Vocational Classes: Preparation for Future Careers Christina Barron ’82 Bessie Bayson ’82 Debi Due to the wide variety of courses offered, vocational classes retained their popularity among EHS students during the 1978-79 academic year. In Louise Weldon’s sewing classes, students learned to construct every- thing from pillows to fashionable ski jackets and vests. Cosmetology students commuted daily to the Alameda Beauty College to gain experience in hair care and cosmetics. Robert Ruark’s crafts classes learned the fine art of weaving in addition to creating exquisite jewelry and pottery. And in George Reeves’ Mechanical Drawing classes, the three- year conversion from old to new draft- ing tables with metric scales was finally completed. Two arrivals to EHS were teachers Angela McManus and John Putt, who taught cooking classes and Ornamental Horticulture — Landscaping respec- tively.

Karen Antognazzi '82 Ko Richard Armstrong ’82 Experiments. . . Aid in Learning Starting in fall ’78 s cience classes experi- ments concentrated on observation and exploration of new scientific concepts. Stu- dents zeroed in on respiration and digestive comparisons between animals and men. The various Biology classes disected ani- mals in order to gain information about dif- ferent animal systems. They used: fish, frogs, fetal pigs, and crazyfish. In Chemistry, students studied molecular constructions. Experiments with different chemicals and elements helped them observe how chemicals react with different sub- stances. Physics explained laws and theories of the universe. Velocity, acceleration, and centri- fugal force were the laws with which class- mates experimented. Any experiment pushed texts aside and most students preferred to learn by doing rather than by reading. ABOVE LEFT: VANCE Hopkins uses a micrometer to measure copper wire.
