Double Your Fun With Vocational Education Vocational education classes serve as a double education. They serve as a student’s high school classes and career training. Competition tests these vocational skills. Busi- ness skills contests were in March at Bethel and April at Brown Mackie. The home economics students competed in contests in April at Bar- ton County Junior College. Mr. Don Arnold-Industrial Arts Mr. Gary Jones-Vocational Agriculture and Horticulture Miss Cindy Muir-Home Economics Mr. Howard O’Neal-Commerce There were also many added “students” in the vo-ag shop as fathers and sons worked in part- nership on vo-ag projects. BUSINESS SKILLS: AT LEFT: Row I: Karletta Ratzloff, Shana Maples. Carnella Bloomer, Andra Shank, Kim Youngblood, Jill Knust. Row 2: Don Stovall, Roger O'Neal. Shelli Whisler. Beth Slocombe, Tammy Solomon. Sponsor Howard O'Neal. HOME ECONOMICS SKILLS: Row 1: Denise Strasser, Jackie Mellott, Tina Hilliard. Row 2: Crissy Bowser, Carol Swan, Liz Holm. Row 3: Donna Taylor.

Reviewing at the board is a good way for Mr. Ireland to see what his English class remembers. Nancy Hall, Kris Strotkamp and Kim Rose wait for the next question. Reading and Writing Lab was a new class with a new teacher. Miss Busenitz. This class provided an opportunity for students seeking extra help in those areas. Miss Bu- senitz helps out Rick McIntosh with an English assignment. English Classes “Subject” To Changes Shuffling was the subject of the English classes. Reading and Writing Lab for individual help with any English prob- lems, and English III and IV with more traditional ap- proaches for juniors and seniors were added to the schedule. When Mr. Shields resigned in September, Mr. Ireland be- came the Activities Director which necessitated a shift in his classes. Miss Busenitz’s English I classes were reorga- nized into three sections and she took over the Vocational English class to free him of his duties. Even more changes are planned for next year! Miss Catherine Busenitz Mr. John Ireland Mrs. Dorothy Rucker FORENSICS: Row 1: Janet Wolfersperger, Nancy Hall, Danny Kyle, Nancy Richmond, Tim Slocombe, Karletta Ratzloff.

Mr. Fran Arnett-Mr. Matt Tolar Not Pictured: Mr. Don Molleker A Physics class was put back in the science curriculum when Mr. Molleker was hired. This higher level course was comple- mented by the already existing Chemistry class taught by Mr. Arnett. The remainder of the classes, which consisted of Physical Science and Biology, were the full time load of Mr. Tolar. Mr. Molleker sits back and takes a moment to reflect on his Physics class and to think about what is to happen in the next class. Danny Kyle, in the foreground, and Max Cooper take advantage of the time to do some physics problems for tomorrow. Physics Class Is Back On The Track Many different experiments were done in Physical Science throughout the year, one of which was learning how to use a micro- scope. Rick Mellott uses the microscope to study the growing process of a crystal. Mark Sattler and Shawn Garcia take time out from experimenting to discuss how fas- cinating the study of crystals can be. Or could they be talking about all the good looking girls at Peabody High? Mr. Arnett explains a chemistry prob- lem to Mike Shaw and Mitch Moffett. Curt Glaser and Scott Entz, in the fore- ground, try to work it out on a calcula- tor. 12
