However, all that was seen in the class was a skeleton of a house and in- dividual nooks that looked like tele- phone booths. In actuality, the class entered was electrical trades and the bare home was used to teach wiring. As for the telephone booths, they were used for first year students of the class as a downscale of the house. ' I try to make the situation as close to the industry as possible. I think I ' ve accomplished a lot in that area, said Arthur Perez, instructor of Electrical Trades. The first nine weeks were spent in the classroom learning safety with elec- trical and regular tools and shop rules. Mr. Perez said, This class teaches skills and not just the basics. These classes have trained their stu- dents for the vocations of air con- ditioning, heating, ventilation, and re- frigeration and all fields of electrical trades.
