“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.

“Men At Work” Although there are a few women in the trade classes, the classes are still heavily dominated by men. In the met¬ al trades it’s easy to see why. The guys put on goggles, or face masks, big heavy aprons and thick gloves, just to melt two pieces of metal together. Students go into the Metal Trades for several reasons. They can machine parts that are no longer available for cars and equipment. They learn how to handle heavy shop equipment and turn out delicate and fragile metal works. Just like the other trade classes, these guys learn how to “do it all” in their area, from cleaning a file to welding a car frame back together. Drafting is the only trade class a stu¬ dent can take without putting on a big apron or safety googles, but that doesn’t mean its a breeze. In some oth¬ er classes you have erasres to get rid of mistakes or a file to level something out, but in Drafting, if it’s not right, the building falls down!! And this is not a good way to keep your job. Mr. Mike Rainey instructs Jimmy Spillane and Danny Michaels on the delicate use of a heavy drill press to produce a hole in an exact spot. Glenn Roberts watches. Mrs. Juanita Gordon makes the Awards Presen¬ tation of the first students to finish the Drafting Program: Avi Ruffin, Mike Lucy and Joel John¬ son. An extremely small file is needed to take off the burr on a welding project by Timmy Hayes. -is facing his project, another step in making the project look like a professional did it. 30
