Industrial Arts Provides Variety Industrial Arts, instructed by Mr. Byron Nelson, includes a variety of useful skills in its program. Students in Mr. Nelson's classes, whether they are enrolled in arts and crafts or the more advanced drafting courses, learn how to use various tools skillfully. These tools range from those used to work leather to the advanced precision instrument used in drafting and engineering. Skills learned in these classes become useful in the everyday lives of all students, especially those who will need this knowledge if they pursue a drafting or engineering career. Mr. Nelson has the opportunity, as few instructors do, to teach students in nearly all the Junior High grades, as well as high school students. The separate shop he has access to enables him to handle a large number of students and provides the equipment materials necessary to encourage creativity. Junior high shop students apply their energy to assigned work. Jim Peltz spies on busy Byron Nelson, instructor of Industrial Arts. 25
