industrial arts INIew Teacher Innovates New Ideas for Shop Projects Eric Leegard was the new teacher of the shop classes. He had a lot of new ideas for projects that the students could do. To do these projects he needed more equipment which the school board granted him permission to get. Mr. Leegard’s main objective was to get students to take something and follow it all the way through rather than take a piece of wood and just hack away at it. Some of the shop classes had to do a little bit of drafting andothers had to do a lot. Shop I worked just about all year on drafting in order to get it right. Also in Shop I Reno Lucas built a safe. Shop II also worked quite a while in drafting. Like Shop I, Shop II had some active eager students who built a project of their own. Rex Lesher made a cartridge shelf; Garth Lucas designed a tool holder; and Tom McDonald made a drafting table and wooden airplane. In Shop III and IV the students rebuilt and painted shop equipment and shop tables. Mike Warrick made a stereo cabinet and cassette cartridge holder. Brad Allred and Albert Hytrek built a boat. Albert Hytrek built a stock rack for a pickup. Albert Shorb made boat stations on a lathe. In metal shop classes the students built metal fireplaces and barbecues. They also repaired miscellaneous motorcycle parts and miscellaneous broken things around the school. In this class Rick White rebuilt a trailer. In girls’ shop class Phyllis Christian made a jewelery box, a pair of mocca- sins, and refinished a chair. Laurie Allred refinished a chair, and also made a jewelery box and a pair of moccasins. 12, Industrial Arts
