Vocational Education New Equipment for Auto Mechanics New equipment was purchased for the Auto Mechanics classes. A dynonometer to measure horse power was an interesting and helpful device as were several new mounted engines. The instructors bugged the engines and students then ran tests to detect the problem so they could repair it. The students did hook work in the fall, while emphasis was on manual lahor in the spring. Attending judging contests of crops, livestock, and poultry highlighted the year for vocational agricultural students. The contests took them to Ark City, Hutchinson, and Kiowa. Each judging team consisted of eight students from the four classes. In March the Voc. Ag. students sponsored the annual South Central District Dairy Contest. A three hour course, Industrial Electrical Maintenance, teaches the students about electronic components. They learned the fundamentals of electronics and some repair and maintenance work. This spring the classes visited the KC 81 If power plant in Colwich. In machine shop the students learned to run standard machine tools ofthe metal cutting industry. The goal of this course is for each student leaving the class to he on the joh-entry level.
