Mr. Foote's Woodshop Increases In Popularity Pictured below is a fiberglass boat being lifted from the mold, This was the second year that De Anza students made fiberglass boats in woodshop, There is only one required project in ninth grade woodshop and that is a lathe turning. Other than that the boys can make whatever they want as long as it fits through the double doors. There were enough ninth grade boys interested to make up three classes of woodshop rather than the regular two. ! r Miss Clark Heads Social Studies Department This year Miss Clark was supervisor for the Girls Council and also chairman of the Social Studies Department, 'She taught Current Problems, U,S, Government, Minority Prob- lems, Political and Economic Systems, Issues Today, and Government and the Individual, '34 '50-I 'thaw gm. ,
