Present Conditions
Vo Ac students have I heir simp in the old combination shop
building and furnace room at the Junior High This is the step child
in the Heppner system, separated from the other lush school
facilities it's crowded, bleak, cold, students lorm in lines to use
equipment, no storage space.
-hi
Hie need tor a new vocational
op at Heppner High School
"i.i been evident (or many
ears A new vocational shop
w.is included in the plans for the
new high school that was
constructed in t4 However
bids submitted exceeded the
available tunds and the shop
facility was not constructed.
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

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

The floor plan shows the proposed Vocational Building that would
be constructed 70 feet out from the cafeteria wing of the High
School.
Plans call for a savings as well as a valuable work experience in
the inferior construction of the new facility. The students in this
department will work under supervision at finishing the
construction.
The board felt an urgency to get on with the construction of this
facility. If the serial levy passes, il is hoped that students will move
into the new facility Dec. - January of next school year.
