Student effort makes industrial arts orth the work If you cut this fdraftingj, you can cut English, declared drafting student Allan Pringle. All industrial arts classes, in the eyes of their teachers, are an important past of a student's education if he has an interest in it or plans a career in these arts. Although not considered vocational classes, industrial arts did provide students with skills and experience for future jobs. The major purpose of the classes was to provide a student with a good working knowledge of the subject. In general power mechanics, Harold Pickett said, I'm in here so that I can be familiar with machinery and so that I can work on my car. We teach them more than how to turn a wrench, said Mr. Long, a first year metal working teacher. The first six weeks consists mainly of book work and a safety test. Working from books continued the rest of the semester, but the emphasis was hands-on work for those who had the responsibility and drive to excel. Work collected from projects throughout the year were examined for the best to enter in the state competition, the climax of the year for the industrial arts group which attends each spring for the judging. Each member's entry usually represents hundreds of hours work. From class work and contests, not all industrial arts students went into careers in these fields, or even had immediate uses for what they learned. All did, though, learn a skill and responsibility. I just like to learn for the sake of learning, concluded Jimmy Albough. l v . l f v ON THE BOX and pan brake, Jeff Johnson folds the sheet metal which becomes at tool box, the first project of the year for Metal Working I students.

Eight months of hard work result in nnual The morning after as the lights flickered on, students cleared the journalism lab's tables to finish the previous night's work. Stories and half-finished layouts took the place of last night's raw materials, which required conceiving ideas and shaping them into a yearbook, striving to make this one better than previous ones. Such was the work of the Marauder staff as they worked to make another deadline. Production of the book would have been financially impossible were it not for selling advertisements and holding bake sales organized by the business staff, which consisted of sponsor Linda Marshall and ten students. They also handled picture and yearbook sales. As for working on the editorial staff, Diane Prewitt commented, It's more than I thought it would be when 1 output got into it, but it's worth it.' Students labored over stories and captions as they molded them into memories to last for a lifetime. Such a task demanded patience and accuracy of detail. Staff photographers, often frustrated by cabinet and sink repair in the darkroom, contended and held to the responsibility of taking and processing the best pictures they could. Photographer Bryan Cumby said, There are no excuses for me not giving 100 percent and producing the best product possible. The layouts became reality as proof sheets were combed for last-minute revisions. Eight months of hard work went into the creation of Dimensions. This yearbook is going to be seen by the entire school, as well as critics, concluded managing editor Jenny Sampsel, so it had to be good. s BUSINESS STAFF-FRONT ROW: Mike Forbis-, Linda Marshall tsponsorj, Maurice Wright.
