Future Mechanics Their Goal Removing a broken stud from a manifold is one of the skills Wayne Buster is taught. Chris Hester finds that working on a transmission involves laying flat on his back and dodging grease spots. Automechanics classes are designed to prepare high school youths for employment by providing training in the basic skills and technical knowl- edge of the automotive field. Each student re- ceives three hours of shop instruction each school day which is taught under the guidance of Mr. Bob Barnes in a modernly equipped shop. Students receive a Vocational Certificate from the Texas Education Agency after completing this two year course. They can not be absent any more than ten days per year to receive this izertifi- cate. The automechanic classes take periodic field trips to different manufacturers in the automotive field or related areas. They also visit other school shops to get different ideas for shop lay-outs. eos BARNES i 1 T, U. of H. Teaches-Auto Me- iw Q. 1 cl-ionics f-gwmlf g k,rk V , In .

Students Prepare for Future III Cosmetolog In the four years that the Cosmetology depart- ment has been established, it has grown rapidly as a vocational course. This is due to the great interest displayed by the girls at Aldine in Cos- metology as a future. This two year course enables its students to be- come beauticians of skill and knowledge. All the basic techniques for professional beauticians are taught in this class, such as, hair styling, scalp manipulations, manicures, and facials. One of the new additions added to the Cosme- tology department this year is the proiector and film from the Clairol company. This phase of teach- ing enables girls to get a diploma in the field of hair coloring while they are in high school. This eliminates the necessity of having to attend a beau- ty school after graduation. Mrs. Dorothy Jackowski has been the Cosme- tology teacher at Aldine for two years. This year there are 47 girls taking this course. One of the outstanding girls who has achieved honor in the field of Cosmetology is Linda Taylor, who is Dis- trict Secretary. Gwen Coburn practices rolling hair on a mannequin.
