Industrial Arts Advance New Skills Above: In woodshop Joey Starvaggi makes a candle holder on the wood-lathe. Sl65'f he E,-,,,,.. bell-- Scotty Bell prepares a layout in vocational drafting. Drafting and woodshop, the two lndus- trial Arts classes, taught students basic skills needed in future iobs of engineering, draft- ing, and construction..Accuracy, neatness, and safety were stressed in both courses. In drafting, students were taught skills in technical and architectural drafting. Work in the class consisted of learning new tech- niques and drawing different architectural plans. Outside of the class, the architectural drafting class went to Astro Hall to see the home builders show. Also, along with the Woodshop classes, the drafting classes watched the construction of the new addi- tion at A.H.S. Ideas were expressed by the use of lines, signs, and symbols. Technical drafting taught students the basic funda- mentals of drafting. Those who wished to continue drafting were able to get summer jobs on drafting proiects. Woodshop trained students in the build- ing and construction of wooden proiects. Instructions in the use of tools and machin- ery emphasized safety. Skills were devel- oped through home proiects. This course not only gave students a chance to help with house repairs, but also provided them with a hobby. These constructive courses, which made up the Industrial Arts Department, prepared Aldine boys for future iobs in industry. l3l Mr. Leslie Acker 'X Al Ill Mr. George Cummings l2l Mr. Bernard Detlefsen

Classes were taught by Mr. Joe Woodland and Mr. David McCullough. Some ofthe procedures taught in the classes concerned the preparations of meats, care of ani- mals, soil care, and the knowledge of machinery used in everyday, outdoor living.
