Greenhouse structure completion re(|uire i a combi- nation of blueprints, supplies, and knowledge for Tod Cain, Rick Shrock, and Jack Atkinson. While going through procedures of making a gar- ment, Kim Hawk is deeply involved in completing her clothing project for Home Economics cUss. Some were complicated Students in math found they could solve problems in two ways. They could create their own formulas or follow the one in the book. The easiest, of course, was following the book. There were math formulas such as cos ( B)= cos cosB sin sinB, tan = cot, and E=vh. Many classes used formulas in their work. For example, English class required the knowledge of writing a term paper, complete with footnoting and bibliogra- phies. Debits and credits equal a ledger was used by all bookkeeping students. Social Studies required the skills to make an out- line from the notes taken during lectures and reading. In almost every class there was some type of formula being used. Lab in chemistry required several for- mulas and ways to put them to use. V- was used by students to get the frequency waves. E=hv helped solve for energy. Formulas must be practiced and used if they are to be helpful, stated Teresa Brown about her chemistry experiences. Sugar, flour, and lots of concentration on recipes were used in Brewin Singles. Whether it was baking bread, cooking a meal, or just taking a test, formulas were to be followed. Sewing required cutting skills, following instructions, and using pattern formulas. Knowing what lines to pin on, where to cut, and what to sew took common knowl- edge and following the formulas it took to complete the outfit being made. Even the detailed pages of this yearbook took on this important idea. Arranging the pictures so they would fit and then scaling them with proportion instruments to fit the specified spot required a formula routine. A little extra time is required to follow the exact recipe. Mike Bryant tries to prepare the perfect dish during Brewin Singles class. Developing By Fonmilas 43

Probably the most frequent communicators arc re- porters. Robin Haines, journalism, interviews Dave Reidy, athlete, for a personality sketch. Communicating to learn Communicating refers to more than just conversation. Students in class must learn to communicate in many other ways. For example, ideas are transferred through books, particularly in Social Stud- ies, Literature, Psychology, and Mass Communications. They are also exposed to many ideas and thoughts in using the li- brary. They can look in newspapers, pam- phlets, and magazines to establish commu- nications with the past. The Publications Department commu- nicates with every student who reads the BruINformer or Reflections. The depart- ment reports and publishes the news bi- weekly. Other than the usual activities, journalism students report and interview outside celebrities as well as school per- sonnel. The yearbook staff also communi- cates a complete record of the year ' s ac- tivities and happenings by publishing the Reflections. It is a year-long process and becomes a reference book to students and staff. Music is another way in which people communicate. It is often called the uni- versal language to express feelings. No vocabulary is necessary. Students sing out their emotions and, in some cases, add spe- cial meanings. Announcements read over both the P.A. system and TV is the way the student body learned what was going on in the school. Information on the TV Blackford To- day Show, included the weather, sports, and special interviews. Open House also gave teachers a way of communicating with parents. They dis- cussed how their children were doing in class, and suggested methods of improve- ment. BruINformer ' s sports page is Joe Leeth ' s medium for communicating sports information to the student body while working in Publications. Sending his homing pigeon, as a way of communicat- ing on a science class mission is David Martin. Dave raised birds as profitable hobby. Developing By Comnmnicaring 45
