Art Department Versch breaks out of ‘stereotype’ Sports, photography and play- ing the mandalin are among the unique hobbies of art teacher, Mr. Jim Versch, who is in his first year at MHS. A graduate from the University of Nebraska, husky Versch feels he is, Breaking the stereotype of a frail art teacher. With his specialty in Commer- cial Graphic Design, Versch's dream is to be a famous artist ten years from now. When asked what his goals were for the art department Versch replied, “More appreciation of fine arts and make art as important at MHS as the music department is.” Coming from a metropolitan area in Nebraska to a rural area in Marion County, Versch found the lack of social activities the biggest change.

Some students took these skills and pursued a profession while others simply applied them to their every day lives. In the four Auto Mechanics classes, students learned different phases of auto repair. For exam- ple. General Car Maintenance students learned how to change oil and tires. Also, in Small Engines, people were given a chance to overhaul engines and learned how to use measuring instruments. As with Auto Mechanics. Wood Shop taught the basics of wood- working. In Wood I. students were expected to learn how to use hand tools and power tools properly and safely. They also learned how to figure board-foot problems and how to identify different joints and types of woods.
