The new greenhouse. Greenhouse Adds to Size of School The 1973-1974 school year brought about many new changes at Hauser, including a new class. This new class was the horticulture class. The class began with the construction of a new greenhouse which added to the size of the school and increased the school curriculum. The greenhouse was constructed during the months of summer vacation. It is still under construction at this present time in December. Helping in the construction of this greenhouse were horticulture teacher, Arnold Ellison, and school board member, William Heilman. The greenhouse is supplied with an automatic sprinkling system and electric heating system. The enthusiasm for the new course was high. The students took great interest in this course and they showed their interest by working with special and delicate plants. The forces of nature revolved around the life of these plants and the grades of the students as well. Whether a plant lived or died affected both nature and students. The greenhouse expanded the minds of these students into other fields of horticulture, forestry, and landscaping. Hauser students came out of this course with a broadened mind and a green thumb. Cleaning out pots in horticulture class, Seniors Dawn Weeks. Kim Carman, and Diane Wasson scrub away to clear pots of mud. 15

Skills at Blue River At Blue River a student has opened up to himself or herself a new chance for new learning previously not obtainable here at Hauser. Occupational opportunities were strengthened through the use of this vocational school. At 8:15 every morning students boarded J. T. Compton’s bus and left on the seventeen mile journey to the Blue River Vocational School in Shelbyville. They stayed for the first three periods of the day and returned here at 12:00 in the afternoon. Classes available to students were: auto mechanics, auto body repair, building and ground maintenance, cooperative office education, distributive education, drafting, industrial machine shop, intensive office laboratory, nursing arts, and welding. Waldron, Triton Central, Shelbyville, Southwestern, Morristown, and Hauser all participate in the Blue River Program. Dennis Michael works on his building and trades project at the Blue River Vocational School. David Clouse watches the fiery blaze as Mike Compton directs the arc welding rod. 17
