Each fall, down in the West corner of the junior high building, a group of boys gather under the guidance of Mr. Slager to learn more about the art of farming and rural life. But, behind all of the plaques, pictures, and trophies that line the walls of their class Eddie Cox, Ro- bert Young and jim How ell are lcarning to weld in agrifullure. i room, is plenty of hard Work and fun. Some of the projects these boys carry on throughout the year are recommended farm- ing practices, crop and livestock proiects. planning and constructing equipment, ex- hibits, and various other group and individual activities. ,lflany Sfwienfs ,Arr Kring Trainer! Remember the smell of burn- ing sulfur floating through the halls? Or that large mysterious wet spot dripping from the ceil- ing, resulting from a mistake in an experiment. These are a couple of the things that might happen in the course of a year in chemistry lab. Chemistry is by no means all play and no work. The students have fun, but they also take an active interest in what they are doing, proving for themselves in lab what they learn in class. Chemistry lab proves to be fun and work. Doing an experiment are Nancy Clark, Glen Apple, Melvin Ncvergall, Geraldine Heaton. Tom Uncaphcr, Richard Helnier, Gary Paul, Lee Woodruff. 10

Sfzzdmfs :Wd tllffarkizrg Together 31114 The library is a busy place. Helping the students are Miss Hert, Linda Hudson, and Nlary Grace Littlejohn. The students arc Sally Shatto, and Thomas Amos. Assemblies were rather few and far between this year because of the increase in the number of stu- dents. Most of our assemblies are sponsored by different organiza- tions in the school. The students donate money to the Student Coun- cil, which selects and obtains professional talent, such as a liquid air demonstrator and a pianist and song writer. At one of the student council assemblies was Alan Abel and his drums. Troy Lovett, Dwight Wilgus, Judy Brown, and Carol Knascl are proving his point that anyone can play the samba. 12 Our library has proved to be of great importance to the students of Sidney High. Here they may acquire books to read for book reports or solely for pleasure. Lucky people who have term papers or note- books assigned to them can do their reference work in the school library.
