Communicating With The Students Practical Prepare For The Future raditional accademic curricu- lums have been expanded through the years to include practical courses for students who do not plan to go to college or who desire to take courses that will enhance their personal lives. Any typical day in the H wing may be anything but ordinary. The corridors may be filled with the smell of pizza, the whirl of sewing machines, or the strands of Here Comes the Bride. 'f z,. Students not only participated in these traditional activities but also were in- troduced to the importance of consum- er education and the benefits of good nutrition. Vocational and industrial courses of- fered mechanical and architectual drawing. We designed houses with wa- ter and electrical systems, said Daryl Mozisek. Building trades had the realis- tic experience of building a house with students from J. A. Fair. Our printing department offered students the exper- ience of actually running a business as they printed on school newspaper and material for many local businesses. ln- dustrial Cooperative Training allowed students to work and earn credits at the same time. Distributive Education offered stu- dents practical work experience and knowledge of business operations.

Communicating With The Elements Students Become Involved With Everything From Bugs To Boron. 3 hat classes do you associate g with the science depart- ++ ' ment? If you only remember your biology class and the activities of suffering from poison ivy while trudg- ing through the woods looking for flow- ers and under the rocks for bugs, you are depriving yourself of the many dif- ferent courses offered. Chemistry was offered as an ad- vanced placement course for those wanting to take the test to earn college credit. Both chemistry and physics were a lecture type class like a college course. Labs were used in the physics class to test formulas and test how much students learned in the lectures. Testing chemical reactions and reliabi- lities of elements were just a few of the chemistry labs. 94fSc1ence Biology and zoology were courses de- signed to classify the many different types of animals and learn their com- plex organs by a means of disecting and by studying microscopic organisms. I want to become a veterinarian so disect- ing animals for observation and learn- ing their different parts will benefit me for my future as a vet, said Junior Chad Martin. 2 M Preparing for an upcoming lab is sophomore Marcia Meyers. Students, such as sophomore Rodney Allan, receive a general study of biology in a life science COUFSC.
