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.

History and Psychology Classes Study Past Hauser’s history and psychology classes accomplished much during the 1973-1974 school year. These classes did many special assignments and went on a few field trips. The psychology class offered many trying experiences to this year’s senior class. One of these assignments, psychology teacher, Mr. Brock assigned, was to trace back their family tree. Also, the psychology class took a field trip to Muscatatuck Mental Hospital on the east side of North Vernon in the month of November. The history classes did much during this school year. Mr. Hamner's U.S. History classes acted out skits, acting as if they were for or against the problem of slavery in the South in the middle 1800’s. His history classes also had to do a special report on some special event in history which had taken place in our country. Current issues and events also took up much of the class time. For instance, the issues of Watergate and President Nixon along with the resignation of Vice-President Spiro Agnew. Although these happenings were relatively important, the most important happenings of the school year were the ending of the Vietnam War and the fuel and energy crisis in the United States. Senior Laura Carretero works a star maze with a mirror in senior psychology class. Mr. Hamner’s U.S. History class listens intently to him as he lectures on one of the many points of history. 18
