DRAWING Tl-IE LINES Drafting, one of the variety of courses offered in the vocational cur- riculum, provided students with a chance to become informed about the basic tools and language used by to- day's draftsmen. With the expert guid- ance of instructor Monty Holland, stu- dents began their adventure into draft- ing by learning how to draw two di- mensional figures. Each day meant an additional new skill. Before long, stu- dents were producing isometric and sectional views of various tools and ma- chine parts. After a trimester of perfect- ing their new skills, the last nine weeks was usually spent completing an archi- tectural draft. This draft required knowledge of material learned throughout the year and the basics of construction and electrical codes. Students enrolled in drafting usually attend technical schools or colleges majoring in architecture, design, or re- lated fields. With the basic foundation acquired here, they are able to expand this knowledge to gain interesting and exciting jobs in the future. Concentrating on getting the lines perfect, Kasey Northrup begins work on a drafting pro- ject. Drafting requires precision. lames McLeod carefully draws his plans during his class. Academics 69
