J A ffi Ray McKnight Robert Mentzer Ken Paulin Robert Rumpl Making Impressions That Last A Lifetime Industrial Arts isn't just another classg itis an experience. Many of the students who have taken a class in the industrial arts field have come to believe this statement to be true. They have discovered that their classes out in the far regions called the shops, often require a little bit more time than some of their other courses. Areas students could choose from included printing, wood working, machine shop, welding, auto, sheet metal, photography and drafting. Kim Lindsey described her classes by saying Industrial Arts classes require quite a bit of creative energy but I enjoy the class very much. Along with just be- ing fun, the classes also offer many other positive aspects including con- tests that had winnings of prize moneyand awards. Contests! Contests! The never en- ding desire to compete against others and win could be fufilled in competi- tions held against other local schools. The finished projects were judged on quality of craftsmanship and overall appearance. Viewing of the projects was done at the local malls and also at the schools themselves. Career opportunities were available for students who had the desire to con- tinue in a given field. The possibility of accelerating in the field of their choice was great. Students often were able to get a job working with their acquired skills even while taking the course. Trade schools were eagar to welcome new students.
