Arts Crafts Johnson Stresses School Service Dividing his time between painting, ceramics and crafts, newcomer Mr. Doug Johnson worked hard to involve the highly varied group of student artists. A wide range of talent was reflected in an equally wide range of art mediums used, with sculpture and painting being the dominant. One special project which was involving much input and response from his students was the new Oriental Dragon planning, which he was a part of. This project will likely continue on into the Fall of 1983. Johnson was assisted by Mrs. Pat Baker who instructed the Art Survey classes. 1 1. Art teacher Mr. Doug Johnson poses for the camera. 2.

Cooks Forbes Offers Ideas With a new district coordinator in the person of Audrey Forbes, the food service program took a turn for the better. Mrs. Forbes responded to student surveys and worked to bring changes for improvement. In cooperation with head cook Helen Teal and her assistants, changes were made to respond to concerns. Popular foods were tacos, spagetti, weiner wraps and lasagna and, of course, hamburgers and french fries. A new salad bar was opened and proved very successful. Between it and the a la carte window, students were able to move through lines quicker than ever. Help in the kitchen was provided by Georgia Parks who worked as a fry cook and Judy Garvis who worked with food preparation and on the serving line. Using students to fill in and on clean up, the group was able to hold the line on food costs, with the average meal costing about $1.03. Altogether about 281 students and teachers were served each day and, as in the past, government surplus staples helped take the bite out of the school lunch to taxpayers. 1.

Language Arts Preparatory English Added As did many departments, the language arts program under went several changes in the transition to a four year high school. Adding on one new class, preperatory English was a necessity. (This class is a semester required course for freshman, designed to enhance clear effective writing, problems in grammar, and sentence structure and spelling.) The language arts department also had two teachers added to the staff. Veteran high school teacher Sal Passantino was assigned several classes of preparatory English and newcomer from La-Creole, Loren Warner was given several speech fundamentals courses (The beginning course in speech) and Comprehensive English I (The one class which reviews all basic parts of English.) “I’ve notice that more people have been getting away from the “Mickey Mouse” type of classes and are taking classes that will help them in college”, stated language arts department head, Jim Fairchild. “As an example about 50% of all seniors have taken the college writing course which is a college credited class given through Chemeketa Community College. Another change involved the newspaper production class. Yearbook advisor Bob Schiopen took on the responsibility for both the Dragon yearbook and the Dragon Tales newspaper. With increased enrollment in these classes and in theatre classes, as well, the language arts program continued strong. 4 V ' !' ,s, 1 ■ ■ vv Bfl 1.
