Drawn to autos Underneath bondo buckets and half dead cars, amidst clanging wrenches and whirring pneumatic tools, RHS students enjoyed their Auto Repair dosses. In the Auto Body classes students could fix crinkled fenders ond crunched rear ends. The biggest problem is trying to fit in all the cars,” stated Brian (B.B.) Johnson. At presstime, some auto body students were trying to restore o 1962 Triumph Spitfire, which looked to be a two-year project. In the Auto Mechanics classes, students learned how to fix their vehicles under the tutelage of James Moody and William Elmquist. “The biggest problem is the difficulty students were having trying to schedule a two hour block ’ said Moody. Another big problem was a non-operating 81’ Buick Regal. The students had to keep pushing it in and out of the shop. Even teachers brought their cars into the shop for fixing. If any problems arose, the experienced instructors came to the rescue. Top: Sender 4ms it pb w feeder lot khn Ccrpenttt Top loft: MmI protects Pot Bo r's eyes Bottom: Soodmg down the fender.
