Consisting of mechanical drawing and woodshop, students are trained in skills that will be useful in the future. These skills are especially useful in the fields of engineering, drafting, and construc- tion. ln woodshop, the students are trained in gen- eral woodwork to give them an idea of some of the methods used in construction. The stu- dents build everything from tie racks to gun cabinets and work on various proiects through- out the year. ln' mechanical drawing the goal is to teach the students enough about vocational drafting so that they will be able to hold a position upon gradua- tion. During the course of a year the students are instructed in pipe, technical, and architectural drafting. t . ...-.feff......fxa1s L. E. Acme lls. Sul Ross State, B.S. Teaches-Voc. drafting A .. ,.

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

Art Classes Develop Skills To teach students to understand and appreciate the art of painting is the main obiective of the art classes at Aldine. ln art classes students are taught the uses and techniques of various media in paintings and drawings.

Oil paint- ings techniques are done through the use of the acrylic polymer emulsion technique. The students also studying lettering and lay-out composition. Throughout the course application and relationship are made to various media by a brief study of the history of the media and the artists in the past who have used them.
