The guys have a positive attitude, Mr. Murphy add- ed about the 21 students, all boys, in the group. Their many activities included helping the maintenance crew change air filters in all the classrooms, fixing air and heating units in teachers' cars, repairing electrical receptacles around the school and contributing materials to the Food Training Labs. The Air Conditioning Club sold ceramics and books to raise money. They won first place in the Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive when they donated the greatest number of canned goods for the needy. Free air conditioning and heating repairs were also made for the needy and unemployed. Members learned how to type, use computers and developed office management and sales skills. Air Conditioning members hope more students will become in- terested in the air conditioning field and will join the club in the future. 2 'S J .1 . .K X Demonstrating how to flx a squirrel cage, is senior Mike Lira. dps by

This organization is part of the Office Education Association. As the school year began, members got acquainted with those from other Aldine schools. Hour after hour, day after day, week after week, students worked miraculously on the computers, beginning with the basics through Fortran.

Second year students progressed to more advanced operations and programming. Some had part-time jobs in data entry, marketing and various data processing areas in business and industry. They were also offered the opportunity to re- main in class and learn more intense programming as well as operations and systems design. Later in the year students com- peted at the regional and state level in data processing events. They were very successful in competition and added to their growing collec- tion of plaques and trophies. Buisseomd elep 623

Some of the jobs that the students had were machinist, welder, mechanic and shop workers. This club gave the students useful training for the future. This year the club went on two field trips. They visited the Police Academy and the Universal Technical Institute. Wade Gustafson, a senior student who got a job through the class, said, lt was a good experience to be able to work and get credit for it in school.
