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.

psychology 244 Miriam Ortiz and Carmen Reyes look like they have trouble making decisions. Monica DeAnda and Asha Nandlal wonder if cosmetology could have done a better job on their makeup. Psychology Club takes over the school grounds of Sam Houston State University. It Is All in Your Head We had a special relationship in the Psychology Club. We truly cared about each other. Club members were an extended famiIy, explained Ms. Peggy Coleman, sponsor. The club started the year with an eye-catching initiation day. Faces painted half black and half white, topped off with black cone-shaped hats, could be seen all around the school. Ms. Coleman taught that hav- ing the right attitude is half the battle and it showed on initiation day. When my 'kids' went through initia- tion, I knew they really wanted to be a member, she said. Members were active all year long. They held a banquet at Christmas, sponsored a talent show, played soft- ball against various clubs and com- peted in Sadie Hawkins events. They donated half the money to build the trophy case in the cafeteria. They did this so that as club members left, and with them their memories, there would also be a place for memories at school. Daniel Huerta and Roslna Nunez enjoy a quiet sit at the banquet. dps by
