cquiring new skills Both the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Club and the Electronics Club were once again involved in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. Students from both of the clubs prepared notebooks and projects for the district and state competitions held in Houston and Fort Worth. They were judged on their skills and the accuracy of their work. Hildreth Deanne, the Electronics Club sponsor, taught students how to build various electronic instruments, such as power supplies, radios, and testers. The club's class project involved building a Heathkit Robot, which the juniors later programmed. Hero , as it was called, will be used in school functions and to create interest and attention for the mechanical skills classes in the future. Lewis Jackson, the Air Conditioning!Refrigeration club sponsor, taught his students to build and repair cooling units and otherelectricalappliances Included in these appliances were air conditioners, refrigerators, washers, and dryers. The cIub's goals were to give students technical training and to promote self satisfaction with their own work. The classes, during school, were designed to give students on-the-job training and a new career skill. he-M.-wmimpf 84 VICA Daryl Hassett works on his electronic profect Photo by Pascal Vllllger
