IIldLlStI'i3l Arts: Not Iugt Wood, ails Industrial art students at the 11-12 Center combined their efforts to make an airplane. 11-12 Center's aviation education teacher, Mr, Jim Mills, is a member of the Experimental Association, which developed the school's flight project. The project applies science, math and the use of tools, explained Mr. Mills. The airplane was finished toward the end of the school year, and was constructed in the metal work class. Roger Worth's plastics classes at the 11-12 Center not only studied the production of plastic articles, but also the environmental effect of plastics and the use in everyday life in things from clothes, to pantyhose, to coolers. The plastics came in various forms, such as liquids, powders, granules, beads, solids, pastes and molded with either heat or chemicals. Various class projects were making balls, wheels, coin purses, funnels, lighters, embedded paper-weights, boomerangs, bowls and letter open- ers. Students in Mr. William Roach's 9- 10 Center metal work classes made an assortment of items. Some made nap- kin holders, tool boxes, planters, tongs, door knockers, foot scrapers, lathes, center punches or even minia- ture cannons. Second year students made objects such as lawn chairs and a drill press vice. A new look in a 9-10 Center hall was the display case constructed by woodwork teacher Kim Reed. The case displayed wood sculptured can- dle stands and graphic designs. - By Suzie Bartlett At the beginning of the 11-12 aviation classes en- deavor to build a flying machine, the project was just a frame with a few boards attached.

Don't know much about Geome- WY, Don't know much Trignometry, Don't know much about Algebra, I don't know what a slide rule is for. This was a popular song during the year and could be the theme song for many OHS students trying to fill their two required credits of math. Even if you don't know much, you at least have a wide selection of classes to choose from, as 14 differ- ent math classes were offered at the 9-10 Center and eight were taught at the 11-12 Center. A new class introduced this year was Basic Geometry. It was designed for the non-science or non-math ma- jor who wanted to go to college. Another different type of class for many students was Consumer Math. Among the things taught in the class were how to plan a vacation, Christ- mas shopping, etc., and all the more practical uses for math. we Demonstrating what a student would do in an emergency situation is 11-12 Center chemistry teacher Beverly Chelgren.

The various ways of measuring were taught with the em- phasis on metrics. Calculators were used in several classes to aid the students with their homework and classwork. ' Mr. Henry Thompson, math teacher at the 11-12 Center, believes there'll come a time when calculators are another essential tool in Geome- try, Trignometry and Calculus. However, he does not allow his Basic Math class to use calculators because he feels that they need to know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide without the use of a machine. - By Kelly Keohane Board work is commonplace in math classes Keith Augenstein's class while the other stu- at the 9-10 Center.
