Students learned how to use computers, which had become an integral part of soci- ety. In the Industrial Technology Department, students learned car mechanics, home maintainance, en- gineering, electronics, and construc- tion. The Industrial Technology classes offered many opportunities to learn through various activities. The building classes constructed a com- plete home inside the industrial technology building, while some of the engineering students designed house plans for next year's building classes. Construction student Sean McMahon said, Making the house was a great thrill for me. I learned many important skills. Engineering students used com- 102!computers Sz industrial technology puters to make drafting easier and more accurate. Doug Welsh, an engi- neering student, said, The Comput- er Assisted Drafting System helped me to understand computers better than I did before. The system is quite extensive and I've gotten a broader technical background with its usef' Computer classes gave students a chance to become acquainted with the computer, learning both the ba- sics and more advanced skills. Com- puter teacher Mr. Randy Derrig said, ll l ' .... if' -f 1 I The main focus of our computer classes is to inform students of pro- gramming, logic, and organization skills and how to communicate with computers.
