INDUSTRIAL ARTS You've Come A Long Way, Baby One part of DHS's curriculum which increases in popularity every year is the industrial arts department. For the first time girls enrolled in Mr. Brooks Wagner's wood shop class. This popular craftsman also instructed a class dealing with electricity. With five classes of metal shop Mr. Gary Thayer had a full schedule. Attending Chemeketa Community College in the evening for further work in metals were Jack Kelley, Walter Jarcho, and Frank Robinson. Wider and more sophisticated projects insured this subject a permanent place in the high school. Part ofany project in wood shop is the correct cut of the various parts of the layout.

MODERN PROBLEMS, AMERICAN AND WORLD HISTORY Last Year for Core Instruction 1970 marked the fifth and last year of successful team teaching at DHS. Department head Mr. Bob Cantonwine was aided by regulars Mr. Del Kerber, Mr. Paul Ward, and Mr. Dave Leonard, (an OCE intern). Movies about the Civil War and the 1930's helped emphasize two of the favorite topics covered in U.S. History while relevancy seemed to be the key work in presentation of materials for both large and intermediate groups. Seniors in Modern Problems especially enjoyed the unit on Communism as well as speakers Mr. Alden Schmidt, real estate dealer, and Mr. Jack Brown, First California Company stockbroker. There was an absence of the usual gamut of politicians due to an off year election-wise. Mr. Dewey Tuttle's World History classes dealt with both myths and facts, making the class worth any students time and effort. Twisted Cross, a film on Hitler's life, clearly holds the attention of 3rd period American History class. Mr. Kerber gives a look of resignation while department head Bob Cantonwine and Paul Ward confer about a lecture on the Communist state. 30 Sally Selby, Alice Thatcher, Betty Uppendahl, Donna Salisgiver, and Joe tional unit of Modern Problems.
