Capstone Constructs The House the Building Trades Capstone course built was designed by Dave Fahey. The building is a three bedroom ranch-style house. The house has many fine features: two-car garage, backyard deck, full Bauman kitchen, natural gas heating, angled bay picture window and a wood chute. Work on the Capstone house began in the fall. The seventeen seniors on the project worked on the house the last three periods of each school day. In order to be in the Capstone class, a student must take the Construction Exploritory class as a junior. Then after the course, the student may apply for a spot on the Capstone crew. The students in Capstone learn basic skills in plumbing, wiring, masonry, heating and residential carpentry trades. After finishing the course, students have enough knowledge to get a job in the building trades area. 1. Mark and Gary team up to get the job done. 2. Capstone, FRONT ROW: G. Vetterli, J. Rufer, D.

Club activities for the year included a Spanish pot-luck dinner, a trip to Madison to dine at a Mexican restaurant. sponsoring a dance after an athletic event, an end of the year party, and many funfilled meetings.

Equestrians Exhibit Talents The Monroe High School Equestrian Club started the year by riding their horses in the Homecoming parade in September. The members later combined their talents and constructed a float for the Cheese Days parade. Each member also rode his horse in the parade. Many of the members of the Equestrian Club are also active in 4-H clubs. These members are a part of many of the 4-H horse groups such as the Horse Bowl and Judging Team. Members were busy attending various meetings and workshops throughout the year. In January and February, members attended the ETN Horse Production meetings. In March, the club went to the Little International Horse Show. The English riding clinic and the Miduese Horse Fair took place in April. In May, the club took part in a clinic on conformation and showing. For several weeks the club showed their trophies in the display case. The exhibit also contained many ribbons won at local fairs and contests. To raise money for the year's expenses, the club held a bake sale in the M-Room in April. 1.
