Industrial arts strengthens imagination The Sherman High School industrial Arts department has the reputation for turning out ex- cellent students who enjoy drawing intricate blue prints for houses, cabinets, or just about anything. Industrial Arts students rely on imagination for their drawings. HI enjoy drafting, it is helping me pursue my career as an architect, stated John Pritchett, junior. Woodworking students learn basic furniture construction, and General Metals introduces students to making sketches, learning proper use of hand tools, and reading drawings. Drafting has been thoroughly enjoyable. I have pro- gressively acquired drafting skills, commented Ricky Dunn, senior. Mechanical Drafting gives students an understanding of the basics of drafting.

22 Homemaking students set goals Homemaking students acquired skills and knowledge necessary for feeding a family and managing a home wisely. Emphasis was also placed on child care and development and becoming a wise consumer. Home and Family Living classes included per- sonality and character development, clarification of students' values, male and female roles in society, dating and mate selection, and problems in parenting and family life. One activity enjoyed by students in Home and Family Living classes was a mock semi-formal wedding including a reception. I enjoyed Home and Family class, it was one of the best classes l've taken, commented Jim- my Elston, senior. Each student was also required to set a per- sonal goal and make plans to reach that goal. Students evaluated these results. This process helped students to gain self-confidence and undertake challenges in the future, stated Mrs. Betty Brawley, homemaking teacher. Xu . AcademicsfHomecoming .

Deadline plays major class activity role We've got to meet our deadlines, is a line often used in the confusion and pressure of the Journalism department. Deadline plays an important role in the life of a journalist, because if a deadline isn't met, the story won't be published, stated Paula Morgan, Journalism instructor. Journalism, generally considered an easy class, in truth takes hard work and determination. Journalism takes time and effort, but it's rewarding to see my story in print, stated Dana Dowell, Journalism I student. .,, A, ...,,. ,,,., mm if , , i V J . l .. ,.,,,,,, ., , - ,iii - 2 M ..,..,f. l J J t f',- .i1it'f1' 1 ,lt 5 AcademicsfJournaIism 1 I as , X R , W qv E I 'lliiii i ma.. 1.
