Mathematics Fundamentals Stressed Of the twenty-eight courses offered in the math area a few courses have experienced a big increase in the enrollment of students, a factor which has affected all classes and subjects. Of special note is the dramatic increase in computer-related classes and general math to meet the requirement for frosh. Teachers added to the high school staff from LaCreole, included Don Brostrom, Dick Fobert, and Paula Lockhart. Staff changes in the department made it necessary for them to teach in different rooms, shift between class periods, and teach courses that have not been taught before. The fundamentals of math were stressed in all classes and students seemed to be more self-motivated, over past years. l 1. Jack Marshall works hard on his assignment in general math. 2. Mr. Paul Olliff helps some girls with an Algebra I problems. 3. Mr. Bob Kenyon shows Christy Domaschofsky how he treats students when they miss a geometry problem.

Agriculture Tractor Projects Handled Agriculture experienced budget reductions that forced a delay in the construction of a metal fence to prevent vandalism around the greenhouse area. The program also had to postpone other expansion plans, as well. Time was mostly spent on traditional plant husbandry with outdated area equipment being replaced by new materials. Budgeted funds were spent at local firms where it was possible. The study of tractors, learning about the insides of the tractor and how they work was especially emphasized. Most of the five tractors used in the shop are older vehicles which have been purchased and are fixed up in demonstrations, by the students in “hands-on” activity. The forestry students took weekly field trips to area tree farms, where they mastered skills relating the culture of this important crop. 4 Agriculture • 15
