LEARNING THROUGH APPLICATION OF The project of this year’s Building Trade’s class was located just a few yards south of the house built last year, at the edge of Akron on County Road 1000. The energetic students did almost all the work by themselves, with the aid of those trained in con- struction. A large picture window, at- tractive doors, and a spacious garage gave the house the look of a job well done. Auto mechanics, in its second year at M.H.S., found itself bustling with eager students. Mr. Raison was kept busy aiding the guys in the areas of paint, welding, metal, and electrical short as they coincided in the auto- mechanical area. Under the direction of Mr. Peter- son, freshmen took Drafting and Woodworking I. The sophomores toyed in the metal and electrical shop, while junior and senior students worked in Woodworking II, Metal- working II, and Drafting II. The Building Trades Project-1971, almost completed, was praised by the community as the finest production to date.

SELF EXPRESSION STRESSED IN ART Weird-looking animals, mosaics, and paintings were just a few of the cre- ations made in art classes. Humiliating their classmates by trying to draw them, was also a feat undertaken by the classes. Perspective drawing was included in the fall and spring, giving art students a chance to draw in nature’s own setting. Sketchbooks extended the subject of art outside the classroom, as both beginning and advanced students were required to complete 12 sketches each six weeks. Beginning Art student, Brett Miner, draws in style as he tackles per- spective drawing in a Maxi to ward off the cold fall wind. Art students were given the chance to express their feelings to many things in many ways. Here, beginning art students Bob Francis, Ed Baker, Bill Hoover, and Paul Goshert draw planning sketches as Tim Harman, (center) puts the final touches on his construction expressing the emotion-anger. 24
