Night school proves to be RIETY GF STUDE TS Night School rounded out the curriculum by allowing people who worked full time during the day to take classes offered at night. Night students were given the opportunity to utilize their time and continue their educa- tion. The classes were offered Monday through Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. Night classes ranged from Autobody to English to Manual Communications lsign languagej. Some of the courses with high enrollment numbers were Autobody, Computer Programming, Con- versational Spanish, Upholstery and Woodwork- ing. Ten students were required to enroll in a class before it could be offered. Sixty-nine night classes were offered Spr- ing semester with an enroll- ment of 900 students. The majority of students were adults who were work- ing toward a degree, self im- provement or expanding a hobby. Several students repeated classes such as Silversmithing, Woodworking and Autobody. Many classes expanded to a second night to provide more opportunities for over flowing classes. 98 Night ClasseslAcademics Several people from the community taught night classes. There were 20 part- time instructors as well as several regular daytime in- structors. Instructors of academics classes were required to hold a college degree, while most of the crafts and vocational class instructors required ex- perience and skill. Welding and Trapshooting Instructor Ira Mann said he enjoyed the supplementary check. However, he did not teach night classes entirely for the money. I have made a lot of friends over the years, and I like teaching adults, they are more mature and tend to get more things done, Mann said. Mann also believed the non- stop three hour class was an advantage for the student. It gives the students a chance to get started and be able to work without turning around and putting everything up, he said. The evening classes were supervised by Assistant to the Dean of Instruction Emerson Stewart. Stewart was on cam- pus each evening to assist in- structors and students. He was also in charge of evening enrollment. All night classes were con- ducted under the same re- quirements as day classes. In- structors were evaluated and monitored on their perfor- mance.
