Coordination and patience are required of Dennis Walker ichen experimenting loith the oscilloscope to achieve required lab results in electronics class. New raachines enlarged currlculura Drafting machines along with com- plete offset printing equipment and an electronic wood welder were among ex- tensive new machinery used by the four industrial arts teachers in their classes. The drafting machines replaced the older T-squares and triangles used in mechanical design. The new electronic welder dried glue in seconds that former- ly required hours. Printing equipment opened a new area in graphic arts. Although use of industrial arts rooms was delayed by slowed construction, eventually metal shop students used their new horizontal milling machine, new metal cutting facilities and a new lathe for handling larger stock. Almost all equipment in the wood shop was new, including three sanders, one of which was a drum sander. Besides the new equipment this year. for the first time in Blackford County, offset printing and photography were offered in industrial arts. Netv equipment makes ivork easier for Wayne Deskins ivhen cutting sheet metal, while Mike Schuhmacher, Chester Berry, Monte Reese and Mark Charnley work on their own projects.
