Is the School Living Up to Its Potential? Is the school doing all it can to prepare for the future? Or is the school merely wasting the stu- dents' and teachers' time by clinging to outdated policies? Let's look at both sides . Look at some of the things that are wrong. The students select classes that they are in. Many students put themselves in classes that would be floaters for them. These are classes in which they can get good grades and do little work. The individual stu- dent should be more selective in his choices. He should take classes which he feels will be useful to him in the future . One thing that would increase student awareness and supple- ment their education is an honors program. Advanced courses which could be adapted for those students who have an above aver- age interest in a certain subject would help the students get a greater understanding of the sub- ject, which may be their planned college major. Now let's look at the other side and see what the school has going for it. Most importantly, the school has good vocational and indus- trial arts departments. Building Trades is a good example of some of the classes offered to those who, on the average, don't intend to go on to college . An excellent sports program is one of the other good things about this school. We have the two major sports, football and basketball, and a wide assort- ment of smaller sports such as cross country, tennis, and swim- ming. The student also has a voice in the running of the school through Student Council, and more recently, the Food Committee. A survey that was taken early this school year revealed some major trends in student opinion. A large majority of the stu- dents wanted some sort of mass- communications, or radio-TV class. This would not have to cost a great deal of money. To have one of these classes, a school need not build a big expensive radio or TV station. Instead, a simulated newsroom could be set up with school desks and fabricated materials in which the students could learn about the procedures and funda- mentals of mass communica- tions. The survey also revealed that the students were upset when independent study was taken away. However, the Student Council began to work on the problem, and the restoration of independent study, once a dream, is now a reality. There are many students who feel that this school could be improved, and we agree. We feel the administration, stu- dents, and teachers should work together to implement some of the programs mentioned in this article for the good of the stu- dents' education. BH RP new tricks!

Creativity seemingly ran unleashed in our halls. Restroom walls, textbooks, desks, and the favorite - lunch trays - served as canvases for visual designs. Fortunately for those interested in a more constructive means of personal expression, there existed D-6, the arts and crafts area. Various new and old projects were planned by Mr. Jack San- ders and Ms. Cynthia Clifton, enabling the students to continue in artistic growth. Such basics as perspective and developing three dimensional effects on a two dimensional surface were taught. Ms. C1ifton's Art Il classes con- structed junk art assemblages. Objects usually considered as junk were arranged to form con- temporary sculptures. Ms. Clif- ton's classes also worked in dif- ferent forms of jewelry. Mr. Sanders' Art IV group designed brochures promoting the commu- nity and did a pictorial revamp- ing of parts of the downtown bus- iness area. Ms. Cheryl Taylor was one of the student teachers who served an internship from Purdue Uni- versity. She participated during the first semester. Ms. Mary Evans came during the spring and taught from March 8 through May 7 . KH 8 The 1976 Oracle
