Members on a page From initiation to graduation, school life was off the wall. There were the good times and the bad times and the Laurel cameras caught much of it. Remember initiating freshmen for the first week and meeting new friends? Or when we slaughtered the Myrtle Point Bobcats in football, cross country, wrestling, and basketball? How about the Senior Ball and Junior Prom? They were very romantic and high-class evenings. School would not have been school if there weren't the bad times. Not making it to state in football or basketball. The famous Short reports that the seniors had to do to graduate. Seniors and juniors who had to take the PSAT and SAT tests. Being an incoming freshman and having to go through initiation for a whole week. The devastating final exams at the end of each semester. Even though we may not see some of our friends or schoolmates later in life, we can reminisce about these good and bad times. The bizarre times and the boring times made school interesting.

The senior bench and heater were popular places to go and chat with friends or just watch people walk by. Shelly Blohm, Becky Capps.

Bob Berryhill helps put up signs in English III which deal with using colons, semicolons, and commas. There was not only school work to do in class, but students did have free time. Shon Buckingham is bowing in front of an intimidating, unknown senior. The freshmen class was tormented the whole week until they became Red Devils. Caught in the act of being crazy are Arnie Hill, Kelly Burg, and Kevin Moss. Senioriotis was something that seniors caught that made them relaxed and bizarre. tKlRCIBCY WIT OMIT mu

Ben Goddard, with help from Billy Harris, uses the drill in the Horticulture room. The piece that was being drilled was then used on the tractor. Agriculture teaches skills The vocational agriculture classes did many things. In Horticulture, the students learned how to plant and water. The plants that they grew were sold at the FFA plont sales in the spring. While the plants were growing, the students were in the classroom learning all about plants. They learned about plant diseases and their cures. They were taught about bugs and what to do to get rid of them. While in Horticulture the students also learned how to prepare the soil for planting. The Horticulture class did its part to help beautify the school as the students planted plants and shrubs around the school. The money earned from the previous year’s plant sales went to help pay for trips to contests on such subjects as soil, meat, and rituals. Junior Brian States had this to say obout why he liked Horticulture: “Not having to sit in class. You get out and do things. There is a wide variety of things to do. In Vocational Agriculture I, the students did such things as wood working, gas and arc welding, some shop skills, building plant boxes, and the salmon and trout enhancement program (STEP). The students also got some time in the greenhouse to help improve their plant production skills. Said freshman Shon Buckingham about welding, I learned a new skill and had a lot of fun doing it. The STEP program continued to help the trout and salmon population in the creeks in this area. STEP’S work was at the middle school as the students cleaned the creek below the middle school. Usually the Vocational Agriculture ll lll class learned to drive the tractor. The students also had to rebuild the engine block before the tractor could be run. After the tractor was fixed, the students got the opportunity to drive it. The class also worked in the greenhouse and with the STEP program. Summing up the Ag activities, sophomore John Caddell said, You got a lot of experience that you can use in future jobs.
