CHA lil IH PACIAIIIIS Clllllll All .Fx w Q ,, MR. JOHNSTON SHOWS Randy Paschal and Mike Phillips what goes on under the hood. Industrial arts may be defined as part of general education that involves tools, mater- ials, ana processes with all its related infor- mation. Theseare directly or indirectly con- cerned with every individual in all walks of life. Leadership is developed by working together on group proj ectsg critical thinking is develop- ed through problem solving. The industrial arts student is givena chance to learn the im- portance of design, shape, size,and function through creative experience. Aptitudes may be stimulated in some phase of industrial arts that might lead to a vocational choice. Inter- class activities give the students an excellent opportunity to develop positive attitudes and habits that demonstrate the principles of the American way of life. Young citizens of this country need to learn all they can about automobiles and modern traffic conditions. They will meet the prob- lems and decide on the traffic conditions of the future. An important and interesting part of their civic duty is to know the facts of the motor age and to help deal with its growing problems. In decades ahead, highway transportation is destined to occupy an increasingly significant place in the life and development of our coun- try. High school drivers education produces good results. A good course in driving gives the student valuable information about his car, helps him understand traffic regulations, and develops the right attitudes toward traffic responsibilities. LEARNING HOW TO weld under the careful in- structions of Mr. Cheatham will be helpful to Merle Adams after he leaves school. VAIIIHY

The agricultural subject matter is undergoing, constant revision to keep up with the changing times. A boy desiring to become a successful farmer must learn to cope with the problems arising from the farm evolution. Vocational agriculture is a subject in which the boys learn by doing. Through the agricultural program, the student learns to become a success- ful leader as he cooperates with others in a group.

HI llAllY SIIHHIIIHS Physical education is a necessary part of school life, as students participate in physical activities, they learn many principles that help them adjustto life. It is desired that partici- pation in the physical education program will instill within the student a liking for physical activities. It is also hoped that they will dis- cover the important role that the development ofthe physical body plays in becoming a well- rounded individual. The activities are aimed at developing an interest in team sports, individual sports, carry-over activities and activities that are designed to develop the body physically. Dur- ing their class sessions the students take an active part in bowling, touch-football, calis- thenics, basketball, and many other sports. MR.
