New Vocational Classes The Industrial Arts depart- ment, under the leadership of Mr. Larry Helphenstine, pro- vided a variety of classes for students. This department was in the process of changing to more technological courses to give students greater opportuni- ties in the job market after high school. Computerized equip- ment was a part of the new look. Two teachers were added to the department this year. Mr. Dan Chapin was the transpor- tation teacher and Mr. Millard Quails taught vocational elec- tronics. Some of the more traditional classes in this department in- cluded mechanical drawing, ar- chitectural drafting, construc- tion, power mechanics, blue- print reading, graphic arts, and electricity. There were two vocational shops. Vocational Auto Me- chanics was taught by Mr. John Roberts and Vocational Elec- tronics was taught by Mr. Quails. A new Hunter comput- erized digital four-wheel align- ment unit and rack were pur- chased for the Vocational Auto Mechanics class. Mr. Roberts proudly remarked, Manual is one of only two schools to have this equipment. Mr. John Fox was the ICT Coordinator and graphic arts instructor. Students in the ICT vocational program received high school credits for their jobs in the community. Students enrolled in Industri- al Arts classes received skilled training in printing, construc- tion skills, welding, metals, electronics, and drafting. Such skills helped prepare the stu- dents for the world of the fu- ture. Working together on a printing project are sophomores Jermaine Richards, Roland Terrell, Cindy Crabtree, and Renee Shipley. Using strength and skill, junior Bob Gates and senior Mike Simpson take a tire off the rim while junior Thomas Petty gives some helpful advice. With concentration and precision, sen- ior Brian McKenzie does the detail work on his project. 22 Industrial Arts

Meeting Students ' Needs The Business Education de- partment was one of seven de- partments to get a new depart- ment head this year. Mrs. Janet Weaver, who had been depart- ment head at Marshall High School before its closing, came to Manual in the same position. The Business Education de- partment offered a variety of classes to meet the students ' needs. In these classes the stu- dents learned and used new skills that would help them in office careers. To prepare students to enter the business world of the future, computers and word processors were used extensively. Today ' s offices use word processors. Students who can use word pro- cessors will find many job op- portunities in the business world, explained Mrs. Joyce Cook, business teacher. Several vocational programs were offered by the department. Miss Barbara Boeldt served as coordinator of the COE pro- gram and Mr. Randy Smith was coordinator for Marketing Education, better known as ME. In these programs stu- dents spent part of their day in class and the other part on the job. Most of the COE students worked in local offices or busin- esses, using what they learned in the classroom in a real-life situation. These students re- ceived pay for their work as well as school credit. Students in the ME program also held jobs in the community for both pay and credit. Many of them had jobs in retail. Accounting teacher Mr. Roy Calder gives some individual help to junior Nita Bartlett. While reading an advanced typing as- signment. Kim Warriner, senior, pon- ders her next move. 24 Business Education
