The current emphasis on vocational education by the Oregon state Department of Education makes the need for a new shop facility of immediate concern Present shop facilities are inadequate both in size and structure The small wood working shop restricts the number of students that can enroll in the class and the size of the projects that any one student can undertake. There are presently 32 stu dents enrolled in the four shop classes and it is believed that a more adequate facility would double the number of students enrolled We also need to provide a broader vocational curriculum than currently ex ists However, expansion of current vocational classes will be possible until new and larger facilities are available. The woodworking shop classes are currently housed in a small 24' by 30' cement room under the gym. A room of this sue containing (he necessary woodworking equipment does not eave adequate room for students to work on large shop projects. The room also pre sents a problem from a stand point of safety as serious accidents can result from overcrowded conditions in a room filled with dangerous equipment. Another serious problem is the lack of ventila tion and the inability to clear the wood dust from the air. Storage areas are almost non existent and make it difficult to .-tore materials and projects. In a room 24x30 feet containing woodworking equipment does not leave adequate room for students to work on large shop projects. P rom the standpoint of safety, serious accidents can result from overcrowded conditions The shop classroom is also separated from the shop and makes it impossible for the instructor to provide super vision in both areas. It therefore becomes necessary to keep all students in the same location. Vo Ag Bldg The Vocational Agriculture students are housed in the old combination shop building and furnace room located adjacent to the Heppner Junior High Building. Aside from the total inadequacy of the facility, it does present several other problems. First, the building does not have a classroom so it is necessary to handle class room work in a separate building. This type situation then requires that all students be in the classroom at the same time and in the shop area at the same time. Thus, there is no flexibility in having students working at different activities. The second problem is that of transporting students from the high school building to the present shop facility. This results in additional expense but the major problem is loss of classroom time while students are on the bus. The proposed new shop facility would provide all vocational facilities in one building with classroom included. Ileppner's Junior Varsity Kiskcthall team rolled over Wallowa's JV's Saturday night :Vi -17. The Mustangs dominated the entire hall game, leading 18 -oat the end of the first quarter, 22 - 7 at halltime. and 3ii - 13 at the end of the third quarter. Dirk Ihinlap and Mike Mills led the scoring with 10 points apiece, and John Kilkenny dominated the hoards with Iti rebounds. As a team, Heppner shot 24 for 72 from the floor ( 333i and 8 tor 14 from the foul line ( 571 1. Wallowa shot 7 for 37 trom the floor t 10 and 3 for 9 from the foul Iiium 333). The Mustangs had 37 rclwnmds to Wallowa's 27. HHS Students Fill Out School Op Survey The entire HHS student body spent an hour Nov. 2tt filling out a large questionnaire on student opinions concerning school operations. The survey, obtain ed from the University of Oregon and used at several other schools, contained many questions concerning student council, school curriculum, publications, and students' personal likes and dislikes. The idea of using such a question aire at HHS originated in the Activity Committee, headed by principal Jim Bier. The Activity Committee, formed this year to trv to improve Heppner High's activities, wanted to know what and where students felt im provements and changes could be made. The importance of filling out the questionnaire with honesty and sincerity was stressed to students by their teachers. Mr. Bier reported that in the few he'd looked at, the students had been honest. He also noted a marked interest in more career education. Suggestions made in the questionnaire will be con sidered by Mr. Bier, the student council, activity committee, and the entire staff. As many of the results as possible will be made known to the students Ged Tests Here Dec.13 G.E.D. (high school equivale cyi tests will be given at the Neighborhood Center on S.
