Helping attitude projected by staff lim there if any students needs help, said resource teacher Peg Keelan-White, and that statement seemed to reflect the attitude and role of the entire special services staff. ' Mrs. Keelan-White, who returned this year from studying in England, worked with about 30 students regularly during the year. The resource department was well equipped with visual and audio aids that helped students with their school work. The resource department acted as a go between for the students and teachers, enacting individual programs for the students. New teacher Mary Mruz worked with Mrs. Keelan-White for two periods each day. Counselors Phil Towle and Warren Dickey aided students by making sure that the students had classes that they needed and wanted. To this end, approximately 600 schedule changes were made. The counselors were especially helpful to the seniors who needed to figure out what they were going to do during the next year and in the future by providing information about colleges and other options through a college night and a well-stocked pamphlet case. Mrs. Vi Kaeding, in her 22nd year as school nurse, took care of students' illnesses ancl wounds and also administered the state required hearing and vision tests to all of the students. .by Karla Fillman U-Xbovel Mrs. Vi Kaecling tests Curt Sorensen's hearing.

This advanced art class concentrated on five basic projects during the year: drawing, painting, pottery, sculpture, and print-making. A lab fee of 35.00 was required of the students to pay for materials used in making these projects. The Art IV class was given a very basic topic, explained art instructor Tom Sheppard, relating to a current social issue, and were then told to illustrate that idea in a drawing. There were seven seniors in Art IV this year. According could ever give it up. if its-q Q i W. Ex si . t ' ,Trl J g . . t .
