Some of the future professionals chose unique occupations to study and learn. Lee Thomason, interested in the production and use of lasers, built and operated his own laser with the help of his mentor. The market- ing program employed a large number of students. They put in parttime hours at local stores an learned techniques useful to the marketing of clothing and other items. The students also investigated law, politics, accounting, and even mortuary science. When asked if the program provided him with a worthwhile experience Lee replied, uThe programts really great and it helps us decide what we want to do in the future.

Science Club members visited the veteri- nary school at Virginia Tech, the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Zoo in Wash- ington DC. The club also looked forward to a trip to Hawaii over the summer. Dr. Rebecca Ross, the club sponsor, took many of the young scientists on a hike to Tinker Cliffs on the Appalachian Trail. They studied the wildlife and vegetation of the area.

A little lecture During seventh period, Mrs, Sue Harris lectures to her somewhat small government class. E s ectant Loriggdi ler places an egg precari- ously on the edge of an open locker, being careful not to let it fall. Toni Meore Psyched u Darlaine Cou ter and Tracey Gray participate in a group discussion in their psychol- ogy class. Kim Zawacki Ilaga Despite the Easter eggs and ornaments, one wondered The state mandated the knowledge of formulas, theorems, cultures, and gov- ernmental principals, but the unusual and creative things made the necessary classes a little bit more bearable for students. Some math classes released a little pre- Chn'stmas energy by using the skills they,d learned in class to plot seasonal designs on graph paper. Mrs. Sandra Fergusonts geometry classes created Christmas tree oma- ments of card board and wrapping paper in the form of geometric solids. Mrs. Debora Swecker's classes were treated to an Eas- ter egg hunt the day before spring break. Hidden inside each plastic egg were two jellybeans and a problem to work for credit towards a m Math and Social Studies e- 145 Toni Moore 5 this necessary? homework grade. More fun for most than finding the eggs though, was hiding them for the next class in places like the pencil sharpener and on top of the intercom. A more serious way to apply knowledge was the regional mathematics con- test at Virginia Western Community College. Forty- three Cave Spring students participated in November, with eleven of them winning certificates. Trenor Williams and Tofer Chagnon placed first in their separate divi- sions, and the school placed second over all. Social studies students applied their knowledge in a different way. In April, 16 Advanced Government stu- dents traveled to Virginia Military Institute to take part in a model of the United Nations Security Council. Students became the mock delegates of countries in the UN. and were faced with dilemas that had to be resolved. Other students of the same class took part in Roanoke County Student Govern- ment Day in May during which they took the places of local elected officials.
