Welders Show Cougar Pride Not many people realized how much the welding classes contributed to the school in the 1983-84 school year. Such projects included a blocking sled for the Football Team and an observation tower to film football practice and Baseball games. The classes finished the year by building Barbecue Pits and smoker pits but the main purpose of the class was to teach Pre-Industrial Training. The welders would go through numerous tests to perfect their scores which would assure a welding job after High School. 102 Organizations
