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.

Horticulture: A Classroom Full Of 'Green Thumbs' Horticulture classes at OHS show students more than the academic side of horticulture. They give stu- dents the chance to learn the business of horticulture. Students stay active all year in the horticulture classes at OHS. During the fall and spring the stu- dents take care of the yards around the school. In the winter they come back for the classroom side of horti- culture and work in the winter greenhouse. The work on the greenhouse consists of taking cuttings from the plants in stock and making more plants. They also transfer plants to keep them healthy, and plant thou- sands of seeds for a spring sale. Another active part of horticulture is a landscaping crew that works on yards around the city. The Horticulture class at the 11-12 Center meets two periods a day, earning the students two credits. Horti- culture at the 11-12 Center is a vocational course. In- troductory Horticulture at the 9-10 Center is a science class. -- By Marsha Tanner tts tt i ii' li W ,,,, W Q . if Distributive Education students at the 9-10 Center work in the school store.

Piece Of The Business World Distributive Education combines work and study for stu- dents interested in merchandising marketing, management and service operations. DE is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Seniors earn two credits in DE, one credit in the classroom and another credit is earned by actual job experience. The student is re- quired to work a minimum of 15 hours a week to earn the credit. Distributive Education is an active class. They prepare for the business world by participating in exercises that deal with advertising, salesmanship, human relations, consumer math, economics, cashier work and job interviews. The DE department did something new this year. They held a Christmas bazaar. The bazaar gave the students a chance to run their own business. - By Marsha Tanner :Wx N r my ag I , ft W... ug, ' Hr .Ox .
