Denny Vough, a freshman industrial arts student, applies the finish- ing touches to his current project, a hand made chess board. We have approximately one-hundred boys enrolled in the shop programs. As students learn what things are made of Creativity Is the Role Working steadily and diligently on his masterpiece, the student creates with his own two hands the work of a master craftsman.
