Classes Visit
Lamb Farm
In spite of Mrs. Christine
Tripp and her party’s taking the
scenic route and other prob
lems, oddly enough, something
was learned by everyone on the
Biology Field Trip.
These incidents were all part
of the Ecology Field Day at the
Lamb Farm in Nashville. All
sophomore Biology classes and
the one Senior Advanced
Biology class attended this
event on either May 4, 5, or 6.
One of the highlights of this
farm fantasy was the fire
fighting unit. All types of water
shooters and fire stampers were
exhibited, but the pride of the
fire rangers was a blaze battling
tractor.
The first area visited by
students was the soil conserva
tion station. There, fear was
shoved into most bellies by the
stale but serious rhetoric of a
soil specialist. He informed the
students that of the 12 inches of
topsoil originally on the land,
only five remained. The topsoil
is where crops are grown, so if
erosion continues at this present
rate, future generations will be
grubbing in the dirt for dried
roots when they should be
eating sweet potatoes and corn

wrestling teams. He also enjoys
working as a member of the
A.F.S. Committee and working
part-time at Belk-Tyler’s. In
response to being selected as
half of the Rotary Couple, Joey
said that he was surprised and
honored.

Students Hold Elections
President Gerald Ford and
Jimmy Carter led in a mock
election held in Mrs. Barbara
Taylor’s American Studies
classes when personality was
divorced from issues.
However, when a group of
students prepared a bulletin
board illustrating the candidates
platforms leaving off the
candidates names elections
results differed. The primary
issues determining leads by
Ronald Reagan and Jimmy
Carter were busing federal
spending, national security and
detente.
Students conducting the
project included Chris Dell,
Martha Cash, Stephen Barnes,
Curt Todd, Natasha Matkin,
Susan Collie, Nan Reese, Patti
Reaves, Terri Williams, Beth
Allsbrook, and others.
