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,

Where and when we study Studying to some students is a chore, to others it is part of there dai- ly routines. There are some who can study with music blasting, people screaming, T.V. going, and with con- fusion all around them. Others like quiet places such as the library and their room at home. A few people study the day they are assigned a project or informed about a test. But most don't do anything until the night before or even the day of the test on the way to class. Many don't study at all. For these who do, the school li- brary and study hall offer places where one can concentrate privately. The library offers a wide variety of encyclopedia's, magzines, newspapers, and many other books that can be of help to the students. The media cen- ter affords the students the opportuni- ty to view film strips and movies, lis- ten to tapes and recordings and check out the picture file. Study halls are provided for study. But many students use them to catch up on sleep, the latest gossip, or to go to McDonalds. Most of the time the teacher in charge is the only one do- ing any work. Hallways of Reserve are a very popular place to find students study- ing. Before school and during the lunch hours the benches are lined with people with books on their laps. One can even find people sitting on the floor in a quiet corner of the hall, studying. In warm weather, the area around the flag pole and the campus provide a relaxing study situation. Home is probably the place where a majority of students do their home- work. Between phone calls, snacks and television, students brag about the great amount of time they spend studying at night. Some even take books home to convince or impress their parents that they have so much homework to do. Somehow, most people do get their studying done. 40fCurriculum Larron Tique tries to find that one last answer.
