H5555 gjv SSIQLRQLEEINJIDJZEXFFUIL F-Si SHANNQJN When two people share an apart- ment their paths tend to run in the same directions. That's the way it is with Special Education instructor Jane Bergendahl and aide Nancy Shannon. When they're not at school, they en- joy watching T.V. One of their favorite shows is MASH, although sometimes on Saturday morning Miss Shannon likes to watch cartoons. Time not spent watching T.V. is spent playing backgammon. lt's a game that both enjoy and one they could play all night. This summer at the University of Northern Iowa, Miss Shannon and Miss Bergendahl worked on their Special Education degrees. Miss Bergendahl grew up near Chi- cago, so she's still getting used to liv- ing in a small town. When at the Shan- other new experience for Miss Bergen- dahl was learning how to play softball. Getting to know the Shannon family is also a new experience for Miss Ber- gendahl. She only had one sister to live with, while Miss Shannon has seven brothers and sisters. Miss Shannon and Miss Bergendahl also enjoy being outside, doing things such as camping. 'lfiun-uvU ' iq non farm, Miss Shannon spends time g yggg N g im trying to teach her to ride a horse.

The special education wing has made ours one of the best special ed programs in the area. Consisting of six classrooms, the new wing is also one of the best equipped wings in the area. The self-contained pro- gram, especially, now has the use of a refrigerator, an oven, a complete bath- room and a bed with which the students develope living skills. The modern wing is a long step from the trailers that the spe- cial education was housed in before the bond issue.

Through a cooperative program, students can take subjects like Nursing, and Auto Mechanics at Scott Community College. Major Appiance Re- pair, Child Care Aid, and Cosmetology are also offered to students who meet special needs requirements. North Scott's special education wing was the subject of the news magazine project that students completed for the journalism program. Using the equipment of WQAD-TV, two students took the audi- ence on a tour of the wing and inter- viewed teachers and students about the extent of special education at North Scott.

EDTV' EUSUMESSASMSUA Ml Lynda Saling confronts a puzzlement in balances. H9 A... The man who passes out space ap- plications and yells at kids in the com- mons to clean it up is more than just a mild mannered teacher of accounting. As director of the audio-visual equip- ment, SPACE and chairman of the Business Department, Mr. Keith Ben- jamin is a busy person from 8 to 4. But he is very busy after that last bell rings, too. At most sporting events you will see him keeping time, running a clock or working at some other respon- sible job. The four teenagers in his house keep him very busy at home, he says. Actu- ally not at home but running them to, from, to, and from band concerts, choir concerts, plays and a variety of sporting events. l-le does a lot of Hhaul- ing of friends, assorted equipment and miscellaneous freight liflfl Eel SGHQQQJL QUEQEQTHQNS llltlll IE?

The new hall into the foyer caused Mrs. Connie Hanssen's typing room to be shortened and the old workshop eliminated. lt found a new home in the old conference room. Even the Xerox machine was moved to make way for the new wing. When completed, the new wing will also give Mrs. Carmene Granger and the OE supervisor a new office. But until then it is dust and plywood and a cold breeze. At semester change Mrs. Pat Schrage retired and Mrs. Tori Slotter- beck was hired to replace her. The of- fice education girls took the transition smoothly. The business department still had a lot of machines clicking and humming, and accounts to be balanced, but it wasn't exactly business as usual. N., V. . .W
