Political And Sports Personalities Visit Campus In The Fall On September 7, 1982, Senator Howell Heflin was welcomed to Carroll High School. He was introduced to a stu- dent group in the library by Dr. John H. Mosley, superintendent of Ozark City Schools. Other dignataries present in- cluded Mayor Billy Blackmon. “Howell Heflin is a very colorful citizen,” stated Dr. Mosley. Heflin received his Baccalau- reate Degree from Birmingham Southern, and later received his law degree from the University of Alabama. He was the recipient of the citizen of the year award in 1975 and he served as Chief Executive Officer during World War II. His address was directed to a group of students, teachers, townspeople and oth- er V.I.P.’s. This type of meeting is called a “town meeting” which serves the pur- pose of keeping the Senator up to date with the views of the people he repre- sents. According to Heflin the idea of town meetings was conceived in New England during the Colonial Period. Heflin’s speech consisted of a presen- tation of “Down the Road Problems”. He predicted a scientific revolution within the next ten to fifteen years. Included in this revolution will be lasar technology, nuclear fusion, and solar energy. Accord- ing to Heflin, the potential in these three fields is tremendous. Heflin seemed to feel very strongly about the revitalization of U.S. military strength and a sound educational system. He made it very clear that we Americans will have to stick together and “give 100% to our country if we are to survive and continue to call this great country of ours America.” — Mitsi McCoy 14 Visitors

Advanced Technology In Health And Business H.O.S.A. Uses Technology To Promote Health Care Services Service is their main goal. Health Occupations (better known as H.O.S.A.) is based at the Ozark Voca- tional School. From that base students interested in health occupations work with Mrs. Burnie Kelley in developing first hand knowledge of hospital and lab work. The H.O.S.A. students spend two hours a week at the Dale County Hos- pital learning and assisting in perform- ing health care activities. They per- form heart tests on E.K.G. machines. They assist in the X-ray department and in the laboratory. In the top pic- ture students learn to test hearing — a process that is used to test our own students, as well as students in the elementary and middle schools. Pic- tured below are students working with a “learning stethoscope.” Blood pres- sure tests are given to the public by the students, free of charge, several times a year. Training and real life situations are the by-words for this ser- vice-oriented VICA group. Performing hearing tests are Carolyn Johnson, Wanda Hawkins, Tammy Turner, Jackie Deloney, Brooke Heath, Amy Harrington, and Susan Turcotte. Blood pressure. Readings are given to Sheila Richardson by H.O.S.A. members.
