SCALING THE WORLD TO SIZE The Industrial Arts Department offered a va- riety of classes in which almost any student could have an interest. The interest ranged from woodworking and upholstery, to drafting and electronics. Drafting students had a chance to sharpen their skills this past year in a new advanced third year drafting course. The course instructor, Mr. Bush, described the course as exploratory. Industrial Arts students had a chance for the first time to make their dreams almost become reality. They constructed models of their dream houses. They also tried their hands at construct- ing period furniture. With instructors like Mr. Lemay and Mr. Bush, the industrial arts students found them- selves well-prepared to tackle bigger projects. UPPER: A student sharpening his drafting skills.

SAFETY FOR LIFE Some courses required during high school are not beneficial for the future. However, Driver's Education was a required subject, use- ful in everyday life. Students were taken from their P.E. classes for six weeks and Mrs. Carter and Coach Larcom taught them the ways and rules of the road. First, students learned the laws and rules of safe driving. Then, they practiced these rules on the driving range. Finally, students were able to drive on the road accompanied by Coach Lar- com. Students also learned the procedure of buying, maintaining and insuring a car. Mrs. Carter and Coach Larcom made sure that the Driver's Education students of Jenkins were very safe drivers.

AN INTERESTING BEAT The Music Department at jenkins was the place to go when feeling down. Everywhere there was a cheerful note and the sound of a comforting melody. Chorus gave students a chance to perform contemporary as well as old favorites and classical music. The course in band included not only learning to master one's instrument but the experience of playing at many school functions. Many students found these courses the high point of their day and gave their all in attempting to get that catchy little tune just right.
