Drafting Attracts Creative Students Drafting is said to be the language of industry. As a means of communi- cating ideas and details, it is second only in importance to our native lan- guage. Good eye sight and perception of size are two important qualities needed for a student interested in the extensive field of Drafting. Led by Mr. Linares, Mr. Freijomel and Mr. Kanaska, students are instructed in drawing details and plans for homes and small com- mercial buildings. With an unlimited demand for draftsmen, this shop may be very reward- ing to those who spend their time construc- tively. After completing three years of Draft- ing, the beginning draftsman may enter into jobs ranging from architectural and mechani- cal draftmen to blue print readers, with addi- tional training. This year, the students revised Building P to be a testing and evaluation cen- ter. They also went on tours of various con- struction sites. Vocational Drafting 45

CBE Students Place in District Learning to dca] with your responsibilities as an employee, building leadership qualities, and discovering the advantages of working together are just a few of the goals stressed in Cooperative Business Education. CBE students meet zero hour, 6:30 to 7:30, each day with Mrs. Margaret Green, Business Education Instructor. At this time they are given the opportunity to polish up their typ- ing and shorthand skills, discuss issues that take place on the job, and work together on an assortment of student service projects. Their in-school projects and activities include an employee -employer banquet, the District Four FBLA District Contest, in which the chapter exhibit placed second, a CBE-DCT picnic, and of course, their monthly early-bird breakfast. CBE also works in conjunction with the DCT-SIE program running the Supply Shack — TBT ' s stu- dent operated book store.
