--- ---H OUTSTANDING SHGPS ARE INVOLVED WELD-O-RAIVIA FLAIVIING SUCCESS Over 300 persons representing industry leaders, parents of welding students, school officials and the general public were on hand February 25, at the Weld-O- Rama at Tampa Tech. TBT students brought out their tqrches while Mr. B. B. Moffitt explained their work. The audience looked on amazed by the skill of the students, as VICA members demonstrated shielded arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc weld- ing, oxygen acetylene welding, oxygen acetylene brazing, oxygen flame-machine cutting, oxygen acetylene hand cutting, arc air cutting, guided bend weldxtesting, weld tensile testing, dye penetrant weld check- ing and microscopic examination of welds. Metal sculptures designed and built by the students were also a feature of the show. The annual Weld-O-Rama is an event TBT students prepare for with pride and enthu- siasm. According to the April '73 issue of Welding Journal, lndustry's need for welders is being supplied at many trade schools and associations across the na- tion, but seldom with more enthusiasm than at Tampa Bay Vocational Center in Tampa, Florida. AREA VICA 1974 VICA, or Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, sponsors four contests throughout the year. This year four shops form TBT will be participating in the area contest. The winners of this competition will have the opportunity to go on to State, and maybe even the national and international competitions. COSMETOLOGY Cosmetology held a contest within its own club to determine which students would attend the area meet, March 23. Donna Rockhill took 1st. place, Becky Rocha, 2nd. Carmen Gonzolez 3rd, and Jane Whilly 4th. Last year one of TBT's students reached the National Contests in Cosmetology. This year we have a strong chance of moving to the Nationals again. 170 SH EET IVI ETAL Mr. Aparacio's sheet metal classes are the most recent participants in the VICA Pro- gram.
