“If I Were A Carpenter” The title from a song done about the time these students were born still rings true. A good carpenter or furni¬ ture maker is always in demand, and as long as people like living in houses, al¬ ways will be in demand. Here students learned carpentry, from using a hand¬ saw, there are different types, you know, to drying nails. And this was the beginning. Lathes, drills and clamps were explored and, then, when the ba¬ sics were had, the students went on to whole-house construction! Everything from design to nailing up the last board. With Mr. Earl Byrd’s Wood Technol¬ ogies classes or “Doc” Washington’s Carpentry classes or Mrs. Juanita Gor¬ don’s Drafting classes, the students laid a solid foundation for being a car¬ penter. Wood is cheaper if you buy it square and make it round yourself as Warren Pearson learns using a lathe. The Birdhouse Project” of Mr. Byrd’s Wood Carl Bright puts in the last screw on a “T” hinge Technologies class: Mr. Earl Byrd, McArthur to hold up a door in Carpentry.

“No Parking On The Dance Floor” The Auto Mechanics guys make sure there will be no parking on the dance floor because they fix the cars right. And, as cars get more and more expen¬ sive, people hold onto theirs longer so that these guys could be in a very lu¬ crative position in the future. They run the entire gaunlet, from changing a tire to rebuilding an engine. Everyone who came to open house will remem¬ ber the car motor with no muffler in the shop when they fired it up. The Masonry class know their jobs, also. Just as houses keep being built, there will be jobs for these guys. They did everything from cleaning the tools and carrying the brick to building with the binds. Tools unfamiliar to every¬ one else fit smoothly into the hands of the Mason’s class. Going over a wall one last time are (working) Lor enzo Davis, and Donald Edmonds (supervis¬ ing) Jerry Rhodes, Ronald Brown, Arthur Gor¬ don, James Hardy, Preston Lewis and Thomas Walker.
