Hooking up the hydraulic hose on a disk, Robert Owens prepares for a long day on the tractor. After consulting the price list, Darrell Hess fills out an order blank at Hamlin Auto Parts. Agriculture- a billion dollar industry “If you complain about farmers, don’t talk with your mouth full,” is a message commonly conveyed by bumper stickers in our small agricultural community. Although industry plays an important part in our area, it is evident that farming is the main livelihood. The importance of farming can be seen on campus. Agri is one of the most popular electives, with a majority of the students involved in the farming operations of their own families. Broncos and pickups line the parking lot, most of which head for the farm after school. When school starts and winter sets in, the work still doesn’t stop, unfortunately, for many students.

Traffic jam When walking down school halls, you take your life into your own hands. Between classes, halls are a little like freeways. As soon as the bells ring, the entire student body hurtles down the halls to class. This provides for a very tight squeeze. And if you can’t keep up the pace — watch out! People who drop their books in the hall had best say a prayer before they pick them up, because they know they’ll be trampled. And who has never run into someone else in the hall? Somehow, it always seems to happen when your arms are full of books and you’re late to class. Sometimes going down the hall is like running an obstacle course. Imagine zipping down the hall when suddenly a teacher opens his door in front of you. Of course, everyone is familiar with rainy days when the floors get a bit too slippery for comfort. But navigating the halls is something we all must bear with. Who knows, maybe someday we’ll get traffic lights! On rainy days, walking by the smoking area can sometimes be a fairly tight situation. Hurriedly pushing into the cafeteria, students anxiously stand in line awaiting their lunch. 18 Hall Hazards
