Behavioral Program Implemented 'bd Mrs. Dianna Woistman Department Chairman t - .. fc. .,. . 5 x . . W v .5 . , kv. .. wiki ' F ' Liz Armstrong Students in Special Ed are working hard. They realize the benefits of the program, and they look forward to being in the regular program, says Mrs. Dianna Woist- man, Department Chairman of the Special Ed Program. This year the program has grown in number and the self-contained TMH class has been expanded. A Behavioral Resource Program is also being planned for the remain- der of the year. The work experience program aids in the job finding process for those involved students. Students have a regular class and a part-time job for which they receive two credits per year. They are super- vised by the employer and are oc- casionally checked on by their teacher. Mrs. Woistman states, The main purpose of the Special Ed Pro- gram is to assist students in devel- oping self-realization, economic efficiency, social confidence and civic responsibility.

Science students help buy computer -Q . ,NL M Students work diligently on a project in Biology. Mr. Ray Collins, Department Chairman quas- -95 The Science Department started off the year with two new teach- ers, Mrs. Judy Gerdin who teaches Medical Careers and Mr. Jeff Simpson who teaches General Sci- ence and Biology. This year the science students did not just participate in class, they also sold Holiday gifts to help raise money for science comput- ers. The computers will not just be for teachers. The students will be able to use them for extra credit and to perform demonstrations that could not be done in class or to do work beyond required assign- ments. lt will be a period of 5 years before all of the equipment will be added. The Science Department had a few problems earlier in the year with a gas leak. The school district reacted quickly and brought porta- ble propane burners so that class work could continue. an--axis W, W I Mr. Richard Cherry Mr. Frank Grundler Mr. Jim Heinrichs Mr. Vernon Jensen Mrs. Beverly Lewis Mr. Jim Schonaerts Mr, Jeff Simpson Miss Terri Smith 27

Guaranteed Guidance Program aids Each student on our PV campus has a counselor and meets with him at least once a year. Students and Counselors may discuss such con- cerns as personal problems, par- ents, teachers, scheduling, admis- sions testing and gain information on careers for the future. The counselors were also in- volved in the Guaranteed Guid- ance program which is in its sec- ond year at PV. ln the program the counselor arranges a conference with the freshman students and Frosh parents to discuss graduation re- quirements and adjustment to high school. According to Mr. Jerry Lemon, department chairman, his advice to oncoming freshman is don't get discouraged. Another program administered by the counseling office is the state mandated achievement test. This year the Stanford Achieve- ment test will replace the Califor- nia Achievement test. All students here will be required to take the Stanford Achievement test. ,gas :sw sg., f- f Dr. Hamm consults Senior Greg Stephenson about his last f Mr. Ron Harten Mrs. Annette Ketterson Mr. Steve Lewis Secretary ' as xi , xr - Iri ' .P ..,, . 5 ,, ,Q '1 ' Mr. Jerry Lemon Department Chairman Mrs. Betty DiGesu check of the year.
