. - Avid interest keeps electronics student Charlie Rohde experimenting with testing equipment even between classes and during semester breaks. Technical Training Vital for lndustry Drafting, architectural design, and Elec- tronics prepare students for careers in tech- nology, and technical training needed to fill the present-day gaps in industry. All phases of drafting are covered by the drafting program which prepares students for jobs in the construction field. It provides training in interpretation of building codes, writing specifications, surveying and layout of buildings, cost of estimating, and super- vision of construction. Architectural design is a technology which translates ideas, specifications, and calcula- tions of engineers, architects, and designers into complete and accurate drawings for future homes. .K wtt- Patience and healthy back muscles seem to be prerequisites for the study of drafting, as drafting major Bruce Queton demonstrates.

Special Programs The automotive and aerospace programs soared into motion this spring. With the instructor flying a plane rebuilt by one of the classes, the aerospace program is off the ground. The aerospace program is designed to pre- pare the student for work in the field of aeronautios and aerospace. The two-year program will offer an applied science degree and will make the student eligible for a license by the Federal Aviation Agency. As a term project the advanced classes disassembled and rebuilt an airplane purchased by the school. Upon completion, the two-place train- er, an Aeronca Champion is to be flown by instructor Homer Smith. Automotive mechanics, a two-year voca- tional program, provides the necessary train- ing for management opportunities as well as developing basic skills. Students spend class time working on engines donated to the school. Mechanical skills are further developed by repairing the personal cars of students, fac- ulty, and the administration. Get Off to Flying Start Chris Coldwell checks to see that all tools are in order in the tool crib. Discipline in replacing tools in their proper places is emphasized in the auto me- , ,l V L gw' 1' .X x h ., , , chanics courses. Homer Smith, chairman of the aero- space department, will act as test pilot for the students' homemade aircraft.
