Practical And Artistic Skills Developed Mr. Ken Snoddy B.S. Northeastern State College Metal Shop, Arts and Crafts Mechanical Drawing Mr. Paul Snider B.S., M. Ed Oregon State College Woodshoo, General Mechanics During the latter part of May, beautiful woodcraft articles were displayed in the trophy window of the school. These projects typified the work that has been done by the woodshop class, and, with many other artistic objects, were shown at an annual open house held Wednesday, May 25. The industrial arts section of the high school combines not only woodshop, but also mechanical drawing, arts and crafts, and metal shop. This department also produces the props and backdrops for the school plays, a service for which the recognition they receive is much too meager. Three ardent fishermen, Jim Hefner, Dennis Armstrong, and Lawrence Gill entertain Shop Open House guests by demonstrating the correct procedure for making sinkers.

Course Develops Driving Skills Driver's Training. . .the proving ground for future road (space) pilots. Under the direction of Mr. Ted DeGroat, all eager sophomores and juniors participate to make this one of the liveliest classes around. While humorous incidents occur regularly, the experience gained by enrollees greatly overshadows the mistakes made by these novice drivers. Before venturing onto the roadways, a three-weeks course in the fundamentals, such as turning signals, stop lights, and changing lanes, introduces the student to the rules and regulations he must follow on the highway. If he is successful in the driver's permit test, which is given in the school laboratory twice yearly, he then begins practical application of the principles he has learned. However, before the class drives on the streets, a practice session is first held on the school grounds, at which the students gain skill in handling the car. Each class convenes for only one semester, replacing a regular term of physical education. Credit is due to Southwestern Motors, because they have donated new Chevrolets to the driver's training classes for a period of thirteen years. Mr. Ted DeGroat ponders an important question: Shall I enter this car? Crystal Woodruff heads line of students taking the Drivers' Permit Test.

E., Health Mr. Greig receives basketball trophy from Senior class president, Roger Sanders. Behind and to the right of Roger are coaches Kingham, Vlcek and Fritz. Good Physical Condition Aids Mental Growth Exercises - more exercises - routine complaints about sore muscles echoing from both the large and small gyms. Mrs. Ellery and Mr. Vlcek have really carried through a vigorous program of varied and complex activities this year. This program has perhaps produced a somewhat healthier and more cor-ordinated student body. Basketball, volleyball, tumbling, baseball; these were but a few of the programs carried through. Besides the time they have spent in class, many students also participated in the noon intra-murals programs of volleyball and similar sports. Coach Vlcek presented several awards to deserving athletes at the final awards assembly. Tommy Leatherwood and LeRoy Phillips examine the structure of the eye.
