Working . . . . 2' . x In Classes and Labs ocational programs started in the classroom. Before secretarial work, you had to learn to type. Before car- pentry, you needed fo learn the basics ot construction. VOE or ICT didn't teach these fundamentals. If was typing and woodworking that got people started. Mr. Ftussells woodworking classes were divided into two levels. The first instructed students in the basics of woodworking and guided them through mandatory projects like birdhouses. On the second level, Dennis Frankum constructed a roll top desk, and worked on a potting table for his mother. A lot of stereo accessories popped up. Paul Segura made his own speaker boxes, Le Phung and Gerald Mueller made coffee and sculptor tables tor their homes, Mr, Russell also taught an Auto Systems class. These stu- dents concentrated mainly on engine systems. Most of the labor was in the form of tune-ups. Mrs. Quinius taught one of the most valuable classes you could take. Typing was a skill that was useful in high school, college, and even more so when looking for a job. Being able to type could mean the difference between two- thirty and three-twenty an hour paychecks. ln UIL competition, William Bacon and Cheryl Selby typed two five minute writings. Kim Armstrong also competed, and Laura Johnson placed second in shorthand. Mr. McCarty's drafting students got the opportunity to design their own architectural and engineering models. Donald Dyess from Advanced Machine Drafting designed his own plans for a one cylinder engine. Robert Luter of Advanced Architecture, build a model of a school, and went to regional and state contests. Janice Thomas, Charlotte Scottino, Pam Johnson, and Denita Simpson of Mrs. Perry's Food and Nutrition class took four white rats, put two on a well balanced diet, and the other on a junk-food diet, and actu- ally saw the difference that a diet can make. Several students from Mr. Jay's Metalworking classes qualified for State Competition. Brett Mann made his way with an engine stand, while Dean Stewart constructed a small barbecue pit from a beer keg. Dan Fuessel qualified with a metal sculpture of a cowboy roping a steer. Vocational classes prepared us for the established vocational program, coops, and outside jobs. Metal working, Food and Nutri- tion, and typing paved the way to valuable trades. vocational classes 105
