Industrial Arts Very Rewarding Industrial Arts provides creative, self-fulfilling, revyarding, and challenging experiences, all of which helps to build a complete person. Generally this is accomplished through the building of unique projects, such as grandfather clocks, Gun Cabinets, Tresle tables, cast automobile parts and piston lamps. There were some projects which were required, usually of beginning students, such as a hanging spoon rack. This was done to establish basic skills and knowledge of materials and machines being used by industry. Later there is time for the students to design or use the available project plans for projects that might be more appealing and useful to them. More female students have started to take shop classes. It has helped them to become alittle less dependent on someone else for help when it might not be available. The Industrial Arts Department offers skills which can be used in future vocational work.

Art Department Decorates School The Art Department was very busy this year trying to bring alive the school spirit in the student body. They decorated the commons for Halloween and Christmas and painted the sets for the school plays. Mr. Blinn said his students showed alot of enthusiasm this year, especially his second year art students who really enjoyed ceramics. Tammy Newland, senior, who had been in art for three years said that the class was very enjoyable. She also stated that the first year art students spend alot of time drawing their fellow classmates while they're learning about drawing hands, heads, and bodies. According to Tammy, the second year art students learn how to do silkscreening, pottery, and oil painting. In the third year pf art, students can do anything they ve learned in the first two years. No matter what year of art they're taking all the students have to do daily reports and bibliographies. Despite that fact, many of the students enjoyed that art class and took it for more than one year. Kalene Shank, senior and Debbie Ferguson, sophomore, work on animal drawings in sixth hour art class. Tammy Newland, senior, works on variety show posters while sophomore, Jane Harper looks on. Craig Williams and Brian Brewster, seniors, make stain glass windows in sixth hour art class. 26
