ODS Bursts With Energy A total commitment to sixth grade students, a week of living in a cabin, no television, no radio, no junk food. This is what Outdoor School (ODS) is all about! ODS, a program for all 6th grade stu- dents in Multnomah County, consists of six one-week periods held at five differ- ent sites: Howard, Tresel Glen, Eagle Fern, Collins, and Trout Creek. ODS is successful because of some very dedicated and special people known as Junior Counselors or JC’s. JC’s are high school students from the Multnomah-Clackamas County area. They dedicate their own time for a week away from school knowing they 'll have a week’s worth of homework to make up when they return. JC’s give it their all with total com- mitment, love and dedication to a week that 140 6th graders will never forget. Sixth graders learn about their environ- ment in a natural setting and discover how to preserve it, and better it for fu- ture generations. The week is filled with activities including nightly campfire and cabin skits, Hobo stove day, and field day, along with the basic study of four re- sources: plants, water, soil and animals. Each JC, along with being responsible for the 6th graders in her cabin, devel- ops and expertise in one of the resource areas and teaches it to the campers. 14 Academics The week goes by all too quickly. The Mixture of social and educational experiences lead to new friendships and knowledge that can, and hopefully will, last a lifetime. A LITTLE DIFFERENT than monopo ly. Sandra Gaither watches over her 6th grade students as they do the ■Boardwalk SANDRA GAITHER SITS among fellow ODS JC's on the last day of ODS. Smiles are not be- cause the JC’s are eager to leave, but rather result in the fulfilling week they have just completed.

School Store Survives The 1987-88 school year started without a bang for the student store! Because of un- foreseen complications with the vending machine com- pany and the administration, the student store was unable to sell any drink or food items. The second-year marketing students set out to fight the rejection, and tried to come up with a comrpomise that would benefit everyone. The day came to hand a proposal to Principal Dennis Crow. After reading it and giving the proposal a lot of thought, Crow respectfully rejected the idea. Jenny Sah, junior class president, talked to Crow about concessions at Friday night football games and she also asked about giving some profits to the school store since the marketing students weren't allowed to sell any food.

MARKETING STUDENTS KARLA Foster and Dawn Canada show off Christmas in the student store window display that they designed. Finally, after a meeting be- tween Superintendent Dr. Kent Heaton and Crow, Crow approached the second-year students and Advisor Len Ea- ton and said he would allow popcorn to be sold at lunch. Along with popcorn, var- ious other speciality items saw their way into the store: pencil tops, scented pencils, bendable pencils, and other in- expensive items available for “poor high schoolers. ” The store had its share of difficulties, but seemed to overcome a lot of them in businesslike manners, and strived to become more suc- cessful than ever before. Marketing students also had the opportunity to try out their talents at window deco- rating. Some of the displays depicted the seasons (fall) and the holidays (Halloween and Christmas). The artistic win- dow displays made a colorful addition to the otherwise drea- ry halls. A ca demies— 15
