outs from Cleveland High
School?
They are dropping in to
v is it with D r. Richard New
man and his staff at a "ra p
c e n te r" in a poi table unit
on Cleveland's campus.
The center, a jo in t e ffo rt
of Cleveland High School and
the Child Guidance C lin ic , is
reaching out to youths turned
off by the conventional edu
cational education process.
Some of the young people
who v is it the center are school
dropouts; others are poten
tia l dropouts; but many are
just students with problems.
Since October I97I, the cen
te r has helped some 150 youths
cope with their problems by-
staging
small group rap
sessions and hosting special
discussions with guest speax-
e rs.
The discussions focus on
topics selected by the stu
dents such as death, veneral
disease, planned parenthood
and student rights.

The students hope to learn
ways of improving the cate
rer ¡a operation at Ainsworth
from these v is its . The young
sters are transpot ted and
supervised on these tours by
Ainsworth parent volunteers.
In addition to learning from
the d ip s , students also gain
experience in speaking and
reporting. The day after the
return from the v is its they
report to classmates on what
they found and respond to
questions. So fa r, teache s
and students at the school
think the results have been
excellent and have lesulted
in some solid improvements
in the cafeteria operation at
Ainsworth.
