Club members and the aircraft they used to fly to Industrial Arts Convention in San Diego early in the Spring semester, ACTIVITIES: - During the Spring semester, four Industrial Arts Club members rented an airplane from Ranchaero Airport and flew down to San Diego for the C. I. E. A. Convention. The trip, which took six hours, was made by Woody Nelson, Vern Squire, Earl McDowell, and Carl Nelson, They visited Mexico as well as attend the many interesting meetings during the two-day convention. Woody Nelson piloted the airplane. The Industrial Arts Pioneer Day Parade float was awarded an honorable mention by the parade judging committee this year. The float depicted an old time barbershop. Bob Hawkins and his float committee used genuine old time barbershop equipment in constructing the float. To add to the humor, which included hedge clippers and blacksmith tongs for cutting hair and pulling teeth, one of the men was taking a Saturday bath in an old tub which was located on top of the truck's cab. During Pioneer Week festivities, the Industrial Arts Club was honored in having its presi- dent, Glenn I-Ioifmann, elected as Pioneer Day Sheriff. The Industrial Arts Club received a first prize for their exhibit at the Third District Pair in Chico in the Spring. Many I. A. Club members put on demonstrations in lathe work and pottery making for the exhibit. It is the policy of the Industrial Arts Club to participate in as many field trips as possible during each semester. The club believes that this type of activity is very helpful and essential in rounding out the curriculum of all I. A. students. Some of the field trips were made to Columbia Steel, United Plywood, and an olive oil plant.
