Auto Shop Club The UCHS Autoshop was the most utilized re- pair shop in the San Diego school system. Mr. Pat Scanlan, the instructor, felt that it should be used to the maximum, therefore, he invited his students to come in after school on their own each Wednesday to use the facilities. Stu- dents worked on their cars or helped restore a car that was a special project. It was deter- mined that at the end of the year a lucky stu- dent was to receive the project car through a drawing of names. i Matt Doyle listens to his finely tuned engine. Madelon Preston and Beth Ensch label the grounds for Auto Shop. Troy Polocus admires the finishing touches on his car. I Adam Griffin, hard at work.

I was very pleased to see so many students interested in the choir, stated Mr. John Gilliland, the choir ' s Director. The size of the class nearly doubled second semester . The students were taught fundamentals and sang a wide variety of music. He ' s a great teacher. He really knows what he ' s doing, commented choir member, Steve Multer. By selling M M candies, jewelry and mistletoe, they were able to finance their yearly activi- ties, such as the purchase of their uniforms. They held performances around the county which included a city festival, various perfor- mances within the community, and a Winter and Spring Concert. Wayne Fort, Steve Smith, Michelle Riley and Mary Welnrich perform during the Winter season. Mr. Gilliland directs choir practice. Students interpret musical phrasing.
