Agriculture Department Gets Greenhouse Forestry, farm mechanics, horticul- ture and agricultural supply were courses offered in advanced agricul- ture classes. Students could also learn valuable practical skills After two years of pushing for a greenhouse the agriculture depart- ment finally received it. The green- house was first used to begin prepar- ations for spring planting. Forty acres of land was set aside at the FCI lFederal Correctional Insti- tutionl for the agriculture depart- ments at Rickards, Leon, and Godby. The land was to be used for a miniature farm with approximately four major heifers, and three or four dairy cows. Agriculture l and ll used the land provided to learn how to plow with a tractor rather than using the small plot on the Rickards campus. lf ?-1+ I- 'lf-.F 1--1 , -, .M 'J' sf ' '- .

Via As a part of driving range instruction students try their skill at parallel parking without knocking do wn those bright red and yellow markers. A new unit was added to Driver's Education making it possible to have three fulltime instructors. Coach Bill Long was added as the third teacher. The 400 Driver's Education students and 100 summer Driver's Education students drove in the north parking area. The school hoped to have a new driving range next year. There were few requirements for taking Driver's Education. The stu- dents had to have been 15 years old so that they could obtain a restricted license, and they each had to pass a physical examination. Driver's Education included four areas of instruction. They were class- room instruction, simulation, driv- ing range, and road driving. .ril N . . it 8 . MR.
