514111 Center A Place to Grow Far from the halls of Powers an interesting scene occurs each week- day. Several students go enthusias- tically to the Genesee Area Skill Center where they get a chance to grow in the field of their choice. Experience is the main obiective - geared toward success in the future. Potential nurses, mechanics, architects, and aviation engineers receive their training here for a later career. Skill Center provides the maturing stage for talent and expertise. We see that Powers' stu- dents are taking full advantage of this place to grow.

Wooden It Be Loverly Looking for a wardrobe closet? Or how about some handsomely finished tables and shelves? lf you open the door to Powers' Wood- shop Department, chances are fairly good that you've come to the right place. With the addition of John Miller to its staff, Powers' curriculum grew this year to include a woodshop class. The primary obiective of such a course is to give the student knowledge in wood finishing and the efficient operation of power and hand tools. Many have taken advantage of this new course. If you're serious about that table or shelving unit, pay a visit to the woodshop department. There, amidst the sawdust and radial arm saws, you may iust find what you've been looking for. Top: Denise Lorenc confers with Mr. Miller on whether to give up or keep on sawing. bottom left: Will it fit? All the guys are sure hoping it will because if it doesn't there goes a month's work. bottom right: The Beaver Brothers are working hard to complete their proiect before the expected due date. 44 Academics 'Z -P'

Sounds Of Music For the fourth straight year, Mr. Unger directed the instrumental music program at Powers to a first-class season. Although band is a class, the spirit, fun, and hard work make it more like an extracurricular activity. In Marching Band you concentrate on producing the lively halftime shows given during Powers' football victories. ln Concert and Symphonic Band you learn music theory and give the Christmas and T Spring Concerts. You also have the opportunity to l play in the pep band and the solo and ensemble festival. The Beginning Band students learn the basics of music while seeing what band is all about. Special events that highlighted the year included band camp at MSU, the Holland Tulip Festival, and playing in the school musical West Side Story. Mr. Brad Cwiklinski from Central Michi- gan University was an invaluable aid to Mr. Unger and the band in 1974.
