mis oe "A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 22, 1991 - 21 Night school courses underway four nights a week at PPHS By Gillian Barfoot Ballroom dancing is in full swing and the aerobics class is hopping at Port Perry High School four nights a week. The night school general in- terest programs at Port Perry High School are more popular than ever, says the school's: night school supervisor Mike Steele. "We have the most programs running ever in the past four years," he says. Shirley Hunter, the night school's secretary, says 290 people have registered for 20 different programs at the high school. She is pleased the regis- trations are "way up", especial- ly compared to only 170 stu- dents who registered for 12 courses offered last January. Some programs, such as ball- room dancing, paper tole and hairdressing, have Jumped from zero registration in the past years to a full class this year, says Mr. Steele. On the other hand, the regis- tration in programs such as travel & tourism and furniture refinishing is down this year "because those all involve mon- ey," he explains. "People aren't travelling as much because of the recession, and they don't want to go out and buy expensive supplies. They like make-it-yourself type things." Some courses are popular every year. Mrs. Hunter says the ever-popular Lotus 1-2-3 computer course had so many registrations that an extra class had to be scheduled. The fitness classes and hunt- er safety are also popular, but woodworking has the highest registration with a total of 22 students in the class, she adds. The time commitment re- quired for a course also affects the registration, says Mr. Steele, adding that a lot of peo- ple have signed up for lawn chair revival, which is the shortest program with a total of six hours' instruction. He emphasizes that only about 25 per cent of the in- structors at the night school are teachers or have teaching experience. The majority are people who work at home or in another pro- fession and have a particular skill which they enjoy sharing with others, he explains. "We are always looking for people who would like to teach in an environment where peo- ple want to be there," he says. "The instructors really enjoy night school."
