The Industrial Arts included auto, woods, metals and drafting. The most popular class in lterms of enrollment was auto. Mr. Painter, accounting for this, said, After taking auto, students go right into oc- cupations having to do with auto- mobiles. A wide variety of Art-related fields such as Basic Art, Art Design, Ce- ramics, Commercial Art, Drawing, Painting, and Photography were avail- able to students.

Popular classes also beneficial An elective everyone seems to enjoy is Physical Education. The classes vary from Beginning Physical Education, which is mainly taken the Freshman year, to Advanced weight training and net classes. Beginning Physical Educa- tion is a requirement for all Freshmen. According to Mrs. Hoke, We feel it is just as important to teach the body as well as the mind. After the one year required in Physical Education, many upperclassmen elect to continue in P.E., taking weight training and net classes, which are open for Sopho- mores, juniors and Seniors. Another popular elective at Marcos is Drivers Education. A high percentage of students take Driver's Ed their Soph- omore year since students are legally permitted to drive at age sixteen. Dri- verfs Education teaches students de- fensive driving skills and basic knowl- edge. Another valuable class available is Behind the Wheel, in which an instruc- tor takes students out with a car rather than only a simulator and provides ac- tual hands-on experience. In reference to the level of student participation, Mr. Adler said, This year there is more input from students during lectures in the Classroom. Academics 139
