ARTS AND CRAFTS INDUSTRIAL ARTS Masters in the Making Pursuing activities which ranged from silk screen lettering to ceramics, members of the arts and crafts department spent the year profitably oc- cupied. Use of audio-visual aids as well as PCI'- sonal experimentation helped students to a clearer understanding. Apple wood, scrap metal. wire and even peach seeds were used in making jewelry. XY'ith the stress on originality and basic design, classes created necklaces, bracelets, cuff links and belt buckles. Other projects were the printing of Christmas cards displayed in early December and a February art show. Building model homes was a major activity of the industrial arts department. Students designed and constructed scale model homes which were then sent to the home economics department for interior decoration. ln addition, the standard courses in wood, metal and technical drawing provided an opportunity to learn basic drawing and sketching skills as well as the use of necessary tools.

Excursions to the Lane County Extension Agriculture Service, Eastern Lane Fire Protection Agency, Weyer- haeuser saw mill, Georgia-Pacinc plywood mill, and Oregon State University forest production lab and fish and game department constituted much of the forestry stu- dents' year. Practical experience included furnishing and repairing the school greenhouse, planting trees, collecting fir cones, marketing Christmas trees, and participating in a three-day Survival trip. For those enrolled in agriculture classes, the agenda was equally busy. Field trips were taken to the Eugene Fruit Growers' Association cannery and Bartel's Meat Company. Successful operations of local farmers were viewed later in the year in the hope that students would learn the secrets of their success. 42 Mike Moore learns proper chain-sow technique from Mr. Noteboom.

Use of the 515,000 language laboratory helped students gain self- confidence by listening to their own voices, hearing tapes and conversing with various guest speakers. Beginning courses concentrated on pronunciation and grammar while literature and oral conversa- tion were emphasized for more advanced students. South Eugene's program of foreign languages in- cluded four years of French, three of Spanish, two of German, and two of Latin.
