Industrial Arts Increase Manual Abilities After learning the fundamentals, the boys in the industrial arts classes are free to work on individual proiects, such as making a lamp,draw- ing blueprints, constructing a stereo cabinet, or building radio. Taught in one semestercourses are bo i fundamentals of the subiect and the use an i, ety of the various tools. Along with more specific and technical information, knowl- edge of the course to industry is gained through the advanced courses. This department opens countless new views, consisting of metal work, electricity, woodworking, and drawing, to pro- spective workers in trade or industry. Explaining the process to Steve Berry is Mr. Robert Fish, above, as Arnold Lovell and Thomas Anderson work on the proiect. At the right, Gene LeVake and Mike Schultz shape the wood for their proiects as Dennis Terhark looks on. 28

Probing into the secrets of nature and the universe, science students are faced with new challenges every- day. To the science student, biology, physics, and chemistry are a collec- tion of unusual experiences. The doors to hundreds of different areas in this broad field are flung open as the searching mind learns more and more about the astounding phe- nomena of life and the things sur- rounding it. Each year there lurks the danger that chemistry students in 'their darling black aprons will blow up the school. Exploring the different phyla of plant and animal life and their relative make-up is one of many activities of biology students. The bio- work. logy labs are easily recognized by the unforgettable smell of formalde- hyde. Physics offersarealchallenge to students who want to advance further into the study of matter and energy. The physics student becomes more skilled not only as a physicist, but as an artist as he draws canopen- ers and water tanks. Included in Harding's well-rounded, science cur- riculum is the D-program, in which students who show exceptional scien- tific ability are grouped into accel- erated classes. Although certain as- pects of these subiects may seem ri- diculous at times, they are the key to the future discoveries which will af- feat all of our lives.

Playing their favorite piece ot music is Harding's band as they practice tor the sport's assembly. Students learn the ways of self-expression through achievements in art classes. They give students a broader sense of art appreciation by teaching the basics of form, texture, tone, balance, and color har- mony. The art courses are divided into the four di- visions ot Art I, ll, Ill, and IV. Students in Art I and ll deal with the study of art fundamentals, history and the building of simple crafts, preparing them forthe higher and advanced proiects. ln Art Ill and IV, they are self-supervised as they create more complex and advanced proiects. Band classes instruct students in music comprehension. Harding's band plays a large part in school assemblies and games.
