OWER TOOLS Never underestimate ex- actly what went on in D- building. Industrial arts wasn't only tool box construction, or lubing cars- it was a whole lot more. De- signing, building, and effec- ti ve safe use of equipment was stressed. There wasn't a set sterotype to the depart- ment. A class was available for every kind of student. Ev- erything from engineering, drawing, manufacturing free enterprise to the old standards woods, auto, and welding were offered. Getting girls into the pro- gram was a major concern of the department. Mr. Hig- bee commented, “We high- ly recommend girls taking in- dustrial arts even though the skills they learn may not be used to pursue a career. Students took their classes very seriously, and put much effort into their work. This wasn't the 'easy A' depart- ment. Students had to work with their hands as well as with their minds. Self expression through work, knowledge, and skills learned made industrial arts an 'art' in every sense of the word. Design by Marc Stenoien. Photos by Ashley Jov ne.
