Mr. Wilder Industrial Arts also shows an increase in female enroll¬ ment this year. As the different industries are becoming more equality minded toward hiring women, Industrial Art classes are looking more and more attractive to a greater number of female students than ever before. As Mr. Buduo, teacher of graphic arts stated this year, Industrial Arts is no longer a field for men, it is a field for persons. Because Industrial Arts is a progressive field, a comprehensive course in LA. cannot function properly without keeping up with the latest trends. Many of the department members are involved with programs, societies, memberships, and professional organizations that all help to upgrade their awareness of ongoing happenings in the field of industrial arts, practical arts, and fine arts.

Mr. Lacouture Mr. Burnham In looking through the many yards of enrollment print¬ outs for the year 1975-1976 it should be noticed that there are more students involved in some way with the In¬ dustrial Arts Department; a whopping 80% of the NHS student body; than any other elective on the NHS curricu¬ lum. In fact, only Gym and English, mandatory subjects Iby state law, involve more students. This says quite a bit for the Industrial Arts program and teachers. Mr. Wilder, Department head for the Industrial Arts, was out from the February vacation on with a severe back injury that involved an operation. According to Richard Duval, who teaches Woodworking, The kids and teachers both helped out to keep the program running smoothly. Mr. Sticklor, the Industrial Arts Department Head prior to Mr. Wilder, also shouldered a major portion of the work during Mr. Wilder ' s absence. The Natick Rotary Club this year again donated awards to students that had achieved outstanding recognition in Industrial Arts. These awards consisted of $90.00 worth of tools to be used in the type of work the student received the award for. The awards were given to: Seniors Daniel Ostreicher, Woodworking; Donald Burns, Metal Working; Steven Marchetti, Mechanical Drawing; John O ' Toole, Electricity Electronics; Juniors David Kadlik, Graphic Arts; Michael Lentini, Power Mechanics; and Chris Hafner, Structures.

Mr. Bachini Mr. Clark Miss Thomas This year the instrumental and vocal groups of the Music Department have been very active. These groups consist of the Marching band, Concert Band, Stage Band, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers and The Har- moneers. For a look at their activities, please see pages 62-65, 198-201, and 216-217. What does music mean to those involved? Perhaps these statements will lend some insight. ' Through a high school music program, students learn that they were given lungs for more than brea¬ thing and that being full of hot air isn ' t so bad! Listening to music is great, but making it is the best. Music is better than a sport because it will always be with you and you don ' t get hurt playing it! 20
