The Junior High Chorus showing off their new uniforms. The Papoose was the name given to the Junior High newspaper four years ago when it was first published. Each month a different core class and teacher are in charge of its publication. As a result The Papoose gives everyone in the Junior High a chance to participate in the activities of publish- ing a paper. Any Junior High student may submit an article for inclusion to the core class in charge. There are many different kinds of articles in The Pa- poose. They range from editorials to sports activities. Other things included are stories, crossword puzzles and art work. The Papoose sells for a nickel a copy and the profit is used for the next publication. The greatest advantage of the paper is to give the Junior High student a chance to express a view- point and to become involved. One of the many Junior High newspaper staffs

A time for work ... a time for play. Something New Added To Seneca Seneca is the only school that has a special class for the few students in Jefferson County who are deaf. This program is set up and run by Mr. Risner. He concentrates on teaching English and math to the deaf. If the students need any re- source information he obligates himself to them first period. The primary purpose for this program is to have an environ- ment full of different kinds of people and many forms of com- munication. Getting the students integrated into a large school is the key. There is a room that is specially designed for this class. Curtains are around walls with carpeting on the floor to cut out all unnecessary noises. Mr. Risner wants the students to hear his voice only. Equipment is also used for a better comprehen- sion. A microphone is used to amplify his voice, records, tapes, etc. The phonic ear helps completely deaf students picl up sound. Mr. Risner enjoys this different kind of teaching and would not give it up. It takes a lot of effort and determination on the students ' part. He sums it up by saying, It is rewarding and gratifying to work with handicapped kids. The microphone is one of the devices that captivates attention.
