Mr. Don Griffith industrial arts Mechanical drawing and shop, with Mr. Don Griffith at the reins, make up the industrial arts program at E.P.H.S. Students from the seventh grode on are given the opportunity to create useful and decorative items. One of the major goals is teoching students to use tools and machines safely as well as efficiently. In the shop classes, first and second year, students ore given a taste of many different handicrafts which for some may develop into permanent vocations. Leather, plostic, wood, metal and many other elements are forged into interesting pieces of workmanship. Wayne Van Slyke and Jim Anderson, shop foremen, aided Mr. Griffith with the classes by helping him help the boys with their work. The students coped with many problems, such os Steve Eiker's table with a top too small for the body. It is imagined that Steve went back and studied the ruler a little more Mechanical drawing students are taught the basic skills of drowing. Students in the first year class learn the fundamentals for drowing and then pursue more difficult problems in design and engineering. Students in drawing II go deeper into the field including architectural drawing and a few of them, such as John Guse, developed blue prints for a house and other difficult projects. Freshmen Walt Vanatta and Gary Cleveland express new enjoyment in working with wood. 17

Throughout the year the art I, II, III and IV students leorned while enjoying art in many forms and results were displayed in the student center. Just as days were spent with students studying and gaining knowledge, days were spent learning with fun. Finger painting day proved to be a wild and messy one with everybody ending up with paint not only on paper but on themselves. Students modeled, posing for the art class throughout the year. Bill Chambers was rather embarrassed at the idea of walking through the halls in his modeling clothes (cut-offs and a sweatshirt). Posing of another type was done by three freshmen girls; they posed as angels. Students used various forms of expression in their study as well as creating out of clay, soap, wood and other ingenious inventions of their own. Mrs. Glenna Dannels

physical education Dry would not be o very good adjective to describe the physical education department according to many of the p.e students. Through experimentation the conclusion has been drawn that the new showers moy be fancier than the old ones were but they're just as wet We imogine that a few of the eighth grade boys even tried them with their clothes on, probably not willingly. All kidding aside, the p.e courses offered at E.P.H.S. provide a program which is of the utmost importance, os more emphasis is being placed on physical fitness. The p.e. classes help develop physically and mentally as well as teaching all around sportsmanship and athletic techniques. I. c. molonder mountain home gas estes park construction co. park oil co.
