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.

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

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap by Robert Foster. Only a 55.00 shop fee, plus parts, is charged for work- ing on a car. Grease, Grime and fit lt always seemed to amaze me how much students learn during the vacation between their junior and senior years, said Mr. George A. Reed, Auto Mechanics sponsor. Auto Mechanics students aren't in there for a free ride. They actually want to learn all they can about car repairs. This was evident by the large number of students in Auto Mechanics last year. There were 16 seniors and 23 juniors. Auto Mechanics members provid- ed the school and community with a place to have their cars and lightweight trucks repaired for a very nominal charge, by students learning the trade. Members sold donated car ac- cessories, such as radios, to earn extra money for their annual picnic in May. They participated in the Plymouth Competition, also in May, and entered many school activities like Sadie Hawkins competition. Most of the members of Auto Mechanics have taken a job in a shop or are running their own businesses. Mr. Reed also proudly claimed that there have been no industrial accidents in all of his years as an in- structor. This gives Auto Mechanics a very good record for being a suc- cessful club at MacArthur. Taking a stab at the engine, Kenny Cooke at- tempts a car repair. It's a dlrty job, but someone has to do it,' says Oscar Reyes to Joe Torres. dps by
