Developing Skills for the Future The Industrial Arts department had many course offerings and en- joyed a great turn out of students. Throughout the school year, indus- trial arts at Manual tried to improve the course offerings to meet the needs of all students. They were successful with large numbers of students in the department; howev- er, they continued to look for ways to better serve all students. The three skill courses that were offered were Vocational Auto Me- chanics, Vocational Electronics, and Vocational I.C.T. These spe- cialized courses were for students who were planning to seek employ- ment in these areas immediately after high school. The Industrial Arts department played a big role in helping students choose a career. The students seemed to enjoy themselves more when they were in groups. The teachers also seemed pleased with the trends that were changing the department. The Home Economics depart- ment saw an increase in the number of students who enrolled in that de- partment. More male students en- rolled in home economics classes. The home economics classes not only taught students how to cook and sew, they also taught them skills that they would need later on in life. Foods teacher Miss Christine Wagner stated, We talk about to- pics common in everyday life. We do things that students will need to know to make smart choices now and later on as adults.

Training for the Future Both physical education and ROTC helped students develop to their full potential. In each of these departments, students worked to develop strength, agility, and self- discipline. Physical education was a two-se- mester course that was required for graduation. Most students took physical education in their fresh- man year. However, some students continued to take advanced phys- ical education throughout the four years of high school. A weight training class for athletes was a part of the Physical Education depart- ment. In physical education classes stu- dents went through physical condi- tioning exercises. They also had an opportunity to learn to play differ- ent sports such as volleyball, foot- ball, soccer, basketball, archery, and horseshoes. ROTC was an elective course that could be taken any time during the four years of high school. Some students elected to take eight se- mesters of ROTC. These classes were taught by Sgt. Bruce Blauvelt and Sgt. Thomas James. ROTC gave students a chance to learn more about the military and helped them decide whether they wanted to enlist in the military after high school.
