Industrial Arts Wi thstand Levy Failure Financial cuts whittled away at the in- dustrial arts department. The staff for the department plummeted from six teachers to three. At the same time, almost all courses were cut back. Architectural Drawing, Woodshop and Drafting were all cut back, while photography was cancelled all together. The demand for the classes have not diminished, according to Mr. Delmonte. All of my classes were full soon after the first day of walk-around, he said. Even though there was a demand, the future did not look any better. The depart- ment was very expensive to run. Our equipment costs much more than text- books, said Mr. Delmonte. As with the monks, time seemed to gnaw away at even the good things. , -T N Qxppbm wltlwj 7 X ! Oxy!! Y I A 01 z 'Il 5 J! o S I!! ff ,fbias - f WN 'X ' oo NK 'gf . I, , - 'Q-,QNX W T In -mile: -X.

Traffic Safety Succum bs to Inflation mraffic safety all but succumbed to the blows of inflation. The class cost only 525.00 last year, but this year the price soared to S110.00. The cost ravaged the class size, lowering enrollment from 150 students to only 60. Only one and one half teachers were needed to teach the course, compared to the four that were needed in past years. Of course there will always be a demand for Traffic Safety, but the question is, who will be able to take the class?

It began last school year as an in-school suspension for students. Students were placed in the alternative room for various reasons including discipline, truancy, smoking, and repeated violations of school rules. Accor- ding to Mr. Hollister Gee, the vice- principal, the alternative program clears up student problems. It serves the same purpose as a suspension exce t that it keeps students at school, thereby remov- ing the rewards of being home and keep- ing students current with their class. Once in the alternative room, students spend one hour a day working on specially designed lessons by the In-School Suspension instructor. They spend the re- mainder of the day working on assignments from their regular classrooms. Contrary to popular belief, the alter- native room is not only for those students who have violated school rules. Students can, after committee approval, be placed in the alternative room for academic im- provement to improve study habits and in crease concentration. 1. Mr. Norman Lawrence 2.
