Superintendent Donald Day-
ton announced plans for the
initial staffing of Guadalupe
Mountains National Park.
It is anticipated that by
summer there will be a staff
of three permanent employ-
ees and ten seasonal em-
ployees at the new area.
These personnel will be in-
volved largely in protection
of the park and providing
information to the visitors
who enter the area on US
Highway 62-180.
Roger Reisch is currently
on duty as Park Ranger with
park resource protection res-
ponsibilities. Rito Perez of
El Paso, Texas, recently
entered on duty as mainten-
ance worker. A Management
Assistant who will have re-
sident manager responsibili-
ties will enter on duty in
late spring.
The seasonal staff will in-
clude two park aids, one
park ranger, three fire con-
trol aids, two trail crewmen
and two NYC enrollees.
Miss Karen Parker of Pine
Spring, Texas will enter on
duty approximately May 17
as a Park Aid. She will staff
the visitor information sta-
tion near Pine Springs. Two
fire control aids will enter
on duty approximately April
1. Conditions are presently
very dry in the grass and
forested ares of the park.
Fire danger ratings are in
the high range. Mr. Capron
of Nickel Creek Station,
Texas, will enter on duty as
fire control aid approximate-
ly May 29.
Two seasonal trail cre-
menwill start work approxi-
mately April 18 to start re-
pairing approximately 55
miles of foot and horse
trails.
Since public use facilities
have not yet been construc-
ted and the staffing will be
limited, extensive visitor
use of the new park is not
encouraged at this time.
There is, however, provision
for limited visitor enjoyment,
particularly near thd high-
way. The 55 miles of trail
in tire park are in poor con-
dition until funds can be
made available for exten-
sive improvement. Those
utilizing the trails must
have adequate physical ca-
pability and information be-
fore venturing into the rugged
backcountry. A visitor con-
tact station will be open
and manned in tire Park be-
ginning Easterweekend.lt
is located two miles east
of Pine Springs on US 62-
180.

Dell Valley -Mrs. Darlene Trimble, Homemaking Teacher
at Dell City High School, Dell City ISD, is sparking classes
with practical experiences w-hich will prepare students to hold
jobs outside the home.
Mrs. 7'rimble believes that her students should be able to use
their class learning experiences and transfer wrork skills from a
home environment to a community environment. To guide stu-
dents in this direction, she is expanding tire traditional curri-
culum. Classes of senior high school girls, as well as junior and
senior high school boys, are utilizing staff-developed materials
from the project, Vital Information for Education and Work
(VIEW), developed at Region XIX Education Service Center.
Additionally, Mrs. Trimble calls on outside projects such as-
tiie Neighborhood Youth Corps (for work experiences), outlying
banks and industry (for job training and application information),
and tiie Dell City kindergarten class (for work situations demon-
strating procedures in a classroom.)
The VIEW7 materials enable students to become aware of var-
ious job opportunities and qualifications that represent realistic
and obtainable goals, both in and out of their own community.
The learning material is then used for various class activities
including role-playing with job interviews, writing letters of
job application, discussing appropriate dress and manners as
well as questions and answers for job interview's, and participa-
ting productively in class discussions.
Traditional curriculum, Home and Family Living and Consum-
er Education, provides the basic background material for Mrs.
Trimble's program. She also uses filmstrips, tapes, and various
publications concerning vocational-technical information.
Partial proof of the success with her innovative approach, is a
recent interview with one of the ex-students from Mrs. Trimble's
class of senior high school boys. The student, one of seventy
job applicants at an El Paso business, was hired after a success-
ful job interview. He said that this was due partly to the train-
inc from his classroom experiences in Mrs. Trimble's class.
Part of the class is showrn refinishing chairs for tiie Home Ec-
onomics Department: Mike Hill, Keving Lynch, Clay Lewtis,
Tommy Shirley, Tom Long and teacher, Darlene Trimble.
