 A RIGHT ANGLE? Oh well, that’s what the book shows,” muses senior Steve Prescott as he arranges his T-square and begins his daily assignment in drafting. Drafting Students Make Daily Progress Approaching the industrial arts field from another angle, Ron Handke’s drafting classes were taught the principles of basic design and blueprint drawing. After the first few weeks of drill on angles and lines, attention was turned to the planning of foundation, beams, doorways, roofing and each detail which goes into house construction. By the end of the year, each student, armed with T-square, compass, triangle. India ink, and plenty of imagination, was required to prepare plans for his special “dream house.” Wood shop offered first hand observation of the processes of construction from the drawing of the first plans through the selection of appropriate material, cutting, sanding, assembling, and finally the last touches of varnish. READY FOR WORK, GREASY coveralls and all, Larry Childers, junior, busily leans over the lathe as he prepares his project for Loyd Wells’ Metal Shop II class.

 JUST A FRACTION of an inch more and this leg will be finished; then I'll be able to put it together and varnish it, thinks wood shop student Bruce Johnson as he hurries to complete his semester project —an end table for his mother. MR. RON HANDKE Drafting, Drivers Education MR. LOYD WELLS Wood Shop, Metal Shop Shop Stresses Hand Skills After a brief sprint through the open air, Myrtle Point students enrolled in industrial arts classes found themselves in the strange new world of “shop”- a world quite different from the usual classroom routine. Surrounded by stacks of lumber, sheet metal. and unfamiliar looking machines, students received training designed not only for those planning on industrial careers, but also for those interested in obtaining basic construction skills to be used for their own future enjoyment. With this fact in mind, Loyd Wells, shop instructor, allowed students an opportunity to spend much of their time on individual projects of their own choosing rather than in regular classroom instruction. Among the basic skills taught in metal shop were arc welding metal cutting,and drilling. Students were also expected to master an understanding of the workings of each piece of machinery used in class. 26
