Health class enrollments were very high and at times as many as 80 stu- dents were in one class. Sixty new health text books were unable to be used because there weren't enough to go around. Mr, Erler's and Larry Johnsons main objective was to teach the students to the best of their abilities and to make it interesting. Mr. Erler and Mr. Johnson teach their students informa- tion which will help them now as well as later in life. Health is both educational and fun.

Students beneltt from ag Agriculture classes range from wild- life and forestry to welding. Roger Dickson, department head, said the main objective was to place students in a job situation. Besides having stu- dents work in the classroom, they also did much work in the shop, green- houses, and on the farm. The other in- structors were Ralph lrving and Sue Sweetman. How do college bound and voca- tional students benefit from the agri- culture program? Mr. Dickson said that students develop many useful quali- ties, the main one being the develop- ment of leadership. Agriculture is unique in a sense when compared to other school depart- ments. There was no problem with money. The problem they faced was students who had to take many re- quired courses and therefore found they didn't have time to take some of the elective courses offered. 1, Drafting instructor, Ted Meyer, keeps on top of things. 2.
