+ + Industrial Arts Teaches Skills Auto Mechanics and Wood Shop :aught students practical skills. 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. After com- pleting a required project, students were asked to make several of their own projects. Ad- vanced Wood students used their knowledge to make more advanced projects.
