Industrial Arts Offers Opportunities Students practice acquired skills from Gas Engines Unlimited opportunities were offered in Industrial Arts this year. Programs were continued training students in the fields of machine operation and aircraft assembly, the latter being sponsored by Boeing. These programs guaranteed job placement after successful completion of the course. New equipment purchased by the department provided classes with the latest tools to work with.

This year the Music Department expanded its courses by offering an optional five-string Banjo class. The sessions were held after school on a voluntary, no-credit basis. The Art Department offered a different approach to the study of art this year. By having a daily block in Ceramics, Drawing and Painting and Design Lab, students were able to study art for two hours, receiving two credits instead of the usual one.
