Practical skills presented in two areas by Chris Kireopoulos The Home Economics and Indus- rial Arts Departments helped stu- lents learn skills that are practical. Six Industrial Arts teachers offered . total of 29 classes in woods, met- ls, auto theory, mechanical draw- ng, and power technology. The seven woods classes made iope chests, chess sets, bureaus .nd other projects students choose. 'ower Tech is the introduction to lifferent types of engines. Art Wis- inger teaches here and at Arcadia Iigh School. Electronics has been transferred o Vo-Tech. Mechanical Drawing is earning how to read blue prints ,nd learning the terminology of the ield. The main skill taught in metals classes is welding. Students buy their own material. Auto teaches the more advanced automotive sys- tem in cars. It's a good place to work on your own car, said junior Kevin Snow. During the extra time, some of the industrial arts teachers do odd jobs. Tom Morgan does auto work and Ed Anderson teaches woods in night school.

HERO gets paid to work and learn Story by Paul Townsend Photos by Kevin Snow The main objectives of the HERO program iHome Economics Related Occupationsl are improv- in self-ima e developing inner g g , confidence and gaining work exper- ience in the home economics field. The members in this program were carefully screened and select- ed by club sponsor Alice Williams. Seniors with at least one home eco- nomics credit were able to partici- pate in the class-club-field Work program. Interested students also had to obtain a job with an em- ployer who was willing to give them on-the-job training. Busi- nesses that participated with the students included Mary Moppets Day Care Center and Burger King. Students were graded on atti- tude, classroom testing, attendance and an employer rating. Membership was previously limited to 31 in only one class. Due to interest in the program, a sec- ond class section was added this year, making a total of 38 students enrolled in the two groups. Club members raised money by selling Country Crystal for Christ- mas gifts, M8zM's and Coronado sweaters. The money was used to pay for an employer appreciation banquet in the spring.
