VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS It seems that our goodwill ambassadors of Alex are the members of Vo. Ag. and Ind. Arts classes. This year the Industrial Arts class made special equipment for handicapped students at Shade along with providing the seniors with steps at their gradu- ation. Not to be outdone by this generosity, the Vocational Agriculture class made a bus shelter for Spreading Oaks Trailer Court and a teetertotter and sandbox for the Albany Junior High. Top: 1.

HOME ECONOMICS When the scent of hot bread or pizza fills the halls, every- one knows what room it’s coming from and the crowds begin to form around the Home Economics and Family Living room doors. But, contrary to popular belief, cooking is not all you do in these classes. You learn to survive in a world that you might be alone in someday, and you also learn how to relate to people. Your classmates become a second family. A very close family. Family Living and Home Economics can be very useful classes. Since most students either get married or move out of the home, these classes are a big help in making a home of your own. So, if your life-long ambition has been to be a famous chef, or a world renowned dress de- signer, then maybe Family Living or Home Ec. is what you’ve been waiting for. Top: 1.

HISTORY Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb? When was the War of 1812 fought? A history test?? Dream on!! There is a wide range of history classes at Alex and none are easy, but they’re all a lot of fun. Whether you have Mr. Barnhill, and take a trip down the Nile River in Ancient His- tory; Mr. Houdasheldt, and visit a castle in Medieval; or Mrs. Wood, and tour a battle ground of the Civil War; we guarantee a good time. What??! You say you don’t like history? Well then, how about a good government course? Federal, State Local, or Constitutional Government; pick one, anyone, it doesn’t really matter since they’re all sure to provide hot discussions and countless debates prompt- ed by Mr. Barnhill. If history and government don’t interest you, give our teachers time and they’ll have you hooked. Top: I. Nancy Wood, History, English Civ- ics. 2. Terry Barnhill. Government. Histo- ry. 3.
