This year Miss Meiers and Miss Clark combined to teach a two period experimental class called M. G.M. for some of our more capable ninth graders. They covered many different subjects to stress ecology and current social and political issues.

The trip was to learn about water pollution and oceanography. The M.G.M. class had many exciting moments on the trip and a few not so exciting, like when everybody woke up at 4:00 in the morning to get to school on time to catch the bus. Here are a few of the better moments of the trip and the hard work the class had to go through. 5 5 Q L-J 1 , ,.-Q In the top picture above Billy Smith and Penny Heathcote look on while Merrie Pedro and Donna Neal prepare their Van Dorn bottle to obtain water samples.
