Putting it back together Everybody knows that commons can get a little rough sometimes, and in the process a chair could be broken. The damaged chair seems to disappear magically and then reappears later. But where did it go, and how did it get fixed? Unless the chair is completely wrecked and goes into the trash, it generally ends up in the machine shop, where students weld it back together and tote it back to commons. However, that's not all the juniors and seniors in machine shop do. They also do maintenance work for the school and repair machines for the com- munity. Paperwork is also involved in the class. A student must have taken trigo- nometry to be in the class, according to Mr. Kay Dauterman, a shop teacher, because the math knowledge is applied as he works with the machines. The machine shop students seemed to agree that they liked working in the shop. l took machine shop because it's a good profession to go into, and l like to learn, said junior Steve Yeager, one of the 18 persons in the class. What they learn can be applied directly to a job. Most students get jobs immediately after high school. Usually it is in a machine shop or attending a tool crib, or as a tool and dye maker. A few continue on to college, and some two-year colleges offer an associate degree with a major on machine shop. Thanks to the machine shop, many broken things in the school get fixed, and there are still usable chairs in commons. If Z , Q rf? gif, fy 1 Working with a drill is junior Grant Temple.

Flying sparks is the result of the grinder Mr. Kay Dauterman is working on. Smash! Step right up, ladies and gents! Come smash our car! That's right, smash our car! 50 cents a hit, and S1 .50 to smash in a window. Step right up . . . Last fall, the electronics club spon- sored an unusual event- a car smash. Someone just came up with the idea at a fund-raisers meeting, said senior Mark Reading. But where in the world would some- one be willing to donate a car to be smashed? Well, the club got the car from Bob's Auto parts on Sylvania Avenue. It had to be hauled to the parking lot, because it didn't work anyway.. There was a large tu rnoutfor the event, and electronic students raised more than 550. After the smash was over, however, there was the slight problem of what to do with a totaled car. They decided to take it back to Bob's. Maybe they can do something with it, Reading said. ts.. i Q lunior Greg Sielaff was one of the many students who turned out for the car smash. C
