Industrial Arts develops skills In drafting, the students learned to draw floor plans using conventional symbols. Ad- vanced students converted their plans into models. The course aimed to develop habits of neatness and accuracy. Lamentation, the process of glueing thin layers of wood to form curves, was studied this year in Woodworking for the first time. Since no specific project was required for Woodworking I and II, students worked on a variety of tables, trays, and chairs. Advanced students in Woodworking III made chests and clocks.

More time spent driving on roads The Driver Education Department at Grosse Pointe South changed its program in 1968-69 by increasing the time students spend driving on the street. Now when the course is finished, each student has had an hour and a half of driving experience on the road as well as 15 hours at the Pier. Through this, the in- structors hope the students will become re- sponsible and mature drivers. To help Mr. Balcirak and Mr. Harris, there were 23 cadettes who assisted the students in driving. The cadettes are chosen by their ability and leadership. During the summer, five cadettes, Steve Ellis, Barbara Parson, Larry Markham, Grant Collins, and John Southcott won recognition for their entries in Volkswagon's National Driver Safety Contest.
