Later in the year students travelled to the Malheur Bird Refuge near Burns where they spotted the rare Whistler swans. Helping with bird banding at Lake Lowell Wildlife Refuge afforded young biologists an opportunity to learn bird management in this area. Growing the comparatively rare ama- ryllis in the Horticulture class enhanced Thanksgiving decor for green-thumbed students. Mr. Leatham directed the col- orlul spring and fall plantings on the school grounds. New to the Math Department were Mrs. Rudd and Mr. Purdy. Seven advanced math classes helped students prepare for further math experience, Two semester credits in math are required for graduation. Most students meet this requirement in junior high school. But math is a popular elective.
