Working with the hands was a necessity in the Agriculture, Industrial Education, Art, and Consumer Education Departments. Carving and crafting helped to uncover students' hidden talents. Independent study in the Agriculture Department became a new program. Observing animal subject matter such as sheep, beef, and swine was part of the course. Supplied with a new building, otherwise known as the combination shop, the agricultural building held the ROP Heavy Equment and Maintenance, Ag Shop for Ag Mechanists, Welding, and constructing classes. While the Agriculture Department received the new building, industrialists employed new teachers. Mr. James Capps in Motorcycle Repair took over for Mr. David Gale who transferred to LHS. Because Mr. Richard Bittaker had extra duty patroling the campus, Mr. Clarence Fritz acquired the iob of teaching the ROP Reinforced Fiber Glass class. Industrial Education Department Head Jim Westmoreland commented, We have a good Industrial Department this year because Mr. Harry Bartley is teaching drafting, Mr. Bill Ray instructs auto, Mr. Tom Evans directs machinists -trainings Mr. Richard Bittaker teaches electronics, and I guided the woodworking program. With only two teachers in the Art Department, class offering were limited. Changing Textiles class to Art Hangups was the only additional change to the department. On March 8, I977, the Art Department exhibited student artwork in the Student Center. This presentation to the public was also sponsored by the Music Department. Coeducational Consumer Education classes made students realize that the responsibility of home lives pertained to both sexes. Students learned new challenges in all the classes. Ms. Florence Kugleman felt that every young man and woman can benefit from the Consumer Education's program and that consumerism is everyone's business in today's economy. I.

MHS's system functioned smoothly this year with the aid of the librarians, campus supervisor, nurses, and the Special Education Department. In the library, new paraphernalia added to the efficiency of the system. Social lssues Resources Series binders containing information about recent developments and nostalgia sound films based on movies widened use of the library. Office-practice and library-science students helped the staff to keep the library running smoothly. Besides use by bookworms, library space was used by the California Associated Student Council lCASCl, arena scheduling, and the teacher-school board negotiating committee. Making sure students went to the library and other places with valid passes, Campus Supervisor Bobbie Bowles covered both North and South Campuses. Patroling steadily and surveying the area made it a hard iob for one person. Ms. Bowles commented, I would like to see additional help to cure the unseen activities. Nurse Marjorie Cosens had additional help. Aid Lynn Hendrix was added to assist in emergencies. Because of limited funds, only one registered nurse could be hired for both high schools. Even with the limited funds, LHS and MHS received good health service. Scoliosis screening for freshmen became a new program. This test checked for curvature in the spine. lf detected, the student was referred to his family physician and a letter was also sent to the parents. Ms. Cosens felt that the Health Office would be more adequately used if it was located on the South Campus. Trying to find a location for the Health Office on South Campus was not as hard as trying to find rooms for the Special Education Department. Sharing a room with the Home Economics and Adult Education classes caused problems. Audio-video equipment could not be stored in the room for fear of vandalism. Students worked on their own individual levels to increase their practical knowledge for everyday life. Mr. Alex Pappas, Special Education teacher, said that there were good materials to work with and that the kids were enthusiastic Ms. Bobbie Bowles M36 campus supervisor fl OW T0 N USE THE
