Kochel www' ' UMW ' '1LL,7 A L 'MZ Although the man of today might think that electricity is nothing more than lightening and keys, in actuality great inventors have developed such instruments as the light bulb, electric clocks, and elec- tric trains. But the electronics field did not stop there. Under Mr. Plumley's guidance, the electronics classes provided a testing ground for America's future electronic geniuses. In addition to class lectures, both first and second year stu- dents gained much practical experience by repairin such objects as clocks, tape p ayers, toasters, televisions, and many other such appliances. In so doing, they used such devices as ohm meters, voltage regu- lators, signal generators, and oscillosco es. Thus, the first and second year electronics classes dem- onstrated the vast growth in the electronics fields from the days of Ben Franklin and the lightening and the key. ELECTRONICS 65

For many students, Mr. Frazier's first and second year shop classes provided basic training for future professions in industrial arts, for others, the class provided students with practical shop knowl- edge or everyday use. Both boys and girls attempt- ed projects in several of the industrial arts fields. In wood- working, they fashioned such objects as bookcases, jewel boxes and picnic tables for the school park. ln leatherwork, they made such items as wal- lets, moccasins, and belts. They also did work in metal and woodburning. Thus, the shop class offered more opportunities for stu- dents interested in the field of industrial arts, and allowed them to participate in various industrial activities. This was accomplished by the learn by doing process. Shop Develops Skills in lndustry .,,.-I' Working with shop students, Mr. Frazier shares his knowledge of the hand saw.

Swag.. ., F W. X ...El R Home Ec-Practice for Tomorrow's Homemakers A required course for Fresh- man girls, Home Economics I included such studies as dat- ing, home management, family living, child care, colors, and decorating. Of course, sewing and cooking had their place, too. The Advanced Home Eco- nomics classes began the year by analyzing their wardrobes and sewing many new clothes to fill their closets. Two guys also participated in Home Ec. Plans were made for an all male Home Ec. class for future years. A Christmas party for the faculty provided an enjoyable interval for the students. The classes then finished the year with consumer economics, along with more advanced sewing and cooking. All students enjoyed the benefit of films, field trips, and speakers. F ,... . .
