Making cupcakes for students in the entire school is one of the few things Heather Hinds and Angie Sigrist helped to do in Home Ec II. Scott Reder prices merchandise while he works at John’s Market during work study. Students have opportunity to work Everybody’s working for the weekend! That’s exactly what seven seniors decided to do this year. That is, they decided to become part of the work- study program offered by the high school. Danny Clary and Scott Reder worked at John’s Market dur- ing the first two hours of the day. “1 really like work study be- cause there weren’t any classes left that I wanted to take and this gives me some extra spending money plus valuable job experience,” Scott commented. Chad Swavey worked for Paul Dittemore’s Construc- tion, and Kevin Traster worked for Ray Whitten Sign Company in St. Joseph. Gail Cluck worked at the Library District 1 in Troy. Becky Clary and Jonnette Smith both had jobs in St. Joseph. Becky first started out working at Countryside Animal Clinic but later got a job at the Ground Round as a waitress. “1 think that work study is a very good experience be- cause it puts you into the real world and I think it’s good for kids to have their own mon- ey,” Becky said. Jonnette shared her views about working at Venture Discount Store. “Working there has been fun and 1 get to see a lot of peo- ple. I’ve met relatives that I didn’t even know I had. It can be hectic with school and work, though.” Photography by Gary Huff, Kelli Moore, and Elaine Johnson Htugg

Students gain valuable experience Talents developed What kind of classes can stu- dents take where they can learn to sew, type, build, and bake? Classes that allow hands-on experience, such as typing, home economics, projects, and industrial arts, can give students the opportunity to learn. Mrs. Anna Goss taught home economics and bachelor sur- vival, which were classes centered around cooking and sewing. “I took Home Ec because I did not learn anything from my other two home economic classes in St. Joseph,” Michelle Payne said. Phil Stegall commented, “I like bachelor survival be- cause of the fact that I’ve learned a lot of things about being a bachelor.” Mr. James Hundley taught 6th and 7th hour projects. Some of the students spent time overhauling engines, and making fish weights and SBQ grills. Mr. Fred Folsche was the in- dustrial arts instructor. Stu- dents in these classes worked with wood and such materi- als. Some of the projects of the Industrial Arts III and IV classes were making bleach- ers, building sets for the play, and making gun cabinets and stools. Typing is also a hands-on- experience class because stu- dents get to learn to type on typewriters. Mr. Dale White- side was the typing teacher. Sendie Smith explained, “I took typing because I plan on going to college and I thought it would be beneficial towards my career. All around, it’s a pretty easy class.” Building sets for the all-school play is one of the many things Curtis Anderson helped do in Industrial Arts 111. Jonnette Smith waits on customers while working at Venture during work study. The bachelor survival class did various cooking and sewing projects throughout the year. Here, Aaron Swavey, Phillip Stegall, Danny Keller, and Jerry Gerardy model some of the shirts they made. 14 Academics Copy and design by Kim Wiedmer
