A GRICUL TURE Foresters Dominate Utilizing the experience of Mr. Bob Burnham and Mr. Lowell Buswell as mainstays of the agricultural program, those enrolled profited from a variety of out-of-class experiences. Forestry enrollees gained much from treks to Boise Cascade Paper Mills, Willamette Industries and various Christmas tree farms. Lumber utilization, commercial applications and problems of thinning and upkeep were all studied. Each student also planted a number of trees on the school tree farm and received instruction in chain saw operation, as well. Classroom time concentrated on study of hardwoods, softwoods, underbrush and starting seedlings. Meanwhile the agriculture classes worked in the greenhouse on plant propagation and utilized John Deere educational materials for the classroom. Various farms were visited while studying farm management, and those involved also toured Ftickreall Farm Supply, where heavy equipment was studied. A more intensive area of study involved investigation of the pesticide-insecticide controversy. Competition was keen for Dallas students at the District shop skills contest, where they failed to place. Agriculfure 23

HOME EC. Bags of Goodies Teaching the Home Ec sections were staff members Mrs. Jackie Gwinn and Mrs. Jeannie Lough. They stated that they enjoyed their classes and the year; they were also very pleased with the enrollment. Having four boys sign up for Family Living second semester was encouraging. They hoped that more boys would sign up in the future. The most enjoyable classes offered included Tailoring, where coats and blazers were made and Foods, where hordes of would-be cooks were seen in the hall with their little brown bags of goodies. Child Care, Family Living and Home Furnishings were other classes offered. Activities in these classes included teacher demonstration, class work and the Friday free day, where students completed projects of their own choosing. Another accomplishment for the Home Ec. department was their Senior DeAnna Roquet, who was a district finalist in sewing.

LANGUAGE ARTS Klein Remembered Attempting to adjust to the loss of an important member of the Comp-English Team and a long time drama director, as well as a dear friend; the language arts staff paused to reflect on the sudden death of their associate John Klein. Occurring in mid-October, his death caused much grief and a feeling of emptiness among fellow teachers. After officials interviewed a number of applicants, Mr. Corby Ward was selected as a replacement instructor for the remainder of the year and those involved made necessary adjustments and carried out their routine duties. Staff meetings were a bare minimum, as the emphasis was placed on classroom application of course goals and objectives. Wrestling with a “bare-bones” budget, the instructors made extensive use of free and low-rental films and readily available supplies like magazines and newspapers. Comp. English II was offered for the first time to those seeking greater depth, with advanced literature, speaking skills and college writing stressed. As more students got work releases, the demand for early classes increased and a number of English classes met that demand. According to Chairman Jim Fairchild, the year went well, with positive gains at least partly offsetting the setbacks faced by staff. 1: Magician Patrick Page visits the Intro to Journalism class to help them write a feature story. 2: Mr. Ken Hankland talks about the future ol Spanish classes at D.H.S. 3: Corby Ward. 4: Mr. Sal Passantino.
