chool away from chool ave you ever thought about going to Conroe l-ligh School to study elec- tronics, professional health, cosmetology, etc? That is what many students at Mc- Cullough do. For example, Senior Quinton Dye studies word processing and indus- trial electronics at Conroe. Although some have tho misconception that these courses are easy, the training can be rigorous. The courses provide an opportunity to advance technological skills in a variety of fields. Vocational programs should not be entered into lightly. They should only be taken if you are motivated and if it is related to the field that you wish to enter later on in life, says Dye. The three CISD high schools cooperate in cutting expenses of program duplica- tion by offering different courses at each high school. Students commute to the school offering their desired courses. Michelle Henderson, an Oak Ridge stu- dent, comes here for two of her classes each day. lt is a way to improve relations be- tween Oak Ridge and McCullough. I have met some neat people, says Henderson, Students who go to Conroe and to Oak Ridge provide us with an exciting and fun way to look at education. null- Cllllli ..

Don Gutierrez, Chris Duffield, and Jeff Whitmer work from many different angles on Project Space Statio l I l n I 4 1 he realistic ream reams really do come true. Jerry Berndardt dreamed of having a Space Lab here, and his drafting, wood, and metal shop classes changed that dream into reality. The students were accepted by ap- plication to be the crew of Project Space Station for the 72-hour mission on March 21-24. While aboard the space station, the astronauts performed experiments that were developed by students. Project Space Station was designed to 2 4 incorporate participation from the entire school. The wood technology classes built 28 containers and they also helped construct the station. The homemaking department designed the uniforms, cre- ated and prepared the food, the High- steppers created a workout video tape, and the business department handled the projects accounting, Don Gutierrez described Project Space Station as being a really neat learning experience because for once, instead of just drawing it, we built and lived it. The motto of Project Space Stati was: I hear and I forget I see and I remember I do and I understand The students are learning and gaini knowledge through experience abc something that can easily be applied the outside world, said Bernhardt.
