PVE Concentrates On Individuals 7 Needs The Pre-employment Vocational Ex- perience (PVE) in strict compliance with Public Law 94-42 also maintains the philosophy and objectives set by LaSalle High School, not as a separate unit, but as an integral link of the total school program. The PVE student has the same rights and responsibilities to the school and community as any oth- er individual in the student body. The PVE program is designed to meet the needs of each individual at his appropriate level. A written educa- tional program (IEP) has been devel- oped for each student to meet his unique educational needs. The IEP is a cooperative effort between the par- ents, the school, and other invo lved agencies to determine the best possi- ble program for the student. The IEP also serves as a guide and measure of the student ' s total progress. Students in the PVE program are as- signed to job stations on a competitive basis. This experience combined with responsibility develops a student ' s po- tential and prepares him for the future.

Industrial Arts Gives Hands On Experience Woodshop, power mechanics, elec- tronics, printing, and auto mechanics are all part of the industrial arts curricu- lum. The Program aids students in ei- ther training for a future joP or just sat- isfying an interest in a particular area. Every year, the printing class not only provides LaSalle with The Explorer, pro- grams, letters, and invitations. It also prints up the newspapers of two other schools and official forms for the cor- poration. Students in woodshop, this past year, completed wooden rocking horses to give to children at Hansel Center for Christmas. They devoted the time that could have been invest- ed in personal projects for the benefit of needy children. If anyone has trouble with his car, the first place to turn could be our own auto shop. Students learn about car problems and how to fix them. They work on either their own cars or cars owned by staff members. For some, this becomes a lifetime business. For others, a way to save money.

Pardon Me, Do You Speak English? Comment ' allez-vous? iHola! Veni, vidi, vici. These, along with many other now unfamiliar phrases become household words in LaSalle ' s foreign language classes. For the world traveler, LaSalle offers French, Spanish, Russian, and German. To help students understand the English language better, or, for just plain curiosity, Latin is also offered. Not only are the basic mechanics of each language taught, but also taught are the customs and ways of life of each country. For example, if you were to take French, you might learn how to buy French bread and carry it home on the back of your bike. Or, if you took Latin, you might get to see some of Mr. Hostetlers fantastic slides of Greece. Mr. Funston teaches French, Mr. Hoffman teaches German and Russian, and Mrs. Kellenberg shares Spanish with Mr. Funston. Mr. Hostetler also teaches some of the French classes. Top Rt.: Mr. Funston explains to Carrie Hold the importance of doing homework. Top Rt.: Mr. Funston listens in as Carrie Hold and her partner practice their dialogue. Bot.
