Top 15 compete in Springfield What could a person in- terested in the fast world of technology do to get more hands on experience? He could join T8cl Club, a club where members learned about industrial relations and worked with electron- ics. Students that were part of TSI leamed more about vo- cational electronics and how to improve in this area of technology. I got to work with electronics while l also leamed how a club should work, said Matt Pi- lawski, junior. The group participated in the Homecoming Parade, sold candy for fundraising, and contributed time to the concession stand at foot- ball and basketball games. Some of the top fifteen students who went to Springfield in the spring for competition were Jack Hoff- man, small engines: Tim Sander, commercial pho- tographyp Mike Klamecki, Mike Craig, and Kyle Hel- son, electrical trades: and Comelius Wright, industrial electronics. The Springfield confer- ence was a lot of fun. Every- one that went said it was a great experience, said Tim. Students were busy work- ing in their electronic labs and participating in club ac- tivities, as T81 Club mem- bers took time to have fun along with their leaming. TBC! Club 99

ork schedule lengthens da Having seven classes seemed like a heavy load to some students. Diversified Occupation students car- ried four or five classes but then added hours of work to that schedule as they gained knowledge in the mechanical or medical fields. ln the DO program stu- dents had hands-on exper- ience in an occupation that they would like to pursue. Leslie Cook worked at Resthaven South Nursing Home to leam about be- coming a nurse's aide while Scott Hogroe repaired cars at Riverdale Auto Body. I liked being in DO because it gave me a chance to eam money and learn more about what l want to do, said Klinton Banther, who worked at J.C. Auto Electric Ltd. For their hard work they were given class credit and at least a minimum wage. I liked working at Windmill Pavillion Nursing Home. lt gave me experience and a salary too, said Kim Ben- nett, senior. When Thomton closed its program, the class was ex- panded as Thomton stu- dents were added. l'The kids from Thornton were bused over here for first pe- riod, said Mr. Don Bauc, sponsor. DO allowed a person to further his knowledge of the career field that he was in- terested in.
