Feelings of Achievement by Sandy Berndsen As most students assembled into regular education classes, other pupils were interest- ed in learning a more advanced skill. The Regional Occupational Program, commonly called ROP, provided students with a way of working and participating with others in a job-related atmosphere. ROP has helped me to get along with others in a new and satisfying way, stated Matthew Hall. Mrs. Gemmill also commented on ROP Restau- rant by saying, It is great on-the-job exper- ience which benefits the faculty as well as the students. Whether it was O period, during lunch, or after school, the students and teachers alike had to take out extra time for these classes. It was the extra effort that made the class more interesting and fun. This extra time for both the students and faculty gave them a feeling of a job well done. I enjoy repairing in ROP Building because it gives me a feeling of satisfaction, stated Rob Laf- ever. Accomplishing the various types of jobs also made students feel unique. Rick Micheri concluded by saying Being unique comes into play when you complete the course and enter into the many opportunities offered in these ROP fields.

Strolling by the students, while working on their important projects, one could feel the intensity of their crafts- manship. Questioning their teacher, Mr. Carr about new and exciting things in ceramics this year and he replied, UNO, but ceramics are being used world wide for things such as the tiles in the Space Shuttlef' In Jewelry and Crafts classes a new sand- blasting machine was installed. This helped to smooth out the finishing touches. Next year crafts will be changed to be called De- sign and Mixed Media which shall also be rewritten to meet the visual and performing arts requirement. Larry Bouligny comment- ed about Jewelry by saying, If I had not taken Jewelry I would'nt have any to wear. Across the quad and over to H-1, one could notice the Artist of the Day' painting. This was a new edition to the art department which gets the paintings and painters no- ticed. Dacia Cooper remarked that, Art is a way of release both positive and negative. The Fine arts department this year, held both qualities of creativeness and participation to work productively with their hands. Industrial Arts by Danielle Pagnini As sparks fly off in different directions, you can hear metal being cut as well as the teach- er instructing the students. These are some sounds one might hear in any of Poway High's Industrial Art classes. In these classes students not only learn things mentally but also physically. With their hands they constructed and fixed things to the best of their ability. With the addition of computers in almost all of the classes stu- dents learned a more modern approach to such classes, which included auto shop, met- al, wood, and drafting. As Mr. Roybal com- mented, All of the Industrial Art classes are trying to move into the twentieth centuryf' Some students such as Steve Kerr took small engines to become more mechanically inclined. For others such as Keith Opstad who took drafting were more interested in a future occupation. But as Bruce Phillips sums it up, the best thing was that it was a break between academic classesf' In all of these Industrial Art classes you could see a sense of involvement. Whether through interest or just plain wanting to learn, these classes taught the basics for fur- ther development in the future. D. Wood, T. Roybal, R. Gardner, T. Holland, C. Hawkins. lNot pic - A.
