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.

Sweaty palms, fast heartbeats, and butter- ties were not uncommon feelings of students in the performing arts department. Before the curtain opened all had a great feeling of an- ticipation because for that short time, the individual was in the limelight, as well as the group. Before the actual moment of glory arrived, much time was spent working behind the scenes. These students danced, sung, played, and plucked until perfection was reached. This was shown in their performances. Enthusiasm wasn't a prob- lem for them. This unique group took pride in what it did. It was shown in their ac- complishments. For in- stance, Chorale Choir was one of twelve chosen to at- tend a convention in Califor- nia. Mr. Evans summed up this feeling of pride when he said, If one person puts in his all, they can be proud and call it an accomplishment but when the group puts in its all it becomes a group ac- complishment. That was when it was special. There was hard work in- volved in being a performer. It took time before, during and after school. With much effort these students worked their hardest and made it to the top. Design by Courtney Robin- son Photos by Tana Price. OH NO! NOT YOU A6AINI With a sarcastic smte on his foce.
