All of this aid- ed the students to grasp a better understanding of industry and in- dustrial processes. Throughout the year the classes constructed several fur- niture items for the school which consisted mainly of bookshelves used in various classes through- out the school. However, one of the constructions was a mass- production exercise in which the students built wooden toys. They made about 300 toys cars, trains, and helicopters. These items were sold to other students and teachers during all lunch periods. All 300 were sold in one day. This exemplified just how talented the students enrolled in the Industrial Arts program really were. .:s...., -X -Hmm-la' R4 was S. 4Freshman Frank Compean careful ly cuts a large piece of wood to start his project.
