INDUSTRIAL ARTS In 1950, the Woodland Industrial Arts Department began under the supervision of Mr. John Layman. The department was housed under the old gymnasium and had one small classroom and one lab. Some of the students taking the course helped con- struct the work benches, tool cabinets, and several other pieces of necessary equipment. The student enrollment was approxi- mately 50. and the courses included drawing, woodwork and metals. Mr. Don Lax became the teacher in 1959 and architectual drawing, electricity, and welding classes were added. The Woodland Schools moved to its present location in 1964 and new and modern equipment was added. New drawing desks were built by Mr. Lax and Don Sitze (a student at that time). A new blower system was installed and one metal lathe was added. Enrollment went up to 80-85. In 1966 Mr. Lax dropped out of teaching in favor of industry but returned after one year. In 1978 a new metal shop was added to the present building and in 79 Mr. Noah Rhodes set new tools and equipment up for in- struction in welding, electricity, artmetal. machine shop, foundry, and advanced metals. In 1981 Mr. Wilkinson became the new instructor for the metal shop. He taught junior high exploratory' classes, and ad- vanced metals. In 1982 the flood ruined much of the equipment and it had to be replaced. At present almost all of the equipment is less than 10 years old. There are approximately 100-110 students en- rolled. Over the years many students have participated in local, regional, and state level exhibits and there have been many win- ners on all three levels.
