er aspects of making rational deci- sions in the future. New to the Home Ec Department was Miss Evelyn Roth who was ad- ded to the staff this year. The Industrial Arts Department experienced a large increase in en- rollment with the addition of the ninth grade. The department also offered a new course called Industrial Woods taught by Mr. Wunderlich where stu- dents had the chance to work coop- eratively on projects. They, in es- sence, formed their own small cor- porations to mass produce certain items. Because of the overload in enroll- ment a number of students had to wait in order to take certain classes in the department. Joining the staff this year was Mr. Joseph Spillane who worked in var- ious areas in the department. Another new look for the depart- ment was the added space provided when the board approved enclosing the area under the stadium to pro- vide classroom space for Mr. Sims' classes. Students had to work around the project as they entered the school year but managed to uti- lize the space effectively. -n....,,,-,,,..p SIZING UP -Sophomore Jeff Colby measures for his next move.
