Setting Your Goals Earl in Life Richard Craig worked diligently on his drafting. Agriculture and drafting are classes which experiment with hidden talents and many reach new occupations. Agriculture gives a new look to the future farmers of America. These classes have no real homework because so much work is done by each individual during class. The mind is constantly working to solve the problems which occur daily. We all like to be independent: however there are times in our lives when we need some helpful assistance. The instructors of agriculture and drafting are always around to lend a helping hand. These courses are very beneficial to the students of Shenandoah High School. The advanced drafting class did a unit in architectural drafting this year. Outstanding model homes built to scale were created by Eric Painter, Mike Harry, Steve Cross and Randy Fletcher. Several members of this class hope to study architecture in college. Paul Shaw, agriculture student, experiments by planting seeds in a hot bed.

' New Talents Shown in Industrial Arts Rick Best, left, and Ted White worked on many engines this year in Motor Mechanics. Duane Clark and Dave Bowers practice cutting with the acetylene torc . Industrial Arts are offered at Shenandoah in many forms. Welding helps many boys to learn skills, and Motor Mechanics is a great favorite for the boys. All of these classes prepare boys for an occupation outside of school. Many hours have been spent learning about the manufacturing of articles. The actual manufacturing does not take place in the rooms of Shenandoah, but the process of learning occurs. The classes prepare the students for future jobs in various industries. We live in a nation that is the world's industrial leader. This nation provides jobs for people who are skilled in machine usage and repairs. Drafting, Woodshop, Motor Mechanics and Welding were courses offered to help prepare students for their future.
