I. Mr. Alan Harmon explained his instruction in mechan- ical drawing with an illustration of basic principles. 2. Mrs. Deborah Estey, Karen Holt, Susan Carmack, Ray- leen Mansfield and Rose George listened to Mrs. Betty Raymo’s explanation before she demonstrated hair cut- ting. The special education class, taught by Mrs. Estey, visited Virginia’s Beauty Shop as a class project in learn- ing. 3. In the future, students of Mr. Charles Marcott will know how to change a spark plug in their own lawn mowers. After this demonstration, Mr. Marcott taught metal and power mechanics. 4. Deanine Grieg wasn't too happy, but typing teacher Mrs. Betty Stevens found something funny in those test papers. 5. Mr. Dean Scott, agriculture teacher, cut a board with a radial saw. He taught a variety of ag subjects and sponsored FFA. 6. Whatever that is in that pot is doing just fine, thank you, smiled Mrs. Retha Castleman, home ec teacher. She sponsored FHA. 7. Those squiggly lines in her grade book mean something to Mrs. Virginia Priest, shorthand expert of RHS. She also taught personal typing and basic accounting. FBLA occupied some of her time.

(5) Skills Make Life Just a Bit Easier Where the student actively engaged in producing while learning . . . thal was the appeal of practical arts. A tour of these areas showed a stu- dent turning the potter’s wheel, devel- oping speed in typing, trying his hand at architectural drafting. Students enjoyed sewing, cooking and agriculture. Their lively interest led to extra-curricular activity in judging contests and outside jobs. Instruction was practical and immediately usable. 22 • Practical Arts

Try It in Science You Might Like It 1. Tasting Party? Yes, and right in biology class. Paul Garcia was not too sure about that limburger as he had to smell it as he ate it. Brenda Braidlow and Cindy Frank showed mixed emotions as they waited their turn to experience the mold-bacteria lesson in cheese-mak- ing. 2. Marshal Koval in Chem I class watched instruc- tor Bill Brent demonstrate an absolute pressure device. Other students are Brian Craig and Roger Harris. Mr. Brent sponsored ACE Club. 3. Mr. Don Priest used his pointer and the blackboard illustrations to find the side of a triangle by using the law of sines. He taught phys- ics, as well as calculus and trigonometry. 4. Eddie Sar- och, with the help of science instructor Charles Gar- nett, worked with an open end magnometer, which measures the pressure of gas. This was Mr. Garnett's first teaching year at RHS. 5. Biology I and Biology II made up Mr. Harry Harme's science program. He also sponsored Future Medics of America. First-hand involvement in experiments continued to attract students to science this year. Since Rolla is scientifically oriented due to the location of UMR here, many stu- dents enrolled in selected college classes during their senior year.
