.Nei ...We-Q These Special Education students intently study current magazines before having a class discussion ofthe issues. Health Educators Check Potentials One of the main goals ofthe Special Education Department is to assist students in finding jobs. Full-time work was carried out by seniors. Students spent a short amount of time in the Special Education room and then attended home economics, art, typing, or shop classes. Two students did not prepare for jobs and instead planned a trip with Mrs. jane Rankin, the Special Education instruc- t0I'. Mrs. jean Panek and Mrs. Bonita Ellenwood, nurses, believe that a 'cchild cannot reach his potential if not in good physical and mental health . They instigate treatment mea- sures to insure early adjustment to diseases. Working with FMA, they create interest and urge participation of students in health programs. Audiometric tests and vision retesting were a part of the duties performed by Mrs. Panek and Mrs. Ellenwood, Each sophomore was tested and the results were recorded in his permanent health file. The nurses and the FMA continued the senior immunization program. Each senior was asked to get booster shots before going on to college or on to job positions. Mrs. Jean Panek, school nurse, gives a sophomore an audiometric test to meas- ure hearing ability, During the first weeks of school, she and an assistant check all new students.

Yjflbe, Sweep and Bake Rolls Versatile is the word for Westside's non-professional staff, including everyone from secretaries tojanitors. Each morning the secretaries type letters, answer the phone, and attend to the various needs of students and teachers. The attendance oiice, attended by Mrs. Corine Welch, distributes passes to students who are absent or want to leave the building. Mrs. Marguerite Campbell conducts a study hall for sophomores and juniors in the cafeteria every hour except during lunch. Bookstore attendant, Mrs. Margaret Dappen, sells student supplies, paperback books, botany paper, pens, pencils, and even tickets to games. The cafeteria service devotes the morning to preparing the school lunch. They fry the hamburgers and french fries, chill the jello, bake the rolls and make the Thanksgiving turkey for the students, and faculty meals. Not everyone appreciates the many tasks performed by the school janitors. They repair lights on the ceiling as well as keep the building heated in the winter. The janitors set up chairs in the auditorium for all the convocations, and prepare the football field for the games. Mrs, Margaret Dappen, bookstore attendant, waits at her window to sell books, pens, paper and tickets to games. Mr. S, Saprano moves out to chalk the football field. Front Row: R. Severine, M.
