Pe lndu trial rt ., Car-tunes Few people knew it existed, but down near the very back of the school was a simulated car repair garage. It was there that students took their Auto Mechanics class. 'kYou can't be afraid to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty, revealed one stu- dent. Many students who took the class stat- ed that they liked the fact that the class was more comfortable than their other classes be- cause they didn't have to sit in desks time. The old malfunctioning cars that the stu- dents got to work on were donated or sold to the school for that very purpose. Once the cars were given to the school, the students were trained how to rebuild engines, fix brakes, replace tires, and change their oil. The class was considered a success by many who took it, and as one student put it - ul know what to do if I'm stuck on the highway!

Thus began a year of Photogra- phy which taught students how to develop their film, make their own proof sheets, and enlarge their own prints. 'iPortrait taking is my favorite assign- ment,', said one student. It was a popular assignment because it gave students an op- portunity to make their favorite person the subject of their photos. Students also learned techniques in pic- ture-toning, camera-loading, and how to cor- rect faulty pictures of mistakes. The most impressive aspect of the class, however, was its teacher, Mr. Shaffroth. By having the students address him as Ed, he quickly established an individualized relation- ship with each of his students. The atmo- sphere in his room was constantly relaxed, Ed Shaffroth counsels Dennis Roberts and other students on how to achieve and shoot the best possible pictures. is at it easy going and friendly.
