Technicians in Training Vocational Drafting members learned the skills and technology needed to prepare them for the challenges which lie ahead in the world of engineering. Drafting also provided specialized learning experiences which em- phasized theory and shop as it related to gathering and translating data and specifications. The training included aspects of planning, preparing, interpreting mechanical, architectural, structural, piping and other drawings and sketches. Extracurricular activities began with the third annual egg drop in September. The purpose of the egg drop was to be able to release an egg from the second story without having it break when it hit the ground. Another activity was the an- nual Ellen B. Lane Center carnival where the members enthusiastically brought entertainment to the students. Drafting members also did machine shop drafting for the American Specialties Company. They also participated in the Texas State Drawing Competition in March, VICA District Contest and the State Contest in April. Vocational Drafting is a great organization. Everyone had the op- portunity to learn while having fun. It was an everlasting experience and a wonderful learning process, stated Lupina Layton.
