sis lb X 35 EN' E x X Students who had a loue for cars got a chance to learn cz profession and their new-found knowledge made Motors pun' and chrome shine lt feels good to transfer my knowledge to them lstudentslf' Mr. Charles Cautrell, teacher and sponsor of Auto Body, said. To get a car into the shops, there was a list on which your name was placed. How soon your car was maintenanced depended mostly upon if it was educational to the students. The people whose cars were used paid only for parts and materials. These people did not pay for labor because the students received a grade for the work that was done. Among the things that were done by these students were smoothing out, repairing and replacing damaged auto parts, painting cars and working with plastic and fiberglass. Three students who showed exceptional talents, according to Mr. Cautrell, were Cur- tis Williams, junior, Cliff Robinson, senior, and Terry Wilson, sophomore. To Mr, Cautrell, these students could already do a job without having me breathe down their necks. Working on the engines of automobiles was considered just as important as working on the body of the cars. Auto mechanic classes, which have been taught by Harold Black for ten years, were working on this task throughout the year. Mr. Black stated that if he had to teach any other course he would not be interested. I feel that what l'm doing has to help the students' future. Auto mechanical training can be con- verted and applied to other related fields as well. Most of the students who wished to broaden their knowledge made plans to at- tend some sort of technical school. A trained auto mechanic can make as much as S500 a week, with auto technicians getting an estimated 540,000 a year. Mr. Black commented, 'iIt's going to be here for a long time. People will always need transportation, and people to repair it. Someday I have plans of opening my own auto body shop. - Kevin Atkinson Sophomore Terry Wilson sands a car in the shop to prepare it for priming.
