DRAFTING This year there were four seniors and two juniors in the shop. The main objective of the course is to prepare its students with enough background experience to give them a head-start in the field of drafting. One of the juniors, Fran Franks, entered the 1981 Model Building Competition which is sponsored by the General Builders and Contractors Association. After hours of time and effort and with the expert advice of the instructor, Mr. Homer Wightman, Fran’s model received and Honorable Mention Award worth twenty-five dollars. This year’s draftsmen kept busy by drawing up residential plans, training aids, athletic and academic awards, and personal project blueprints for the students in other shops, as they continually sharpened their drafting skills.
