Thomas, who has taught at King for ten years and who enjoys working with the students. This year the EMH and SLD department consists of Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Vcla-Vcla, and Mr. Bradley, with three new teachers — Mr. Bozo, Mrs. Walter, and Mrs. Barnes. The EMH classes help those students who have specific needs ranging from physical handicaps to special education. The department has elective courses as well as the required curriculum such as English and math. The SLD department helps those students who arc not physically handicapped, but who arc slow in reading and math. The reading teacher for the department is Mrs. Barnes. Mr. Bradley teaches social studies and Mrs. Walter teaches math. With the special attention and help from these teachers, the students can have a better understanding and be prepared for their future. The Remediation Center is a program offered at King to help those students who did not pass the State Assessment Test, but did not score low enough to be placed in the Compensatory Education classes. Every student must pass Parts I and II of this test in order to graduate from high school. The two assistant teachers are Mrs. Jackson, who teaches math, and Mrs. Hicks, who teaches English. These, teachers give students individual help on any part of the test that they might have missed. Studentsare taken out of one of their classes to work with a remediation teacher on a one to one basis. The class hours spent in the remediation center all depend on what the student has missed on the test. Some- times it only lasts one hour, and sometimes it could be as much as twelve class hours. her students each da. a great, hig smile. Remediation 57
