Industrial Arts An eye-catcher again this year, Industrial Arts offered a wide and varied program. For students planning an art-related career, a two year course consisting of Basic Tech and Engineering Drawing provided the needed experience to give future artists a helping hand in grasping perspective, proportion, and form. To give students a better idea of basic technical skills and to help them become more aware of the problems of construction and design, a three year course consisting of Mechanical Drawing I, II, and Fundamentals of Engineering were studied. These courses proved to be the medium for encouraging interest in such fields as architecture and machine tool design. Using such basic equipment as compasses and lead pencils, the Industrial Arts students added their talents to Practical Arts Night. Being able to display their projects gave them a sense of accomplishment. 54
