PMT process ch by Pat Hagan A new PMT process for reducing the type size of the school paper was one of the changes in the Yellow Jacket. Other changes included floating head- lines such as Viewpoint and BR Sports , and also doing more stories that required investigations, accord- ing to Jim Lemon, co-editor. Ms. Esther Sullivan was the newspa- per advisor and also taught library sci- ence. Library science taught students how to use the library resources and also how to keep a record of all the books. On the newspaper staff Jim Lemon and Darren Webb were co-edi- tors and Holly Klitus was assistant edi- tor. Ms. Nancy Stidham was the year- book advisor. She took a maternity leave of absence during the third nine weeks. Jim Lemon was the editorial advisor and Laura James was the edi- tor-in-chief for Cresta Azul '79. lt was a confusing 9 weeks while Ms. Stidham was away and as a result we ended up doing about QOWJ of the cinges Yellow Jacket style book during the last nine weeks of school. However, I think the staff did an excellent job on their pages, Laura said. The newspaper, yearbook and graphic arts students went to Flagstaff on March 15 to visit NAU, Northland Press, and the Arizona Daily Sun. The field trip was the highlight of the year for the journalism students. ,Nw 58 JOURNAUSM 3

Voccitioncil clcisses drive bcickhoes cmd nciils by Larry L. Atwell How many people drive a backhoe to class? lVlr. Waldo's Construction class students learned to drive every- thing from a backhoe to nails. In addi- tion to construction, the vocational department also offered woodshop, drafting, auto shop and resource classes. In construction class the students spent many hours learning how to use all types of tools, materials, and proc- esses in carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, concrete work, and heavy equipment. Mr. Waldo felt that, This class is necessary to let students experience a number of construction trades in order to give them a variety of vocational skills. Drafting students learned to draw blueprints for buildings and machin- ery using such tools as the T-square, 45 triangle, 30-60 triangle and ruler. Woodshop provided basic lessons on building houses, cabinets, and fur- niture using saws, hammers, and power tools. A variety of woodworking skills were provided for students rang- ing from beginners to advanced. ln auto shop, students worked with diagnostic testing machinery and hand tools. As Mr. Currier put it, The class is not a must but it can teach a trade and can provide a learning expe- rience which will enable the student to fix his own car. Resource students concentrated on basic academic skills such as reading, math, spelling and writing. The stu- dents were given individualized help to teach them survival skills for the future. As Nlr. Peterson said, Our resource class is necessary for Blue Ridge students who need additional help in certain academic areas and who may need the added support that individualized teaching methods pro- vide. Ms. Sorenson added These skills will help them in the future. l TQ 60 WOODSHOP
