Creativity

Part Of Class

T
he rooms were filled with the sounds of
hammers hitting metal, saws going back
and forth along wood, sparks flying
everywhere. These classrooms could only be
industrial arts.
Those students had many choices in the way
of projects for the year. Rolltop breadboxes,
entertainment centers, bookcases and night-
stands were just a few of them.
The projects were done by students from
beginning to end. " All the projects were original
in that the students designed their own projects
from scratch," Department Head George Franke
said.
The projects were not only designed by the
students but they also allowed the students to be
creative. The students had to solve the problems
on how to construct their projects and what the
finishing touches would be.
When it came to creativity the girls did just
as well.Teachers agreed that more girls should
have taken these classes. "They do just as well!"
drafting teacher Bob Trauernicht said.
Students projects did not go unnoticed.
There were fairs for students sponsored by
various colleges. Peru State College and Kearney
State College were just two of the colleges that
sponsored fairs in past years. In these fairs,
students got a chance to show the projects they
worked on all year. Details of these will be found
in the spring supplement.
