Teachers Provide Variety and Depth In P,C,P. and Special Ed, Courses Busy planning for a class project on the solar system are Mr. Randels and Mr. Gillam. The purpose of our Basic Education and Special Education program is to help pre- pare students to react as efficiently as pos- sible to situations both in and out of school. It contains the usual curricular studies with special emphasis, as well as social skills of dress, speech, manners, and appearance. It is easy to see that ingenuity and sensitiv- ity are prime requisites of the teachers who are responsible for these classes. Mr. William Fraction browses a professional journal to keep up on the latest developments in his field. Mr. Gillam Mr. Randels 33
