Industrial club just 14 Despite a slow first semester In- dustrial Arts Club had a very active year. With only 14 members the club was still able to see several out- standing events. One of the year ' s highlights was a chance for club members to go to a Pacer basketball game. The club also attended a Komet hockey game, held a basketball tourney among members, and emphasized National Energy Education Day. The club ' s sponsors were Mr. Gary Cheesman and Mr. Dan Baughey. Two awards were established for the club this year. The purpose of the awards according to Mr. Chees- man is to recognize at least two outstanding students who have pur- sued Industrial Art courses during their high school careers. The first award is the Industrial Leadership award. To receive this award the member must be enrolled in at least two I A classes during his senior year and must be an I A major. The second award is given to the member known throughout the de- partment for his dependability.
