OATS This year the OATS program was extended to the whole student body. Last year, only seniors were able to participate. Participants were chosen for their academic achievement; they scored at least a 94% composite on the standardized achievement test. The senior high worked on indi- vidual projects in an area of their personal interest. Each had a men- tor who helped him with his pro- ject. The junior high attended problem solving meetings twice a month under Mrs. Lang's direc- tion. The OATS participants were rec- ognized at the Honors Convocation and were presented certificates. TOP: Wow, ME? Kim Lofgren accepts her English award from Mrs. Lang. ABOVE: Good job! Mr. Furstenau gives Sam Ven- eris his band award.
