rt : Creativit he Art Department made educational history this year by constructing a new gas firing kiln, built entirely by the students and supervised by Mr. Charles Rash. The kiln is 25 cubic feet, downdraft and gas fired. The new kiln will fire pottery up to 2400 degrees fahrenheit. It stands in the courtyard adjacent to the art rooms. The department also received a pug mill to grind the clay, two potter's wheels and a printing press. A new art class was added to the art curriculum this year called art open-lab. lt is designed to give the students the opportunity to take art with more freedom of choice in selecting projects ranging from sculpture to weaving. , ,Way-I M lf?

Little do they know that out of the RHS shop come some of the most intricate proj- ects one could imagine. Jay Daniels, a senior in metal shop, made a fantastic lounging chair, and in the woodshop, Senior Jeff Magruder built a china cabinet over six feet tall. Individual projects aren't the only spectacles. Group accomplishments in RHS shops have attracted city-wide recognition. Approximately fifteen students from all areas of the school are working on the only high school weather satellite station in the country. The station is built and manned completely by students. They are also writing a manual on satellite station construc- tion in case another school decides to follow the RHS prece- dent. Industrial Education gives each person individual freedom. Those who take Industrial Ed. can shape their own talents into a highly rewarding class for their future benefit or maybe evenjust for fun. Industrial Education-51
