Marine Engine The students involved in Marine Engine this year par- ticipated in many activities outside the classroom. Organized by sponsor David Granberry, the students met once a month to plan fund raisers and to prepare for their contests during the year. In order to make money this year, the students used their mechanical skills for repairing boats and made a profit. With this money, Marine Engine was able to enter the area contest on February 17 and 18 and later the state contest on April 26. The highlight of the year fell in May when they par- ticipated in the Annual Bass Tournament. A productive year all-round, Marine Engine's students went beyond the classroom to prepare themselves for serving the community with their new skills. ess 'NN ix X Mark Drahem studies an engine.
