ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING is one in the series of mechanical drawing courses of fered at KUHS that deal with the drafting technique used in small house design. Here the students design the dwelling and make all the necessary drawings. The models shown are built outside of school time for extra credit. Approximately 200 students are enrolled in the eight mechanical drawing classes. Shown here, left to right, are Ross Griggs, Bill Sehuldheisi, John King (barely visible), John Eraus, instructor Frances Scapple, Larry Cheyne and Don Patterson (barely visible). anwn : "flwmffr imiwi iimnHMti m n ii hum i li iliWIniillllBmiDllimiiMiiii1 'lil MEMBERS of an Industrial Arts Woodworking class at KUHS study a project in ad- .. -J ...-.J.....L: C..J.

'Dropouts' Are Major Problem In High School Only slightly more than half of all fifth grade pupils finish high school; less than two-thirds of those in the ninth grade remain through grade 12. Persons lacking a high school diploma are the first to feel the results of the diminishing demand for unskilled labor, and are at greatest disadvantage in periods of high unemployment. Juvenile delinquency is 10 times more frequent among dropouts than among high school gradu ates. Portrait of a dropout: he is 16 years old; often he has been marking time, waiting to reach the age when he may legally quit school. He is most likely to quit between the 10th and 11th grades. It is especially likely that he will not return after a summer vacation. Statistically, the broken home is an element frequently met in the background of school dropouts. Boys and girls who lack strong family life and ties are often those who are most eager to get away and become independent. Perhaps the most crucial in fluence exerted by the home, re garding dropping out of school, is attitude. The feeling of par ents toward school, especially those of the mother, play an im portant role in shaping the atti tudes of the child. If, throughout his early years, he can see that his parents value the opportunity to acquire an education, even though they themselves may not have had much formal schooling, and if he knows that they place a high value on his performance at school, he usually can be ex peeled to take a positive attitude toward the school. POET'S CORNER KLAMATH DEEP in Southern Oregon lies this land of wind and sun: Summers brushed with breezes from the high Cascades, Cool and sweet with subtle charm Which will haunt insistently While we seek a better clime, 'Til we return! Autumns like an Indian legend, Saving back from Summers' store, the rarest days To be savored at our leisure But we haste to gather treasure, For we know it soon must pass! Winter comes with storm and fury, And with swift finality, Just as though to put an end To all our thoughts of gentle ness. Then, as a father, when his wrath is spent, Magnanimously beams upon his quaking brood, Sir Winter smiles through rift ing clouds In sun upon the snowt But long he rules 'Til we are weary of his mal caprice, And eagerly and vainly grasp Upon each sign of his relenting, We hear of Spring in Sunny' Cal! We'll not stay here another year! Then . . . Summer comes! LAND of contrasts . . . brutal, winsome This enigma that we call the KLAMATH BASIN! This our HOME! Eleanor Harvey 2118 Home, Klamath Falls Teacher Talk ... Aptitude Test: an examination designed to appraise a person's ubility or potential ability to per form tasks for which he has had little or no preparation and ex perience. Often such tests are giv en to help a student choose the career or vocation for which he is best fitted. An aptitude test dif fers from an achievement test, which attempts to evaluate a stu dent's level of success at InsVs for which he has had previous training (such as his ability to read, express himself in writing, spell, handle arithmetic, and so on).
