This, be- ing just one of the 44 projects taken to competition on April 16, 1986, took a great deal of time, skill, and hard work. Projects were entered in different areas, such as woodshop, metalshop, plastics, and drafting. Projects that received blue rib- bons then continued on to the Regional Competition which was held at Sam Houston on April 26, 1986. Following Regional Com- petition, projects receiving blue ribbons then continued on to the State Fair which was held in Waco, Texas, on May 2 and 3, 1986. Photo by Carol Sharp. PQNP - 1 John Rossler built a waterbed frame in woodshop to enter in competition. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Hilsher built a heavy duty trailer in metal shop which was used to carry projects to the regional competition in Huntsville. Being able to use my im- agination made Industrial Arts valuable to me. It's a great feeling to know that I designed, built, created my project. It's all my work, Greg Peet said. Getting to work with my hands instead of my mind kept me interested in In- dustrial Arts, Tra Townsend said. Michael Meek smooths a coffee table top before assembling it to the rest of his project.

Q-W5 ompetition rings . K, . Once the students in Auto Mechanics finished resear- ching their projects and writing their research papers, they began designs that they would enter in to competi- tion. They then purchased parts and completed their projects. Following the com- pletion of their projects, they transported their projects to be judged for competition. Competition, being a major part of Auto Mechanics took a lot of time and skills. There were many different feelings among the students as to whether they benefitted more by working individually or as a group. I like working in groups because each person in the group can help one another if a problem occurs, Kirk J orden said. I prefer to work by myself, that way, I can have the tools there when I need them, Robert Elliott said. Individually is more challenging because the work is all yours, but group is just as beneficial because you can teach others and they can teach you, Jim Smith said. I am glad I took Auto Mechanics because it will help me with my career deci- sion, Theresa Klawinsky said.

H' . WK-A 1 '.---f ,-f, N.., The computer whiz kids gathered their interests together to form a club that dealt with monitors, keyboards, disk drives and peripherral boxes. The computer club headed by Mrs. Darlene Clayton col- laborated with an eager group of creative individuals who took great effort to raise funds, decorate a Christmas door and compete in com- puter contests. Basically what we did in the Computer Club was create programs and have each member share them with other club members. Another aspect of the club was to prepare the kids for state competitions and future endeavors with the com- puter, Mrs. Clayton said. The fun part was choos- ing the cartoon character mascot for our club, William Brooks, senior, said. The car- toon characer mascot was Nelson, a character in the syndicated cartoon, Bloom County The computer group turn- ed the monotonous monitor into a year of fun filled tasks to collect money for the state competitions.

And don't forget Rudolph Bob! These were the humorous lines that helped win the Christmas door contest that the Computer Club and Computer programming class compiled for the award win- ning door. Standing with the prize door is Raphael Cohen. The winning group effort was spurred by the computer club's great enthusiam. The theme of the reindeer door was given the Texan approach. This delighted the judges and gave the Computer Club an honor of which to be pro- ud. Photo by Rosie Marquis.
