22 The red wire is connected to the black wire The shop was no longer the sa¬ cred place for boys that it was, as girls slowly began to seep into such classes as Power Home Me¬ chanics. Girls had taken Technical Drawing for the last few years, but now entered into other Indus¬ trial Arts classes. Students racked junk yards and garages in order to find at least one 250 cc engine. They would triumphantly bring it to class, take the motor apart and then proceed to put it back together again in hopes that the engine would run even better than before it was tin¬ kered with. Many times the en¬ gines were assembled backwards forcing the mechanics to start all over again. Power Home Mechanics was a maze of wires, circuits and elec¬ tric toasters which burned the toast to a black hunk. Students learned why the fan goes off when you turn on the lights and why a blender won ' t work in a certain plug, not to mention what makes that annoying alarm clock go off. Besides the usual plastic mold rockets, students tried a new hand at tooling leather and cop¬ per. The copper was framed and placed in the front hall showcase. This was a change of pace from rockets, dragsters and other arti¬ cles made in the shop. While Jeff Bourne works diligently at the vise, Norman Washer looks on.

Teachers unpack Returning from their student-free summer vacations, the foreign language teachers bravely fought their way into the cramped quar¬ ters of the language office. They were met by carton after carton of long awaited new textbooks. Confusion prevailed as the teach¬ ers attempted to sort the books, only to find that quite a few were missing. The students thought that they couldn ' t have class without books, but the teachers quickly proved them wrong through the frequent use of slides and lab sheets. Advanced foreign lan¬ guage students quickly adapted to the format of the new texts, while the first year students con¬ tinued to ask the same routine questions. During the school year, plans were made for a trip abroad to be taken by a few students under the leadership of Mrs. Lynch. Await¬ ing these trips made the year a little shorter for the students in the foreign language classes. As Miss Wolfenden considers the translation of a Spanish verb Jane Minyard daydreams. Concentrating on her bingo in French lab, Anne Craighead seems unaware of the photographer. 24
