industrial arts INIew Teacher Innovates New Ideas for Shop Projects Eric Leegard was the new teacher of the shop classes. He had a lot of new ideas for projects that the students could do. To do these projects he needed more equipment which the school board granted him permission to get. Mr. Leegard’s main objective was to get students to take something and follow it all the way through rather than take a piece of wood and just hack away at it. Some of the shop classes had to do a little bit of drafting andothers had to do a lot. Shop I worked just about all year on drafting in order to get it right. Also in Shop I Reno Lucas built a safe. Shop II also worked quite a while in drafting. Like Shop I, Shop II had some active eager students who built a project of their own. Rex Lesher made a cartridge shelf; Garth Lucas designed a tool holder; and Tom McDonald made a drafting table and wooden airplane. In Shop III and IV the students rebuilt and painted shop equipment and shop tables. Mike Warrick made a stereo cabinet and cassette cartridge holder. Brad Allred and Albert Hytrek built a boat. Albert Hytrek built a stock rack for a pickup. Albert Shorb made boat stations on a lathe. In metal shop classes the students built metal fireplaces and barbecues. They also repaired miscellaneous motorcycle parts and miscellaneous broken things around the school. In this class Rick White rebuilt a trailer. In girls’ shop class Phyllis Christian made a jewelery box, a pair of mocca- sins, and refinished a chair. Laurie Allred refinished a chair, and also made a jewelery box and a pair of moccasins. 12, Industrial Arts

science, Budding Scientists Learn Many Facts About Electricity, MAWEMAnCS Geo|ogy an(| Ec()|ogy In physical science the freshmen made a diagram of a house with the wiring to show how a house is wired. They stud- ied electrical circuits and Ohms Law. They went to Orchard Park and panned for gold. They also learned how to identify rocks and minerals. The sophomore biology class studied the phylum of insects and plants and how to classify them. On Thursday May 23 at 6:00 A.M. the school bus left for Cape Arago taking the biology class to study the marine life in the ocean and to visit the Mcnasha pulp mill to see how sulphite liquor is treated before it is dumped into the ocean to prevent pollution. Earlier in the year they work- ed on ways of producing energy from methane gas made from sewage. The chemistry class was not successful in holding continuous class sessions because of interruptions by telephone calls and teachers coming to get students out of class. At the beginning of the school year, Algebra I and II were taught in one class period by Peter Nightingale and geome- try by Kerry Quilhaugh. Then in the middle of September the school board decided to reinstate the math position and rehire the former teacher, Frankie Fedor. The freshmen were divided into three groups of math, basic, pre-algebra, and Algebra I. The sophomores con- tinued with geometry, and Algebra II was offered. (Upper far right) Mrs. Frankie Fedor corrects some of the many math papers handed in by the students. Alice Blondell, Paul Shorb, Tom Gibbs, and Ten Riley (upper middle) are working hard to get their Algebra assign- ments in on time.
