aking a Break. Junior Jess Ritchey takes time out to relax from studying for a test. Specialized classes, which gave students more in- dividualized attention, demanded a lot of effort on the pan of the pupils. riendly Advice. Junior Craig Fisher helps senior Eric Fox with the difficult task of organizing the annual student body officer elections. Mem- bers ofthe leadership class were respon- sible for running these elections. lf? .I 1 Wilh Sp cial Prid 1 like special activities because I get to meet deaf people from other schools. - junior Sherry Kesler Many special programs, which only the the most special students could participate in, graced the curriculum. All these programs were the same in that they challenged their students, yet different in almost every other respect. The special education program tried to reach as many students as possible. With classes such as Learning Disabilities KLDJ, Educably Mentally Handicapped CEMHJ, Psychological and Social Adjustment CPSAJ and Deaf Education, teachers pushed their students to their maximum limits, helping them reach their goals. The Deaf Education classes were designed to help the in- dividual meet his or her greatest capacity and get along in a hearing world. The Leadership class, instructed each day first hour by Mrs. Marilyn Kirby, taught leadership qualities to those in the student body with authoritative positions or who had received advanced approval. The class included class officers and student council officers. The extra hour made it possible for them to plan activities and make decisions concerning the school. Above all, the special classes encouraged the participating in- dividuals to do theier best in school and have pride in themselves which would ultimately prepare them for their future life. Special Language. Mrs. Carol Berkheiser uses sign language to communicate with her deaf education students. Students perfected their skills in these special classes. l22 Decaf Ed!Speciol Ed!Leodership Academics

N e . ,j . .,j .. ssignmenls Challenge U you do the same things day after day, you d0n't pay attention. There has to be some change. - junior Jeani Reich Baby blankets, children's books, science fair and photog- raphy assignments challenged students to do something new. Mrs. Rhonda Gantz's English classes wrote and illustrated story books for children. The books were graded on cover, title page, story, illustrations and overall organization. 'Tll keep my book and give it to my kid, explained junior Tracy Spencer. 'Slt was a hard assign- ment. ig Zag. Junior Greg Oplotnik sews a pair of jams for his home econo- mics project. This project included buy- ing and cutting the material, then sew- ing the final garment. . D? .. -fit -----f--A---Q---...,,X Other projects directed towards children included the baby blankets embroidered and assem- bled in Mrs. Jesse Erwin's child care classes. It was fun at first, said senior Kelly Tennyson, ubut after a while it got boring! A major project required by many science classes, the science fair, took up much time. If the project placed in the school, dis- trict and state competitions, it con- tinued on to the national level. Projects constituted a major part of the grade in Mrs. Kathy Finn's photography classes. The final project was the most important. Photographers chose to present a slide show set to music or a potpourri of their best pictures. . X .ff . Of all out-of-class projects, the English anthology rated high in importance. Interested students submitted pictures, artwork or original creative writings, certain English classes required an entry. The anthology staff, consisting of juniors Terry Anderson, Janice Harmon and Mark Weber, edited by senior Michelle Lindstrom and sponsored by Mrs. Rosemary Lund, read all of the entries and published the best. f'Our sanity is going out with this anthology! said Janice. There are five people working on it with over 1,500 submissions. Whether class-related or ex- tracurricular, projects added much needed spice to school work. appy Baby. Junior Melissa Meadows holds her baby doll during class. She had to care for the doll everyday every hour for a week as a project in her child care class. Projects -I Academics
