Rotating Ideas Many new changes occurred last school year and one of those was the different course offerings of the seventh and eighth grade rotating classes. Last year, the seventh graders took music, art, and community living, while the eighth graders took art, music, and horticulture. Horticulture was added for the purpose of stimulating interest so more students would join high school horitculture, and a new period was added causing enough room for Mr. Arnold Ellison to be free to teach the class.

At the same time the rotating classes had their disadvantages as well. These included a shortage of time for the teachers and the students to produce certain projects and teachers were limited to the amount of material that can be taught. Rotating classes is a nice change in a school year because we are not doing the same things repeatedly, ended Karla Glaser. Kenny Owsley and Scott Mae cut out snowflakes for the front hall windows.
