The intense concentration required of a draftsman is reflected in Don Mohlman s Electronics may be a mystery to most persons, face as he painstakingly puts his ideas on paper. but for students like Roy Pester, working with electric gizmos is an everyday occurrence. Through long hours of work and study in the auto mechanics shop, Jim Hennessey, Harold Hetherington, and Russ Kenaston have famil- iarized themselves with the most minute details of this engine. Working as a team, they will find any bugs in a jiffy. 25

Industrial Arts Is Broad View; Trades Is Specialization The Industrial Arts Department offers a variety of opportunities to the Lincoln High boy with me- chanical aptitude. The department offers courses in industrial arts to familiarize the student with various fields. Courses in trades preparatory are then made available to the boy who wishes training in a specific vocational area. This year a new block system of courses was offered to the sophomore. Under this system a boy studied three different areas of industrial arts for a period of nine weeks each. For the final nine weeks of the year he continued studying in the particular area of his choice. The Trades Preparatory Curriculum offers an outstanding selection of courses in the areas of carpentry, drafting, electronics, mechanics, and printing. Training in any one of these fields well prepares a boy for his future occupation.

Student Toward Safety Lyle Weyand Department Chairman Concessions Max Lien Andy Loehr Auditorium Events Varsity Football Coach Reserve Wrestling Coach Donovan Luedke Richard Terry Auditorium Events Special Assignment Coordinator-SCTS Athletics Driver Education Steers With more and more teenage drivers on the roads, a sound driver education program is a must in any school. Lincoln High has met this require- ment by offering the student a full-time staff of Driver Education instructors and by making the most modern of training equipment available. Under the program, the student spends part of his time in the classroom and part behind the wheel. Driver Education cars are equipped with safety brakes for the instructor and timing de- vices that test the student’s reaction time and stopping distance. A new device was added this year, the jerkometer,” which tests the smoothness of the student’s starts and stops. Auto simulators give the inexperienced pupil a chance to familiarize himself with the fine points of safe driving under ideal conditions. Numerous films are provided and the student is urged to do optional research in traffic laws and enforcement, and in the field of car insurance. Sara Luedke demonstrates the use of a floor shift on one of the school's automobile simulators. 26
