Need to Know ™ Repair Skills 500 students loaded the industrial arts classes. They realized the practicality of developing skills in working with metal, wood, and automobiles in inflation times. Guys and gals candidly said the skills they learned in shops helped them save on repair bills for their cars, electrical appliances and other mechanical necessities. Females enrolled in automotive mechanics was the new twist for Ron Lopes and the boys in Auto Shop. Another important addition to E.H.S. in ’74-’75 was the formation of VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). Nationwide VICA is one of the fastest growing clubs in high schools. Its members attend state and local conventions and meetings where they use their acquired industrial talents in competi- tions within their specialties. Lessons — 23

Students Plant Cypress Trees: Graduates Gift Teaching students to beautify America through a landscape and gardening class started in Fall ’74 was Encinal’s contribution to ecology. Richard Lowe is the originator of the class. It was a big hit with the 109 students enrolled dur- ing the first semester. Novice gardeners planted Monterey Express trees around the perimeter of the E.H.S. football field. The trees were to help suppress the actions of the cold, fierce winds of the San Francisco Bay. The much needed trees were the gift of the graduating class of 1974. Stu- dents also reconditioned the area adjacent to the typing rooms, commonly called “the logs.” They trimmed trees, excavated ice plants, and did basic clean-up. Because of a limited amount of time and numerous planned activities, including the construction of a greenhouse, landscape and gar- dening was expanded to a two period class at the semester change.
