Industrial Arts Offers Sophomore Dave Vap displays his skill at milling down aluminum on the lathe in metal shop. Concentrating intensely, Linda Sestokas draws a precise line for a drafting assignment si i Diversified Occupations Courses tailored for the individual were empha- sized this year in the industrial arts department. The addition of a course in diversified occupations allowed students to obtain training in vocations not taught at Mitchell. Classroom instruction on job interviews and per- sonal job relations preceded the placement of stu- dents into apprenticeship situations. Students worked as telephone operators, bakers, veterinary assistants, or workers in sheet metal. Another innovation which emphasized the con- cept of individual instruction was the experimental use of Learning Activity Packages with sophomores enrolled in woodworking, graphic arts, and auto. An instruction pamphlet covering one unit of information and assignments was given to each student. Upon completion of the pamphlet, the students were tested in the arts resource center. If the student did not pass the test, he was given another pamphlet over the same unit in which the subject matter was approached differently.
