Industrial Arts Donated Equipment, A Plus Again the industrial arts department continued successful in several ways. The transition to a four-year high school increased students enrolled in these classes which were offered to both boys and girls. The classes were expanded in content to encourage the girls to sign up. New classes added during the year were: Woods IV-(a fourth year class in woodworking for advanced students), and in Drafting there were: Restructured Blueprint Reading and Technical Illustration (both specialty classes for people with drawing experience). The closure of Academy Junior High enabled the department to gain some equipment. They were given a drill press, a table saw, a tractor, drafting machines, templates and drawing sets. The students who enrolled in these classes were able to -j learn a number of vocational skills, which had practical application. 1 William Cunningham puts some last minute touches on his furniture project. 2.

Science Lab Space Increased It was a year of adjustment in the science area for teachers and students alike. In spite of the required “give and take” during the early part of the year while students, equipment and facilities were adjusted to absorb the added freshmen, things went well. The new staff persons included Mr. Dennis Marquering who taught Biology and Physical Science and Mr. Don Brostrom who worked with Physical Science. These two added considerable depth and expertise to the existing staff of three full-time instructors. According to dept, chairman Stan Church, major improvements resulted from the completion of the physical science lab area which provided much needed lab space. The room was shared by Brostrom and Marquering and was finished during the third nine weeks. Special attention was given to course enrollment and efforts were made to provide for individual interests and needs of students. Various activities of note included the heavy emphasis on inverter-brate biology in some classes and a dual credit research paper, t completed in the third nine weeks. 2 26 • Science 1.
