Industrial Arts - Vocational Education . . . The addition of a new facility and the development of courses in building trades and recreational and service vehicle mechanics has greatly expanded the vocational education program offered to the students at Kingswood Regional High School. These new offerings, in conjunction with the existing business education program, provide the student an opportunity to enjoy actual work experiences during their high school careers. This experience can lead to a productive and rewarding commitment to society in today's world of work. The industrial arts program continues to systematically expand its offerings to provide learning experiences that will orient the student toward the technological resources available to him and thereby contribute to a freer human mind for greater creativity and individ- ual dignity. tfsppu . ..LL L..t ,, ,, .- -Q-k 4 J- -A J ii ii 5 . 5 I ' ' KJ 1, Mr. William Findlen Mr. Frank Tupper Mr. John Caneen if rst John Markowitz Mr. John Aron Mr. Carl Contois E

Essen- tially, the new approach centers around the mini-course set up. A given stu- dent must pass four of the eight offered mini-courses in order to receive one credit for general math. A durable feature of this new program is that it allows students an opportunity to get a fresh start every nine weeks.
