Lifetime career Industrial arts courses provide job preparation tor students “I enjoy welding, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s challenging for me,” Kelly Cook said. A senior enrolled in welding classes, Cook continued, “It’s possible I will make welding my job, but I’m not sure yet. I prob- ably will continue welding in trade school, however.” Cook explained, I like the way the class is instructed because we get to work at our own pace. We follow state regulations and do all welding that the state requires. Mr. (Ernie) Dunckhorst, our instructor, is a good teacher and makes sure that things get done right, he said. Cook con- tinued, The welding depart- ment at Salida High School is pretty good, but I would like to see some lathes and more weld- ing equipment. Cook said the welding he enjoys most is “Oxyacetylene, but I also enjoy the MIG or heli- arc welding.” He explained that oxyacetyl- ene welding is done with tanks for oxygen and acetylene. The senior continued, I also know how to stick weld vertical, overhead and flat. With the stick weld, we use electric welding machines.” Cook said, “I had to take a welding class in the eighth grade and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been taking welding classes throughout high school.” He concluded, “I don’t know where I will work when I get out of school, but I would like to work around this area.” A student in the class com- mented, “Kelly is one heck of a welder and should do very well if he goes into weldig as a career.” Experience as well as learning is an important part of Industrial Arts, according to vocational head.
