CURRICULUM SHOP Beneficial bussing Nine weeks course introduces eighth graders to shop Adding another class to his schedule, Mr. Mike Felder taught basic funda- mentals of the shop to the eighth grade students. The class was nine weeks long and introduced the junior high kids to the shop. They were bussed over from the junior high every day. Felder felt it was a good idea because it gave the pupils more skills. Mr. Howard Ziegler from Busy Craftsman. Junior Darrin Welch grinds a piece of metal so that he can finish his project.
