students troin tor production ond teomwork Ag and shop students had a varied program de pending upon their course of study ranging from basic wood and metal projects to more advanced welding and construction. Not only did they construct for their own use, but a great deal of equipment was made for the ag shop. Class study involved animal husbandry care, woodworking, welding, record keeping, live- stock judging, field crops identification, study of farm chemicals, overhauling and repair of engines, farm management study in which they planned a 160 acre farm. lt was a busy year that reaped rewards when ll went to state contest. Cooperation is shown between John Amthor and Greg Groff. Everytime we entered the industrial arts area, we saw new projects and smelled fresh paint and varnish. Mr. Robert Welsch, instructor, taught the boys the careful use of power tools and instructed them in wood and leather projects. Many good looking and useful articles were constructed, such as tables, chests, gun racks, cutting boards. The mechanical drawing class learned to read blue prints and drew up scale plans of their own. A beneficial field trip to Kansas City was enjoyed when the class visited businesses pertaining to their class work. Right: Mr. Welsch and Steve Bertram discuss plans in a mechanical drawing class.
