DECEITFUL Industrial arts turns out more than meets the eye Shop. The word most people used to refer to the industrial arts classes taught by Mr. Wil- liam Gant. There is more to it than just shop . Some of the classes offered in the industrial arts department include woodworking, eighth grade crafts, general shop, and draft- ing. Industrial arts was more than just hammering, sawing, and welding. Much more went on behind the scenes in these classes. It seemed that nobody considers the safety precautions or learning the correct techni- ques to using the tools and ma- chines. ..at first. The students began their classes by learning the basics from watching a variety of movies dealing with the proper ways to use the machines and learning the many safety proce- dures and precautions. After they learned how to operate and use the machines and tools they selected various projects to make from such materials as wood or metal. One special thing that the general shop classes did was to make toy buses for the kinder- garteners to give to them during the holiday season. Students have various reasons for taking an industrial arts class. Senior, Stacy Sledd, took in- dustrial arts to learn to work with the machines. Dawn Mallonee, sophomore, commented, I took general shop to learn to build stuff with my hands and to learn how to use certain tools. J - 4 1 V |J ' V- TB 1. V taEr ? I9 g W M .

Whether it ' s a bachelor pad on San Francisco ' s Hyde Street, a ranch in Scottsdale, a room in a com- mune of back-to-nature thinkers, a home in Connecticut or a reconverted barn, it ' s a home. Home to someone. And that someone is a homemaker. Sooner or later everyone is a homemaker and needs the skills of suc- cessfully managing his or her like. Homemaking is more than cooking and sewing. It is learning how to establish goals within a family and achieve them, how to create a happy home. Traditionally, the homemaker ' s role has been thought of as the woman ' s role, in fact, the stereotype of the woinan tied to her apron strings and slaving over a hot stove all day has been with us far too long. That ' s changing, now. Slowly to be sure, but changing for the better. More and more family members are assuming their equal responsibilites as homemakers. Sharing in the home work, in the care and guidance of children, in the establishment of values in the home. And even where there is just a single person involved, there is still the need for a homemaker ' s skills. It ' s one thing in life everyone needs to know. How to manage your future.

Shawn Blake, Jsrry Stoner, Damn Cline and Dawn Mallonee make a great team as ttiey wofl together in industrial arts. Photo by Dustin Lear Shawn Blake, sophomore, gets a new outlook on Industrial arts. Photo by Dustin Lear Gant explains How would one define the many clas- ses that make up industrial arts at WHS? Many wouldn ' t be able to. Mr. Gant, industrial arts instructor, gave the following definitions for each: Pre-vocational industrial arts: study of the technology and the socio-economic contributions of industries concerned with the creation of durable consumer products. Woodworking: information and skills concerned with woods, including various manufactured products, the technology employed in the manufacture and con- struction of products using woods, and related factors such as occupations, economics, and consumer information. Eighth grade crafts: information and skills concerned with hand crafts and the craft industry, including the tools, materials, processes, projects, and oc- cupations of the industry. General shop: study of two or more separate and somewhat distinct aspects of industry and technology. Drafting: information and skills con- cerned with conveying ideas or illustrat- ing graphically through drawings, charts, sketches, maps, and graphs. 83
