INTEGRA TION S TRESSES IN VOL VEMENTp READING SUCCESS ASSURES BENEFITS We are a highly individualized program that assists the hearing impaired individual to become part of the mainstream ofthe school, stated Nancy Noffsinger, instructor. This year's goal was to make the students feel they are a part of the school by providing services for students with hearing impairments or those that are linguistically disadvantaged. Sopho- more Jim Darling told, I enioy Washington because I can be involved in many different sports and take classes that I really enjoy, too. These students had an integrated studies class once a day to provide a time for them to get help if they don't comprehend some of the information they are being taught in other classes. They also had many discussions during this period. Senior Jim House commented, Washington gives me the opportunity to interact with people more easily because of the small class size. It is nice to be known as a person and not just someone who's hanging around. The goals for this year's reading classes were summed up by David Aldrich in the following statement: I believe perfecting reading skills is like climbing a mountain. Those who suc- ceed are in a position to command a better view of the world around them. Students who had difficulties in reading used materials like kits, filmstrips, workbooks, and paperbacks. This course was designed to cover either a semester or a full year, but it was most beneficial as a full year course.

YEAR MEETS SUCCESS Unfortunately, Henry Weatherspoon admitted that only about forty percent of Washington's student body used the library. Many did so iust to fulfill an assignment or requirement rather than for their own pleasure or hobbies. Sophomore Jan Bergstrom con- ceded, The most common reason why students come to the library is because their teacher gives them a library pass. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that there are many other resource centers around the school, such as Room I2I and Portable C, and he would have liked to see these get more use also. I had hoped that more of the student body who weren't using the library would take advantage of the other facilities, confessed Mr. Weatherspoon. The library's budget was down about two hundred dollars from last year, and the cost of books went up considerably. The new books this year were mainly for research and inform- ation for specific classes. Senior Roseanne McNeil commented, You can always go to the library and find iust about all the information you need. I feel we've been successful and the major reason for this success has been the additional time that has been devoted by the whole staff, commented Doug Foster, audio-visual advi- sor. There are more students getting interested in audio-visual classes and enrollment is approximately twenty percent over last year. The A.V. staff was busy putting on three news programs a week. When asked why he was taking the class senior Eric Roley replied, This class prepares you for working in radio and T.V. ll Seniors Marvin Shaw and Paul Collins film during an audio-visual class. 2l Advisor Doug Foster takes time out for a pie break. 3l Sophomores Nancy and Peggy Snedeker use their study time wisely. 41 Senior Cheryl Shirea gets instructions from Mr. Weather- spoon. 51 Senior Eileen Keeney plays her harmonica while searching for a book. bl Sophomore Gary Rowell has opening shot for WACO Channel Four.
