April 1983

Historical April 1983 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

In addition to the article about one of our classes in this issue of The Paper, I would like to mention one or two more things about our school.

We offer roughly 63 courses a semester to stimulate you from head to toe.

We have things for young and old, male and female, children and adult.

We even offer a dog obedience course.

We have a class to help you to get your high school diploma and a course to show you the best and most effective way to sell yourself to the public. Meanwhile, while you are in class, your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, ward, etc., may stay with two qualified babysitters for the low cost of 50 cents per child per visit.

The babysitting is run by Gwendolyn Hall, a certified babysitter, and Devore Williams. Both have extensive experience with children.

The effective speaking class taught by Mr. Robert Dentschmann is a good course for everyone.

If you ever have to talk in public (as we all do at one time or another), this class is for you. Mr. Paul Detering is one of the A.B.E. teachers.

He gives personal attention to each and everyone of his students to help you to achieve your G.E.D. (high school diploma). Paul welcomes everyone who wishes to better him/herself.

We must congratulate Mrs. Thelma Thompson, Hamilton’s chairperson, upon her recent appointment as secretary of the Chairperson’s Advisory Board! Also, we wish to welcome Mr. Michael Wallace, who was a physical education teacher at Hamilton Branch 3, as our new gym teacher.

He came to us in January 1983 and does workshops and discipline with the boys.

On March 16, 1983, Hamilton Community School will have an Open House from 6–9 p.m.

We will display crafts from the knitting and crocheting, upholstery, and other craft courses.

Our Youth Interpretation class will perform as well as the Primitive Movements class.

There will be Hypertension Screening (blood pressure) offered as well.

Our school facilities are also available for any community related meetings or activities: Operation Impact had a workshop here on Feb. 24, 1983, and Washington Heights Neighbors meets here every third Tuesday.

So please, neighbors, remember that this is your Community School. Come out, support us, visit with us, use us, for, after all without you, we can not be!
