Shop Classes Develope Skill Industrial Arts classes at Edison High School were taught by Mr. James Whittington and Mr. Donald Day. Industrial Arts I and ll instruction was shared by both teachers. Mr. Whittington taught the advanced classes Ill and IV. Students in Industrial Art I learned the basic fundamentals of metals, woodworking, shop math, and electricity. Constructing a spoon rack, a wall shelf, or a sewing tray were project choices for this class. Techniques and skills were broader and developed in Industrial Arts ll. Projects made by the students were gun cabinets and cedar chests. Industrial Arts Ill and IV put all their skills to such challenging projects as grandfather clocks and dining room hutches. For his project Scott Schaefer, junior, made a grandfather clock. John Bostater, junior, con- structed a cedar chest and Dale Koch, soph- omore, a dining room hutch. At the annual Arts and Music Festival May 3 and 4 many of the projects made in these classes throughout the school year were dis- played for students, parents, and friends to view. MR.

Inflation and the changing roles of s,..,a.,.... - :ae men and women have aroused some . . futuristic changes in the atmosphere of the home economics rooms. The doors are opening again and again to the boys and to a wider variety of fi girls, perhaps attracted by the sem- 1 ester courses new this year. Home f Economics IV has been replaced by i such courses as advanced clothing, practical home economics, needle- ly work, advanced foods, and advanced home furnishings. It seems the boys . We have found home furnishings to be of some value, either for their not-so- far away bachelor days or for the changing role of a husband. College preparatory students, who did not have the time, are now able to fit home economics classes into their schedule. Nlrs.

A student in this class got to select his project. They varied last year from making rings and jewelry to pot- tery. Other projects included making leather belts, mocassins, wax candles, key chains, and bracelets. Mr. Day also was the teacher for the mechanical drawing classes.
