Industrial Arts Need a set of house plans, a pipeline engineer? How about a beautiful hand crafted maple dining room suite complete with China cabinet or a wrought iron patio set? These are just a few of the items designed and built by the Industrial Arts Department, under the guidance and lead- ership of their sponsors. Students excell in many areas in the Industrial Arts program. Power mechanics, woodshop, metal shop, and drafting all form the many facets open to an Industrial Art student. The student is trained to produce a product through fine workmanship and pride. chairperson for Industrial Arts Department Teachers Not Shown: Mr. Roger Seiders 212 Academics!Faculty
