Work Experience Program Adds Another Unit Food servers, stock clerks, cashiers, a meat cutter trainee, an offset printer trainee, bagboys, busboys, sales- persons, a plumber trainee, a photo copier and service station attendants were all among Rickards' ninth and tenth graders. They were some of the 87 students in these grades who took advantage of the work experience pro- gram offered bythe school this year. The program expanded so much than another unit had to be added this year to handle the enrollment, making a total of five classes. Mrs. Nancy Floyd was new to the program and Mrs. Gretchen Ostrom returned this year after having filled out last year for another work experience teacher. Second semester lVlr. M.T. Brown was changed from campus supervisor to the program to handle the extra students. Mr. E.A. Kershaw and Mr. George Williams continued to work in this area. Mr. Williams speculated that the program had grown so much in the past few years because, lt fills the needs of every student who wants economic independence. So many students qualified for the program that all who applied could not be accepted. fRightj Theresa Flowers rearranges towels while she works at Neisner Ls.

Language Department Gains Two Teachers Two new teachers ioined the language staff. They were Mrs. Shirley Bayard and Dr. Thomas Cooper. Mrs. Bayard, a native of Haiti, became a citizen of the United States a little over a year ago. She decided to become a U.S. citizen because, While I was at college in New Hampshire, l realized what a powerful nation this country is. I believe the system of government here and the people have been kind and helpful to me. Dr. Cooper received his doctorate at the beginning of the school year from FSU. Dr. Cooper has toured much of Europe, an experience valuable in teaching German. The language department's resource center was termi- nated because of lack of room, though many learning aids remained in room 75, such as records, tapes, film strips, books, posters, charts, flash cards, transparencies and musical instruments. Other means of teaching French and Latin included field trips Spanish classes got first-hand experience by conversing in Spanish with senior Beatriz fBettyj Alvitez, exchange student from Trujillo, Peru. Six Rickards students tried out their Spanish when they visited Popayan, Colombia, S.A., last summer as part of the Sister City program.
