Vocational Lithography New To Industrial Arts Offerings OFFERED AS A vocational course for the first time this year, offset lithography was fully approved as a vocational education class in trades and industry. The teacher, Nlr. James E. Brown, and the class were accredited by the Colorado State Board of Education. Students taking this course first studied the history and principles of the different processes, and then put their knowledge to practical use. One process they learned was new to Wasson this year. It was two-color duo- tone, involving two screened pictures of different colors and same content printed on top of each other at a 15 degree angle. New for the auto shop was the ultimate in engine testing equipment, a Sun 10-20 engine analyzer. Also a complete Bear portable brake shop was purchased, bringing the cost of new equipment to S3,600. The graphic arts shop also received new equipment, including a strip printing machine, used for printing display types, and heat resistant rubber stamp type. Helping a drawing student, Mr. Boyer answers another question W orking on a new project for her lithography class, Carol Campbell operates darkroom photographic equipment.

Individual Sports Emphasized in Physical Education Dept. MORE EMPHASIS was placed this year on individual sports during the winter unit of the girls' physical education program, allowing the girls to select from various areas of interest, such as modern dance, gymnastics, and rhythms. Earlier in the year, field hockey and tennis were the main activities, and the spring unit presented archery and softball. Because more sophomores took swim, the advanced swim class was discontinued. The boys' gym classes continued to stress team activities, with emphasis placed on basketball, weight lifting, and gymnastics. An addition to the teaching staff of the Physical Education Department this year was Miss Phyllis Jones, who was originally from Silver Spring, Maryland. Miss Jones previously taught in Wheaton, Maryland, before coming to Wasson. Jill Stegner demonstrates her arabesque on the balance beam.
