Home Economics, Ind. Arts Show Talent Fine furniture was designed and made by Wood Shop students in the Industrial Arts Department this past year. Students enrolled in Graphic Arts received on-the-iob-training . These students helped print the Shortridge Daily Echo and other publications, put out during the school year. Other Wood Shop students learned welding and industrial skills. New to the department this year, was Mr. Don McCaully, linotype operator in Graphic Arts. While advanced Home Economics students kept up with the latest styles, they also experimented with new ideas. Beginning students sometimes became professional zipper rippers, ripping out many of the zippers they had worked so hard to put in their clothes. Proper diet and cooking techniques were taught in Foods classes. Cooking simple foods and then moving ahead to gourmet items, the advanced stu- dents became the pride of the Home Ec. department. Family living students analyzed domestic problems in class. They ex- changed ideas on divorce, marital ad- iustment and child care problems.

l i l if Scientific Activities Enhance School Year Being in one of Mr. King s Physics classes can lead to strange things like dropping balls out of win- dows Greg Strand prepares to let go as the class observe this motionfrate experiment. Dropping bowling balls out of win- dows was iust one of the many proi- ects of students taking Physics under the guidance of Mr. Don King, Science Department head. The King also had a hand in several other scientific experiments. Among the many ad- venturous Physics-Chemistry proiects was a behavioral study of liquid nitro- gen. This experiment resulted in the shattering of several rubber balls. Many Chemistry students recalled that their most memorable classroom experience was filling the third floor corridor with a pungent odor. The creation of organic compounds was coupled with a nostril-opening aroma that was shared by everyone who happened to be on the same side of the building. Squeamish Biology students were the subject of many after-school con- versations. Dissection was a big part of the course for most students. Some professed to find it quite repulsive. Of course, there were always those iron-stomached students who never flinched at the sight of blood. Studying the anatomy of a grasshopper gives Biology student Matt Donnegan insight into the complex structure of Acrididaes. fl r' ,,V.,. 1 , ,.
