Good equipment All good schools have the basic es- sential equipment such as microscopes and typewriters. But here at Reserve, we pride ourselves in using some of the more modern and unique equip- ment. In the business blocks, it is often thought that typewriters are the only machines used. As odd as it may seem, the telephone is one of the most important pieces of equipment in offices today. Along with the tele- phones, calculators, copiers, stencil and mimeograph machines make up a large part of the blocks equipment. In the Science department, for ex- ample, there are many different types of learning tools. Zoology classes use scapules and discecting trays, Chemis- try classes have the bunson burners, test tubes, and beakersg and Biology's main tools are microscopes, probes, and forceps. The Vocational area, because of its make up and purposes, probably emphasises equipment more than most other areas in the school. Autobody classes have the sanders, buffers, and spray paint: and Welding classes main tools are the Oxygen- Acetylene Welder, and safety equip- ment. Sphygmomanometers, Stethoscopes, thermometers, and syringes are unique to the nursing lab. Drafting classes work with french curves, 30-60 triangles, and compasses for the com- pletion of their blueprintsg and Pho- tography wouldn't be photography without cameras, tripods, and the darkroom. The Audio Visual and Me- dia Centers provide video viewers, cassette recorders, film sound projec- tors, and the television. Mr. john Mancini, the Media Center director, provides teachers with educational tapes from educational TV companies or tapes which he tapes himself from regular commercial television. Cara Gould, Gerry Zaccali, and Bill Sillitoe use the computor for an accounting assignment. Students watch and enjoy television as a learning tool. 36fCurriculum Anthony Sibley helps Mrs. Brooks by taking the movie projector to a classroom. . . S

Many teachers have special projects that make up much of the students grade. These might in- clude Christmas projects such as Horticulture's wreathes, candles, and flowers to Mrs. Suzanne F owley's re- search papers. No matter what kind of project it is, students always have to put forth extra effort and time to get it done. There are many different types of projects depending on the subject, class, and teacher. For instance, Mr. Tom Hitmar's class painted the cafe- teria windows with beautiful Christ- mas scenes. The Science Department projects include DNA Molecules and disecting in Biology to bridge con- struction and egg drops in Physics. Mrs, Lynn Grischow's Sociology classes use roll playing in such situa- tions as courtroom trials and political debates to expose students to what goes on in real life. She has opened her class to many speakers who have discussed such topics as normal and abnormal behavior, criminal justice, and capital punishment. Vocational area projects are de- signed to show the skills learned in each area. A finished blueprint in drafting, a matching dentless fender in auto body, or a smooth weld in welding shop demonstrate the intend- ed skill was learned. If a cake tastes good, the table is correctly set, or the blouse fits perfectly, the project in Home Ec. is a success. Each project in each area has a purpose. A well done, complete project brings satisfaction both to the teacher and student involved. -M, . xkiz jeff Alleman and Bill Cameron finish their DNA molecules for Mrs. Cheryl McKimmy's biology class,
