Explaining tho fundamentals of storting a car. Mr. Ulondcr shows Jeff where to put the key. Additional Instruction Presented in Special Classes A vctcron of fifty yoors teaching, Mrs. Johnson has guided many students to become well-adjusted citizens. Through his patient instruction, behind the wheel and in the classroom, Mr. Ulander, our drivers' education instructor has attempted to impress upon his students the keys to safe driving. By presenting the facts, and explaining the need for better drivers, he had shown that a safe driver needs to be cautious and wary of danger behind the wheel. In the classroom phase safety, first aid, and operational rules are stressed. He is improving the drivers of tomorrow and reducing the number of needless accidents. Exceptional children are children who deviate from the hypothetical average of physical, mental, emotional, and sociol characteristics to such an extent that they require special educational services in order to develop to their maximum capacity. Those special services include a radical modification of the curriculum, individual methods of instruction, equipment and an adjusted school schedule. The main goal is that the child's needs be identified and satisfactorily met. Exceptional children, like others must become well-adjusted members of the family and community, must participate in the activities of the work-a-day world, and must assume responsibilities in keeping with their capacities as citizens in a democracy.

It takes many people to run smoothly a school the size of Orono. At seven thirty in the morning, one of the most important jobs was executed by the bus drivers. No matter what the weather, the students arrived at school safely. Though we probably didn't realize it, our halls were spotless and ready for another day of muddy feet ond the unavoidable scuffing. We owe this task to the very capable janitors who keep the school environment refreshing and who provide us with a bit of wit. After the morning session, we were ready for the good meals our cooks had prepared for the oncoming pack of hungry eyes ond growling stomachs. No matter how much work had been done as each day drew to a close, there was always much more to do. There was no glory in their work, but it was quiet, efficient, and indispensable. 28

The school day is seldom over at 2:58; when the final bell rings, activities steam full speed ahead. In this separate world we spend countless hours practicing with teams, participating in clubs, or rehearsing plays. Not only do we have the pleasure of attending dances and other social events, it is our responsibility to plan them. There is a certain satisfaction in knowing that a dance, club project, or play might not have been as successful without our help. Though at times the extra work of the students seems to go unrecognized, the rewards are significant. A share of our activities are career-directed, some are service-oriented, and some are just fun. The competition of G.R.A. tournaments, painting scenery for the play. Triple Trio rehearsals, photo developing,- all blended together into another chapter in the journal of Orono.
