Industrial Arts Introduction of new ideas and practices has marked this second year of operation for the Ke- coughtan Industrial Arts program. Mr. Harvey Grady has initiated welding and shop theory into his classes and introduced new equipment into the shops. The collection of books and magazines for a library for shop students has been one of his key projects for this year. The drafting stu- dents, under the instruction of Mr. Claude White, become skilled for positions in the architectural and engineering fields. Mr. David Rogers teaches the students the art of wood craftsmanship. Drafting, wood, and metal shops are the three components of the Industrial Arts program. Mr. Mike Riddick is the chairman of the department. Shop students become quite proficient and skilled and produce such items as tables, tools, and car parts. The pride in personal workmanship and quality that is developed through these courses is not soon forgotten or abandoned. Mr. Claude D. White B.S., East Carolina College Drafting Mr. Mike G.
