 Mr. McAlister watch carefully to use the machine. student leams how Developing Agricultural And Industrial For those students at King who arc interested in crop production or wildlife management, there is the agricultural department. This year we arc lucky to have two well-experienced teachers to assist and train the students. Mr. Timmons and Mr. Glymph prepare those students who arc going into agriculture as a career. They teach them the basic and necessary skills to get them started after they have finished high school. One of the classes offered in the agriculture department is the Fundamental Agricultural Occupa- tion which teaches all the basics of agriculture such as crop production, livestock, wildlife management, and agricultural mechanics. In the agricultural mechanics area, students are taught how to repair and operate tractors. Mr. Timmons also teaches shop and industrial arts along with Mr. Crowe and Mr. McAlister. Mr. Carl- son and Mr. Crowe teach architecture and drafting. The department introduces students to the possibility of a future in industrial arts, basic training in the use of wood, metals, and plastics, the electrical industry, and the fields of architecture and engineering.

Mrs. Secvcrs eryoys taking attcnd- cnce when all her students are in class. Did you know that King has one of the largest English teaching staffs in Hillsborough County? Mrs. Allen, the department head, has been here at King for two years, and she feels that the students are more interested in making good grades than ever be- fore. This year the English department offers more than it did last year. There is now an advanced English class for those sophomores who do not wish to take the A.P. class. There is also a new writing enhance- ment program, and this year our newspaper, the Scep- tor, is back in business. One of the major developing areas of the English department is the Advanced Placement program. These A.P. classes are designed for those students who arc advanced enough to be at a college level. The students in these classes are using the same textbooks that college students use. and are receiving basically the same kind of work. This field has grown rapidly in the past years, and it is continuing to do so. Another area that is growing fast is the Compensa- tory Education English. These English classes are especially designed for those students who have cer- tain academic deficiencies that require extra help, as well as for those who did not pass the State Assess- ment Test. This is the first year in which basic English classes have been offered to juniors and seniors. Our English department also offers many elective classes, such as grammar, vocabulary, journalism, mass media, literature, mythology, and speech. Language Art 77
