= Excellence! English nine, ten, and eleven students explored literature and composition in the newly purchased books. Those in all science courses were challenged to design and execute a project for entry in the district’s first Science Fair. Eighty-eight of the projects were exhibited and judged, with twelve selected for district competition. Though students spent time listening, note taking, writing, reading, and figuring, lab classes offered the opportunity for other learning experiences. These included clock making, cream puff baking, apple butter brewing, landscape planning, engine repairing, soil judging, frog dissecting, collage designing, T-shirt sewing, torch welding, oil painting, hog farming and layout designing to name only a few of the possibilities open to those willing to take the challenge. 8 Academics

Working Toward a Goal Entering the world of work was the goal juniors and seniors aimed for while attending Four County Joint Vocational School. Their classes were geared toward vocational training, as were the clubs these students joined. VICA and similiar professional organizations encouraged students to participate in speaking contests, elections, and Olympics competitions designed especially for their individual career goals. With an emphasis on daily attendance and class work the Four County students learned a trade while continuing their work in academic areas such as English and social studies. Dress codes were followed by students in selected areas, while others were free to wear everyday clothes. Having chosen one of thirty occupational choices offered to the students at Four County, these students have gained a head start in their career field. 10 Four County
