FINISHING A DRAWING of a wall frame unit l in the Construction Trades class was A h- F m Kevin Corbett. Kevin attended morning classes at AVTI. When the 7:50 a.m. bell rang, about 50 Vo Tech students boarded a bus for their half hour ride to Dakota County AVTI. The students spent a two hour block of time in their chosen classes. Then they boarded the bus for the return trip to Has- tings. This whole process took up the first or last three hours of the day for some 100 students at Hastings Senior High. Students were offered a large selection of classes to choose from. These classes included animal care, auto service, bank and loan teller, building service occupations, construction trades, data entry operator, food service, graphic communica- tions, and many, many more. These classes were broken up into semester or year long time periods. All classes carried a 2 credit per semester grade. The students who were chosen for these classes, were selected by a selection committee. The committee consisted of princi- pals and counselors. The process of selection has many different aspects. Some of the criteria the' committee looked for when selecting stu- dents, was their attendance record, general interest in school and their job interest. REVIEWING CORRECT PROCEDURES in the afternoon Health Service Class at AVTI were: Bonita Swanson, Kathylzeien, Barbara Bother, Karen Swanson and Brenda Gerlach.

THE VILLIAN LAWYER, Gaylord, explains the fake will to heirs of the Paine family. Villian Strikes H . H . S. Z2eJ?5LZnE.?3Z was med This year's HHS Fall Play, a comical melodrama, FOR HER C-H-E-ILD'S SAKEU, was shown on November Yth, 8th and 9th in the senior high auditorium. The villian, Gaylord Duck- worth, plots and schemes to control the Paine family fortune and their cheese factory. Gay- lord forges a will, trys to manip- ulate Midge Paine to marry him, promises Dorothy Bullock marriage, and becomes engaged to Beatrice Hudnut. Gaylord fights with the hero, Fairfax Kesselburg, manages to be foiled at every turn and fi- nally gets blown up by his own bomb. Besides all of the action in front of the curtain, there was the action behind the scenes . Much of the play's story in- volves people you don't often see. This cast includes costume makers, set construction work- ers, lighting crew, publicity workers and ushers. A special effect was achieved by using stage footlights. These gave the illusion of being lighted candles. They turned out better than I thought , stat- ed John Moes, chairperson of the light crew. Straight seams, gathering and pinning waist bands all became part of the costume makers dai- ly routine in making of the women's costumes. All of the men's costumes had to be rented for the play. I was work- ing up to the last minute , said Deanna fDel Berg. This play also brought a new talent into the limelight, Mr. Mike Simacek technical direc- tor.
