Air Conditioning Tau ht for First Time at A H S A.H.S. gladly welcomes the new vocational course of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. This course, taught by Mr. Shelton Jack, contains thir- ty-seven students, all of which plan to enter this profession upon graduation. There are 13 in the morning class and 19 in the afternoon class. All of these students are first year students. After completing this course, students are capable of becoming an advanced apprentice. After serving as an advanced apprentice, students may obtain a degree as an air conditioning engineer if they wish to further their education. This field could be very rewarding according to Mr. Jack. As there is a vast shortage of refrigeration mechanics and an unlimited demand for such mechanics, there is a ready market for their skill and knowl- edge. A new class will be taught at the new McArthur High School. Dwayne Rushing John Rushing, and William Delcon repair the motor of an air conditioner as Alton Haley looks on
