SHOPS: Despite the desperate exactness, picky formalities, and ever present safety rules, many students elected to work with their hands not their gums, said woodshopfauto tune-up teacher Clarence Brown. These joined the woodshop, metal shop, auto tune- up, and drafting classes. Shop students, unlike students in almost any class, really would rather work than talk. lt's fun was all sophomore Scott Curl had to say while starting one of his assignments, a welding project. They come here on their own free will and tend to keep it in mind, said metal shopfauto tune-up teacher Charles Cheek. Auto tune-up is a popular class for popular reasons. You save money and know it's fcarmaintenancej done right, states Cheek. Second-year metal shop student junior Brian Jilek combined tree will and practicality to put a sun roof in his car, in what he described as a simple operation. I try to be flexible with the students, added Cheek. Picky formalities and exactness are the substance of drafting courses, but senior Darryl Showers feels, lt's a good course if you want to be an architect. 1 8 I Shops 'Many work with hands, not gums' to design, draft, construct projects With over 26 years of technical drawing, drafting teacher Max Mc- Clearin has developed a reputation for demanding perfection of his students. This is a good school for drafting, emphasized McClearin. The fact that RHS Industrial Arts students are con- sistent winners at state competitions every year supports his comment. We do very well with what we have, but not enough people want to do it, frowns McClearin. - Tim McDougall E IH - Q s.- Junior John Patterson works on an assignment about isometric designs in drafting.
