Industrial Arts Develop Vocational Skills The industrial arts program of FCHS was continually striving to improve the program offered to students this year. The department consisted of five courses, drafting, woods, electricity, metals and printing. Mr. Kaufman was the new department head. Various projects were undertaken by the classes in the department. Some of these included individual projects in woodworking, such as making checker- boards and shelves, printing the newspa- per in vocational printing classes, and exploring the field of electronics in elec- tricity. Each member of Mr. Kaufman ' s machine shop classes was required to complete an individual project by the end of the semester.

The Heritage Singers also gained a new look and sound with the addition of contemporary costume and music repertoirs. The department, composed of three choirs: the Girls ' Choir, the Cadette Choir, and the Concert Choir, combined to present a Fall Festival of Song and a program for the lighting ceremonies of the Christmas decorations in downtown Franklin. The annual Madrigal Dinner was held in the cafeteria on December 17. They also presented a January con- cert and the musical, Bye, Bye Birdie. One pupil expressed it best when he said, Sure it was a lot of hard work for everyone, but I can ' t wait until next year to start working again! 28
