THEY'RE UP BEFORE THE CHICKENS f'Up with the chickens isn't quite true of the Roy-Hart Agriculture Department boys. Many in agriculture classes rise early to gain practical experience in dairy Work, poultry care, and livestock before coming to formal classes. These agricul- tural classes cover the operation, care and maintenance of farm machinery: farm management problemsg farm productiong and the planning, selection and building of farm buildings. After school activities include working with crops and machinery and equipment. The boys also partici- pated in demonstration contests, judging teams, and individual agricultural projects. lo Roxanne Ognibene Roger White practices acetylene welding as one part of agriculture. l ln Driver Ed Pat Broderick displays an original project she developed showing traffic control. i AGRICULTURE MR. HARRY MERRELL, Vocational Agriculture, Future of America Adviser, Seventh Grade Co-Adviser HELP FOR THE HANDICAPPED Drivers who do not, or will not, under- stand our basic rules of the road and their purpose, are, indeed, handicapped. In Driver Education students learn the basic driving skills and their application. Twice a week they practice in-the-car instruction on village streets. Defensive driving and adverse road conditions and situations are stressed. Students learn the application of scientific devices such as seat belts in modern automobile safety. They become well acquainted with traffic laws and safety and most important, be- come responsible drivers through the development of a good driver attitude. Ann Seaman 27 Farmers

Under Title I, much remedial work is done in reading. A' x Mrs. Derry talks into the microphone to demonstrate to her reading students how to tape their reading. Students are shown with their scripts. Tape recorders, records, film strips and movies are used in the reading program. Miss Dunham explains material she is about to show on the screen. UNLOCK THE DOOR TO EXCELLENCE Reading is the key to excellence in education and the pupil who has been well taught in reading will find him- self able to employ his full potential in school and in life. This year Roy-Hart had 180 students with four teachers taking advantage of Title I, a Federal- supported program. Developmental classes in reading for students who are perform- ing up to or near their capacity were held. A reading lah was approved by the Fed- eral Government for grades 9-12 and a program using machines and multi-level materials was initiated. Maureen Criswell READING Seated: MRS.
