In the program ' s second year, horticul- ture students began to sell plants they had grown in the new greenhouse. The students, who were taught by Mr. Chris Wiemers, sold a great variety of plants during the year. A fire during the summer destroyed the greenhouse built last year, Mr. Wiem- ers explained, thus the students were unable to work in the rebuilt greenhouse until September. This year it ' s actually getting out in the greenhouse operat- ing, he added. As the teacher, he said he was con- cerned with providing the students with skills they could use after school. What I learn here is a starting point for what I ' ll do later, observed Rockie Sheriff, jun- ior. Hopefully, Mr. Wiemers added, the class will be opened to the entire student body sometime in the future. Enrollment is restricted now to handicapped stu- dents, he said.

B From late September to the middle of May, the 25 students enrolled in building trades built a house to be sold on the open market, commented Mr. Curtis Byrd, supervisor. Students did most of the work includ- ing laying the foundation, building the frame and painting. The house located at 1702 Autumn Woods in Heritage Park, contained 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths. The approxi- mate value of the house was $65,000, explained Mr. Byrd. The students did all the work them- selves except installing the plumbing, electrical wiring and air-conditionmg, which were sub-contracted to local firms, he added. Students in the homemaking department chose the fixtures and brick colors. All profits gained from the house were put in a fund to be used on next year ' s project. Most of the money goes for buy- ing the lot, supplies and equipment, he concluded. (B) Using a skill saw, Joe Beere cuts paneling for a house the class is building (photo by Moore).
