TECHNICAL DRAWING Graphic Arts Stressed Pursuing an interest in graphic arts instilled a continuity in the Technical Drawing program. Students started class work with simple copying and duplication, advanced through the use of air brush and inking; then gained mastery of drawing skills through architectural rendering. Emphasis was placed on one-to-one” instruction with open-ended assignments allowing students to complete a varied work load. Films shown to all of instructor Mr. David Breeden's students included: Shape Description, Perspective Drawing and Art and Motion ; all of which provided an extra educational method to enrich the impact value of the courses. A new blackboard drawing machine, used for drawing lines at different angles, adapted the blackboard to an oversized drafting apparatus for illustrating technical problems to classes. These areas provided occupational preparation to complete the program for those students planning to continue their education in the graphic arts.

THE TIME IS NOW .. .To Motivate Minds Inevitably, the hands of the clock crawled around the dial, day by day, though those held captive by it were less prone to follow its movement than before. Perhaps, it was because of the increasing use of individualized instruction, made possible by an expanding elective program. Or maybe, it was the result of a movement away from computerized scheduling and towards one-to-one counselling between teachers and students. Another reason might have been the reorganization of subject matter by teachers in an attempt to bring course content in line with pending state requirements. The fact that most classes saw a more positive attitude displayed by students, who were becoming more aware of their roles in a complex society, must not be ignored. Whatever the reason, 1973 saw the outlook towards academics improve and those seeking reasons why, may find them in the pages that follow.

onstrates the inking of a perspective drawing to fellow' students Keith AGRICULTURE “Know Your Land” The study of agriculture became timely with new and more relevant things happening during the year. The forestry and surveying class did extensive work in learning the many names of trees, along with touring saw mills to understand how lumber is made. They also investigated fire fighting, forest management and special consideration was given to crop studies; which included fertilizers, kinds of crops and how and when to plant them. The students of animal science gained a background in animal physiology, digestion and absorption of food, type and nature of feed and management practices. Emphasis was placed on livestock varieties, procedures and cattle marketing by instructor Mr. Robert Burnham. Work continued in the agriculture shop on the repair of farm machinery and the care of agricultural equipment under the direction of Mr. Lowell Buswell. Emphasis was placed on shop safety, the use of tools and machine set up with simple construction methods and principles of repair being stressed. In electric arc and oxy-acetylene welding, stress was placed on position welding, welding safety and fundamental welding principles. Juniors, Jim Ames and Rick Stepper survey uphill grades in Mr. Burnhams seventh period Forestry and Survey class. 17
