For those students who wished to express themselves in a creatively manual way, Building Trades and auto mechanics offered a unique opportunity. Under the expert guidance of Mr. John Boylan, students were given the opportu- nity to use their manual talents to build and repair items such as: weight room benches, VOCCT easels, science room faucets, office cabinets, a book drop for the library, a concession stand, and a mag- azine rack for the ROTC Dept. In April, Chris Medrano and Gerardo Rivas traveled to Houston, Texas after qualifying locally with their bench project. The boys built the bench out of a dead cot- ton-wood tree they stumbled across one day. Mr. Boylan said he was very pleased with the boys' performance, adding that if all the classrooms were filled with students like the ones in his classes, then he'd feel very confident about our future. Mr. Boylan's comments were also ech- oed by Mr. Arthur Stancliff, auto mechan- ics teacher. Mr. Stancliff's department was also represented in state competition by Art Lucero, who rebuilt an automobile transmission and by Jesus Gonzalez and Albert Morales who overhauled two auto- mobile engines. ln addition to their tasks, the boys also had to write a step-by-step procedure write-up. Mr. Stancliff added that the boys com- pleted their tasks with very little if any, teacher supervision.
