When asked what contribution the department makes to our school, we got the following responses: Mr. Gla- zier - We teach vocational skills and many students use the skills learned to make a living. Mr. McCalister -- The department provides practical knowl- edge for students to repair their own vehicles and also provides an outlook on an automotive-mechanic career. Mr. Glenn McMinn - lt's an opportunity for a student to work with his hands and his mind instead of iust sitting behind a desk. He can actually see what's happening and there's a possibility of future employment. TOP RIGHT - Juniors Skeeter Harrison and Tina Trotter show visiting Junior High students the shop equipment.
