'PEW-W . ids I 's I-I V ,a ,VQWGA The Department of Industrial Edu- cation has not only expanded its facilities but also its curriculum emphasis. Included in the depart- ment are vocational training classes, industrial arts classes and general exploratory shop classes. Perhaps the most important con- cern of the department is job train- ing. Boys enrolled in industrial edu- cation classes are more employable which is important in highly com- petitive industry. Area school vocational arts instruc- tors find the Penn program worthy of emulation. Department chairman Mr. C. A. Needler is assisted by in- structors Benning, Behrens, Haines, Nifong, O'Connor, Parker, Portolese, and Wlolfe. Course offerings include Trade Machine Shop, Trade Draft- ing, 'Trade Wood Shop, and Trade Auto Shop. Auto Shop, Drafting, 1 Wood Shop, Electric Shop, VVelding, and Practical Arts complete the program.

Qp0fcf6 wv p'l06ll9f one Change typified the 1964-'65 school year for Penn athletes. It was a year that saw the appointment of an athletic director and a trainer and new coaches in several sports. It was a year that brought about the usual number of thrills, but more than that it was a year of dedication and effort by the athletes themselves. The young football squad, playing un- der an equally youthful mentor, proved many skep- tics wrong and compiled a winning season. The hardcourters, plagued with inexperience and a lack of height, compiled an impressive record. The wres- tling squad, heartened by a record turnout, re- sponded with one of the finest records in its history. The swimmers, also under a new coach, were en- couraged by having a state champion on the team, just as the track team was inspired with a strong leader in the fastest athlete ever to wear the red and white Penn track shoes. It was truly a year of con- spicuous profiles.
