stands by in case he needs assistance.
Industrial arts — (don t let the title fool you!)
you know anything about industrial arts?”
"I don’t know anything about it. What is it?”
“ I don’t know. Why don’t you ask somebody?
“ I’m not going to ask anybody, you ask somebody.”
"Hey, I know. Let’s get someone on the Ram staff.
They’ll ask anybody questions for their yearbook.
Maybe they’ll find out something.
After being asked to find out what in the world indus­
trial arts is, a Ram staff member set out to work. He
came across Joe Stud.
The Ram — Do you know what something called
'Small Engines” is?
Joe Stud — Yeah, man, that’s a class in industrial
arts. It taught me a lot about engines.
The Ram — What else did you learn in “ Small
Engines?”
Joe Stud — Well, ya see, I also learned how to use
tools instead of just my charm.
The Ram — What’s the class like?
Joe Stud — Ya know, we work on our projects, most
of the time. We pretty much set our own pace on the
engine we’re working on.
The Ram — That sounds like a pretty good class to
take.
Joe Stud — Yah man, it’s pretty cool.
After jotting down all that information the Ram staf­
fer ran into Suzy Cheerleader.
The Ram — Hey, Suzy, I hear you have a class
called “ Architectural Drawing?”
Suzy — Yeah, rah!
The Ram — What do you do in this class?
Suzy — We draw pictures of houses and sometimes
of the jocks across the row.
The Ram — What’s good about the class?
Suzy — Well, we improve our drawing techniques so

my life.
The Ram — Thanks, Suzy.
After awhile the Ram staffer met with Charlie Space
cadet.
The Ram — Hey, Spacey, do you have some class
that deals with electricity?
Spacey — huh??
The Ram — I said ... Do you have an electricity
class?
Spacey — Yah, it’s pretty shocking.
The Ram — Why did you take this class?
Spacey— I took it because the regular schedule
was boring and I needed an electrifying class.
The Ram — Oh, I see. What have you learned?
Spacey — I learned that if you want to become a
magnetic person, you should learn to be positive
instead of negative.
The Ram — What has been the funniest moment in
class?
Spacey — Watt?... Oh, the funniest moment... I
guess it was when I tripped the automatic sprinkler
system while the class was working with live wires.
The Ram — Oh, Okay??? Spacey — thanks.
After giving back the information to the two students
they reached these conclusions:
“Gee, these classes sound like fun.”
“Yeah and you don’t have to have straight A’s to
take it.”
“Girls take the classes too. Wow!
“ I think I'm going to like industrial arts.”
“ Me too.”
Industrial arts offers many different courses ranging
from woodworking to auto mechanics. These courses
are offered to all students at RHS, girls as well as boys.
According to many students these classes can help
you if you want to go into a particular trade.
