Industrial Arts, as are most of the Unified Arts courses, were conducted on two levels. Junior High classes were taught for both boys and girls who spent nine weeks in the shop. The girls grew closer to mechanical understanding in their unit on the history of power, while the boys worked for practical ability in the fields of woodworking and plastics. For the Senior High boys there was more time for individualized projects such as boats, amplifiers, hi-fi cabinets, and the omnipresent automobile. Dr. Robert Randleman devoted his after-hours to the publication of the Bard. Unified Arts A student's shop project was discussed by Mr. Orville Nelson and Mr. Ralph Schulz. 14 Homemaking classes were instructed by two different teachers during the course of the year. Mrs. Rebecca Walch, veteran U High Home Economist, departed during Spring Quarter for the purpose of concentrating on her own increasing unit in family living. Mrs. Marcene Eshelman, new to U High, but recently active in Ethiopian education, entered the department to carry on with the Homemaking picture. This year more time was spent in the Senior High units on organization of time, money, and energy. In addition to the Senior High classes, there were classes for both the seventh and eighth grades.
