Working out a math equation requires the total concentration of sophomore, Debbie Siemiller rubs her head in amazement as Joni Lange. her instructor describes a formula. MATH A Fraction of the Problem Mathematics included many classes and corresponding skills to challenge the enrolled student. Mr. Bob Kenyon and Mr. Paul Oliff instructed the upper classes, and Mr. Barry Jahn taught General Math and Algebra IA. The math classes included many different areas all the way up to Calculus, though only a few seniors were enrolled. Competencies in the Math Department ranged from basic problems to the very difficult problems which required indepth concentration and knowledge of the area involved. Each instructor had a different method of teaching, but the most popular seemed to be giving assignments and using class discussion as a tool to learning. Junior, Bobbie Jacobsen studies a problem from her Algebra II class. I £ Math 17

ARTS AND CRAFTS CREATIVE SKILLS ENHANCED Joni Green and Leslie Miller try to look up an idea for a project in Crafts I class. “You can create something yourself that reflects how you feel about your environment,” stated art teacher, Mrs. Pat Baker, while speaking of the importance of art to the young person. The ideal of artistic creation included many different sections, all covered by Basic Art Elements, Ceramics, Painting, and Crafts. Creative projects were seen throughout the year in various art displays found in the show cases. Weaving (which included spinning and dying of yarn), batiks, pottery and large paper mache’ sculptures were a sample of the projects involving students. Interest in art grew considerably and due to limited space and facilities, many students were turned away. Young artists went to Portland in December and visited the Art Museum and commercial art school galleries. Later in the year they visited the OCE Student Art Show in Monmouth and the Bush Barn exhibitions in Salem.

AGRICULTURE Off-Campus Activities Noted The Agriculture Department, under department head Robert Burnham regained the use of the greenhouse located behind the new shop area, which had been without electricity for the past year. Another program, which few people know about, is the four acres of land which is used for experimental farming by the agriculture students. The acres provided an opportunity for those enrolled to apply classroom instruction to actual land production. Field trips were also a popular event with students. These included journeys to a farm, where they learned skills ranging from field production to livestock management. Two seniors snow the importance ot wearing protective glasses, while welding farm equipment for an agriculture project.
