ART The art classes have done many new and exciting things this year. Art I is designed to help the student develop skills in drawing, painting, and carving. Art II is primarily an advanced crafts course, while Art III stu- dents concentrate mainly on painting with oils. Several of the different classes have undertaken various projects throughout the year. They have displayed their drawings and paintings in the library and the corridors in order to enhance the beauty of these areas. Mr. Dennis Lambert, Art I, II, and III, prepares to test a kite made in one of his art classes. Mr. George Lancaster, Aerospace Industry, listens as one of his students asks a question on the different types of brakes. AEROSPACE The aerospace industry is a new course this year, and Hoggard is one of the two schools offering it. It is hoped in the future a student who has completed the course will be able to pass the written examination for his private pilot’s license. Aerospace industry is a general study of aviation and the operations of the airplane industry. It touches on the subjects of airplanes, engines, electronic gear, navigational facilities, air- ports, and military aviation.
