ini-Course Program Is A Big Success. Classes at Mount Gilead High School on March 30th 31st were very different from the normal school routine . For a fifth time the Student Council sponsored and planned a Mini - Course program. The program was intended to give the stu- dent body exposure to subject areas not normally included in the school curriculum . Ninety- two different subject areas were selected to be offered. Cake decorating, making sand candles, bicycling, disco dancing, horsemanship, archery, and many other courses were held at the high school. Some students traveled to the Pizza House for pizza-making, to Whetstone Lanes for bowling and billards, to Bob Jones' lake for trout fishing , to the Galion Community Center for swim- ming , and to the Mt . Vernon YMCA for racquetball. Classes were taught by school personnel, students, and volunteers from the commmiity. Tours of I-IPM Corporation, J. G . Clark Company, WNCI Studios, and the Mansfield General Motors Plant were conducted.
