THE WORKING CLASS Forgotten pencils forced many buyers to go to the D.E. store before school in the morning. Distributive Education students gained experience as they stood behind the counter selling pen- cils, pens, paper, notebooks, and erasers. Class began every day with a lesson on advertising, prevention of shoplifting, or self-service selling, but ended with laughter and stories about on-the-job experiences. Most D.E. students had after school jobs, but Mr. Sunbury kept a watchful eye for openings for the unemployed. All Distributive Education students belonged to the DECA club. They participated in many projects and traveled places, but nothing compared with planning and holding their own rally. DECA members from neighboring schools flocked to the fall rally where they played the Gong Show. Chargers dressed with pillow case heads and one as a duck danced their way into third place. Mealtime was more fun for the students than it was for the clean-up crew as the students preferred their chicken salad on the cafeteria walls, floors, tables, and chairs rather then in their stomaches. Even though there were a few mischievous students present, the rally was successful. Stanley Hawthorne effects a business transaction with Judy Davis in the D.E. Your order please?

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. FROG Do you have rocks in your head? Probably so if you took science. Rocks aren ' t all you ' ve got in your head, though. There are also rivers, stars, chemicals, and even frogs. In the beginning you discovered Earth-Space science. Here you saw the formation of the earth, stars, and far-away planets. The next step was life: Biology. Students, shocked by the arguments over the evolution of man, began falling off their stools; but they picked themselves up in time to see open-heart surgery performed on a frog. Student volunteers pricked their fingers and gave a little blood, not to the poor dying frog, but to Mrs. Potts to determine their blood types. Students were on their own as they moved up to Chemistry, now on the work at your own rate contract system. Students performed experiments to observe physical and chemical changes, but the most obvious change was in the students themselves. With the simple addition of goggles and aprons they transformed from normal students into bug-eyed Dr. Jekylls. Despite popping nitro- gen and smelly gasses, the worst task for the young chemists was washing dishes. The final science available was Physics. Since the students couldn ' t charter a rocket ship and blast off into outerspace, they settled for the next best thing, a visit to Morehead Planetarium. One night as they huddled out on the football field searching the heavens through the trusty telescope, they zoomed in on Jupiter and five of its moons, as well as our own moon. Another night this group gathered on Mrs. Barnes ' s farm to photograph star trails. This class had really put their energy into motion. Bernard Tisdale measures to discover how much weight and force it takes for Jo-Jeen Rusak to move an object in Physics. See Anything? Mrs. Potts focuses the microscope and scans for organisms while Jeanette Davis watches in Biology. Sublimation, the process of a solid changing directly to a gas, is observed in Chemistry class by George Clark and Donnie Kendrick. Earth-Space science students search for materials to help them finish their modules. Science 97
