Arts f Iiv ts: 7,81 Wood I, II' Us: , The Industrial Arts Department is separated into two divisions, the wood shop and the metal shop. Courses are open to both boys and girls in grades seven through twelve. Seventh and Eighth grade shop was taught in an ex- ploratory fashion. They covered a broad area during a se- mester without going into depth on any one topic. The class was a sample to be followed up with more advanced courses in future years. Seventh grade students studied wood and drawing while eighth grade students studied electricity and metals. Wood I and II are twenty week courses open to grades nine through twelve. Students in Wood I are involved in fur- niture construction, lathe work, laminating, and veneering. Wood II deals with model house construction, repair work, electrical wiring, and work with machines involved in car- pentry. These students may also elect to study in the metal shop. Basic metals is a course which includes work with sheet metal, welding, metal lathe, and small engine repair. Advanced metal students learn to operate more advanced machinery and also study auto mechanics and auto body re- pair. Additional courses in the department include architec- tural drawing, and technical drawing. Architectural drawing deals with landscaping, maps, and blueprints. Students learn to design houses, and commercial buildings. Technical draw- ing is a two-phase course: technical drawing I and II. Stu- dents are introduced to all types of drawing including multi- view projection, pictorial, surveying, and electrical.

Many of the courses were con- A' densed into half-year programs to provide more variety, and to stimulate interest. Mrs. Theresa Muskoffjoined the faculty, this year, as a 'Next time d0H'f SGW UP the armhole- part-time teacher. She taught the basics of cooking, sewing, and good grooming on the Junior High level. Special projects included Christmas and Thanksgiving handicrafts, and child- care babysitting. Foods and Nutrition, which was formerly available for girls in grades nine through twelve, also became a refuge for hungry boys during the second semester. The boys learned the the essentials in cooking and caring for themselves. They were often heard referring to the class as a bachelor's course for survival or making it on your own. Clothing and textiles consisted of two separate courses again this year, both taught by Mrs. Grace Leanen. Course IIA was basic clothing. Girls learned about patterns, mater- ials. and operating sewing machines. Course IIB consisted mainly of individual projects which gave the girls an oppor- tunity to use the knowledge gained from Course IIA.

P ysical Education A new program was initiated for se- niors this year to coordinate with their new scheduling program. The school year was divided into six Physical Ed- ucation units, each unit covering a span of six-weeks. Seniors were re- quired to complete five units of 12 hours per unit, for a total of sixty hours. Many different programs were offered in each unit. These included: camping, snowmobiling, volleyball, golf, tennis, bicycle riding, skiing, swimming, and horseback riding. Se- niors fulfilled their Physical Education requirements in their spare time, after B.S., SUNY at Brockport. Girls Phys. Ed. 7-12. AD- VISES-G.A.A, COACHES-Girls Soccer, Basketball.

Those who didnlt desire to participate in this new program were scheduled for a tradi- tional Physical Education class during school time. LeRoy was one of the first schools in this area to attempt this type of Physical Education Curric- ulum. It was organized mainly through the efforts of Mr. Santini, Miss Eaton, and Mr. Jay. Many new co-educational programs were introduced into the traditional physical education curriculum. Classes were combined to instruct students in the basics of golf, tennis, and archery.
