Working Experience Thru VOC Subjects— Small farmers perhaps as much as the large farmer are concerned with cost of feed, etc. This infor- mation is a part of regular class work in Vocational Ag. Mark Wiggs, the small farmer, gets his information from instructor, G. Kerkhoff. Learning to make as well as to read drawings is a part of the mechanical drawing class required of all shop majors. Jim Epperly finds this quite fasci- nating. Woodworking classes learn how to finish the wood as well as to make a project. Bill Waymire, Jerry Cald- well, and John Tomey (before he lost a finger) pre- pare chests for the finish. Ag boys are instructed in today's mod- em farm implements and farming tech- niques . They take field trips to local farms to judge livestock. They participate in county poultry, livestock, grain, dairy, and soil judging contests throughout the school year and bring home many ribbons .

The challenging world of homemaking is opened through the enlightening Home Eco- nomics classes taught by Miss Sue Raymer, a new addition to the F.H.S. faculty. Be- ginning classes are taught the fundamentals of clothing and foods, while advanced classes, usually seniors, are primarily concerned with child care and development. Every sophomore girl works diligently to gain points towards her Home Nursing pin, awarded each spring. To prepare himself better for a job after school, Ron Ritter gets first hand knowledge by actual experi- ence in running the metal lathe. Will Hart demonstrates proper procedure in running a drill press to fellow student Steve Davenport. 23

Students Earn Credits During Summer Summer school students take a speed test as a part of the sum- mer school program in typing. Summer school offers students an opportunity to earn extra credits and to take courses not offered during the regular school year. Driver Education, Music Theory, and an eight weeks typing class along with the summer band program rounded out the credit summer school curriculum. An athletic pro- gram under the supervision of Mr. Paul Davis kept some 100 youngsters as well as the baseball team busy. With some driver ed groups beginning at 6 AM classes ran until early afternoon. Teachers for the summer classes included David Meek, Ted Harbit, Keith Davis, Robert Barker and David Bartlow. Mike Davenport and Debbie VanBrig- gle seem happy about taking their fi- nal drivers test. Good depth perception is an important part of being a good driver.
