PAGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1964 KENNEDY SCHOOL Job Education 6 Working Wonders 9 For Retarded BY GERTRUDE ANN KRAY (N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) CHICAGO — Modern mira cles are happening at the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., School for retarded children here. This is evident both in the school's regular educational program and in its job-training center, now a little more than two years old, where young peo ple are given experience to fit them for outside employment. "An Opportunity for Dignity Through Work," the motto of the job-training center, has a true ring. SISTER Pierre, Jfchool ad ministrator, cites one ex ample a letter from Abel post- IN* OUR STATE marked Hawaii. "Abelmadethe Navy," said Sister Pierre, "and he’s really 'seeing the world.'" "I'm so glad the Sisters and everyone else at Kennedy gave me such a good start," the letter read. "Believe me, I appreciate it now." CLOSER to home is Ronnie, now working fulltime for a con struction firm. "Ronnie’s a good Influence and the men like him," said Michael A. Lom bard, head of the firm which employs Ronnie. "He has good work habits.’* Since Ronnie has no home, he has a room at the school and boards there. "He pays his bills promptly," said Sister. "Early in the morning, Ronnie rolls out of the grounds on his way to work in his used car. He has learned to be punctual" FOUR boys from Kennedy school are at Maryhaven, a con valescent home, as fulltime workers. Three are employed in the laundry and one in the kitchen. On the basis of their record, requests for additional boys have come from Mary haven. Tom, another boy from the school, has employment in a cleaning establishment. Ray is a mail clerk with one of the midwest's largest manu facturers of acoustical equip ment. "We emphasize the positive" said Melvin Greenstein, direc tor of the job-training program. "Learning to work with the hands and adjusting one’s per sonality to others is stressed." "OUR people have their dif ferences as do normal persons. That is to be expected," Green stein said. "It happens in the ’workday world. The assembly line is a great leveler."
