Industrial Arts Industrial Arts had a variety of dif- ferent courses varying from fiber- glass to woodwork. Students could choose from things they wanted to make, but had to meet basic require- ments for class. Ninth grade had a planned guideline which had to be complete before they could attempt to work on their own. Students found extra time to work on their projects during their free time and schedule-back time. Foundry, which is the process of heating metal then pouring it into a mold, was started this year. The Industrial Arts department be- lieved that students had more time to devote to working on their pro- jects duringtheir free time. GN li .eww if F 'Q MR.

Agriculture Department Gets Greenhouse Forestry, farm mechanics, horticul- ture and agricultural supply were courses offered in advanced agricul- ture classes. Students could also learn valuable practical skills After two years of pushing for a greenhouse the agriculture depart- ment finally received it. The green- house was first used to begin prepar- ations for spring planting. Forty acres of land was set aside at the FCI lFederal Correctional Insti- tutionl for the agriculture depart- ments at Rickards, Leon, and Godby. The land was to be used for a miniature farm with approximately four major heifers, and three or four dairy cows. Agriculture l and ll used the land provided to learn how to plow with a tractor rather than using the small plot on the Rickards campus. lf ?-1+ I- 'lf-.F 1--1 , -, .M 'J' sf ' '- .
