2 November 1, 1968 THE GRANTONIAN Freaky costumes designed by students made for Halloween season festivities “A freaky woman blowing in the wind” is how Sherie Hit ching describes her witch. Miss Katherine Cameron’s fashion de sign class is preparing for the season festivities by designing their own costumes. According to Miss Cameron, “The girls must design something they can wear themselves. Nancy Granado is design ing a “contemporary witch.” This witch has black belled pants, a blue shirt with black cuffs and collar. The item that makes this design unique, is the witch’s yel low, orange, and olive hair. “I want to change the image of witches,” stated Nancy. “Everything is kind of sweet and little girlish right now. That’s why I’m making a Rag gedy Ann doll,” stated Cindy Gregory. “She is going to have red yarn hair, red and white stockings, and black shoes.” i ó DRESSMAKING - ALTERAI IONS 1724 N.E. 40th Ave. AT 2-1587 Deaf boy hurdles obstacles Jan Ferguson is designing a ballroom costume which will be all black except for a wide silver belt. The gown has a fitted bodice and a flaring skirt which flows to the floor. Vonda Mahaffey is making a devil’s head from paper mache. It will be painted bright red, or ange, and black. “I am making it because his expression signi fies the fire and fear of hell.” A spook, designed by Marilyn McKean; a 17th century gown, designed by Cyndee Wolfe; a ki mono designed by Margaret Friggeths; and an ancient Egyp tian costume designed by Debbie Kirakdis are some of the cos tumes being designed by the second period class. CURRENTLY A MEMBER of the advanced typing class, junior Dan Tendollen concentrates on his work. Dan, who has been deaf since birth, could type close to forty words a minute at the end of last year. “Halloween is a great time of year to express yourself in a picture,” stated Bev Brooks. /BAI computer training courses taken during summer by Ralph Bakkensen CONCERT HALL on stage SAT., NOV. 9 - 8:30 PM How would you like to spend a whole summer going to school 18 to 30 hours a week with two to three hours of home work each night? If you desire an answer to this question just ask Ralph Bakkensen, a senior, who spent his summer as the only high school member of a com puter programming class at the IBM center in Portland. It all began when Ralph met Mr. David Eccles, a sales representative from IBM, who worked with Ralph’s father in business. “Usually high school students are not allowed to participate in this program,” Ralph began, “but Mr. Eccles arranged for my admission after first checking my academic records at Grant.” Before he could actually begin the computer training Ralph was required to take a test on logic which in volved the recognition of sequences and some basic arithmetic skills. “Logic is important in learn ing good programming,” Ralph explained. “Computers are not capable of correcting errors in logic so your logic must be cor rect.” The main class itself was broken into about four main sections: (1) Fundamentals of Computer Systems, (2) Fundamentals of Program ming, (3) An Introduction to Hardware of IBM, and (4) Learning to Program in Common Business Oriented Language (COBL). “We learned only the basics in class but got to expand our knowledge in our actual work,” commented Ralph. Ralph was given a test after each main section of the course and would not have been al lowed to progress to the next section of the course until he had successfully passed each test. By August Ralph had completed the course and was writing programs for IBM computers. “I intend to use this skill in getting a summer job and also as a part time job while I’m in college,” Ralph asserted. "I really enjoyed this class but it was a lot of hard work,” he admitted. “Through my experience in computer programming I found that computers are basically dumb machines and that it is the job of the programmer to think for them,” Ralph concluded. You come home from school and call your friend on the phone. Afterwards you decide to listen to the “Top 50” on the ra dio. Then the doorbell rings and when you answer it, you see your friends there, who have come over to practice on their guitars. These are normal activi ties for most of us, and we tend to take them for granted. DAN TENDOLLEN, a junior, can’t do any of those things—he is deaf. His hearing impaired since birth, he wears a hearing aid, and can tell if something is being said, but must look at the speaker to read his lips in order to understand. Dan went to Washington High School his freshman year, then transferred here. His counselors believe he can obtain more help in English and Social Studies, so later in the year, he will again attend Washington. However, he likes it here and especially en joys typing. “LAST YEAR he took begin ning typing and typed close to 40 words per minute,” remarked Mrs. Helen Kappler, business education teacher. “Now he is taking advanced typing.” Said his mother, Mrs. Eugene Tendollen, “We’re glad that he’s there getting the education he can as best he can.” DAN EXPLAINED that he at tended Hosford School for the Deaf where he learned to lip- read and to speak by seeing how the tongue, lips, and voice box form words. In addition to typing, he also thkes woodworking and is mak ing a lamp out of mahogany as his project. Party-going and swimming are two of Dan’s favorite pas times, and he belongs to a club in which the members are deaf, according to his father, Eugene Tendollen. Dan also enjoys read ing. “I like to read many books to learn many words,” he said, i Dan said, that he plans to at tend Galluadet College for the Deaf in Washington, D.C. upon graduation from high school, and would like to go on to the printing and publishing business afterwards. ¡NTEQRÎTy... kNOWlEdÇE.. .V a I u E...
