Q, r IN MECHANICAL drawing, boys acquire skill in drawing with a compass, an further their use and knowledge oi' math. Industrial arts 'goggled' 28 they The Industrial A r t s Department this year operated under a new state law requiring everyone to Wear safe- ty goggles at all times. The goggles were to lessen the chances of flying debri hitting a student in the eyes and to help promote better safety ha- bits by pupils. In woodwork classes many pupils made various articles of furniture. Others built gunracks and end tables. The print shop received a new light weight oiset press capable of making 8000 impressions an hour. In electric shop the pupils first learned how to wire a house. They used match-ups of house W i rin g which one would encounter if he de- cided to become an electrician. In auto shop, pupils learned how an automobile engine works and how to repair one. The pupils in drafting learned new skills in drawing with new equipment received in October. RAYMOND Qualls demonstrates how to use the reproduction proof press. This press pro- duces excellent copy for the camera and is the first step in offset printing.

THE DRILL TEAM stands at perfect attention after completing a series of drills in a practice session. This team won many honors this year. Two new commanadants, SFC William Farm- er and FXSGT Jack Tomson lead the Washington ROTC unit to new heights in the 1967-68 s ch o ol year. The cadets were taught how to drill and con- duct themselves for the annual federal inspection in May. Cadets were trained to fire 22 caliber small bore rifles. They were taught the positions which they must know to keep the rifle steady for direct hit. Cadets were trained to field strip an M1 rifle, M2 carbine, Browning automatic rifle, and a 45 cali- ber pistol in case of mechanical problem in the wea- pon. Many honors were won by ROTC this year in- cluding fourth place in the Veterans' Day Parade. In October, Cadet Colonel Steve Abney was pro- moted to Deputy Brigade Commander, the second highest position in the city. The Drill Team took third place in straight drill in an exhibition drill at the North Central Invitational. The Drill Team also attended the invitational meet at Butler University and they participated in field day events at Tech High School. Washington took second place in squad drill competition, third place in first aid, and first place in the ROTC- NDCC rifle match which was held at Washington in November. The Varsity score was the highest score ever fired by a six-man team in Indianapolis ROTC 27-year history. The rifle team, representing seven city high school units, took fourth place in the state rifle match at Culver Military Academy. 30 New commandants CADET SPONSORS Nancy Persinger and Beth Cook inspect for neatness and question cadets on common military know- ledge.
