The workings of North Webster Junior High

By CATHY BRILL Staff Writer Education today does not only mean studying the basics, it also means discovering crafts, skills, and the arts. Students at North Webster Schools are being introduced to these very important aspects of education and living. However, all to often people in the community are uninformed and find the curriculum and activities at their local schools a mystery. This is why Principal Bryant and some members of the faculty at North Webster Junior High are taking this opportunity to let the community know what is in the works at their school and the active parts both staff and students are playing in learning. Jim White, the industrial education teacher demonstrates the formentioned facet of learning in his industrial arts classes. The objectives of the classes White teaches are for students to learn and perfect manipulative skills, to learn more about industry and its processes, to make students more aware of industrial education classes offered in high school, to give an opportunity to learn practical skills and to teach safe work habits. In industrial arts classes which are offered to six, seventh and eighth graders study increases in complexity as the higher level classes build on earlier ones. For example, sixth graders are finishing metals projects and soon will be in wood working. Seventh graders are completing one view drawings and will move to arthographic drawing soon. While the eighth graders are currently in mechanical drawing, including oblique and isometric drawing. They will also complete one and two point perspective drawings, architectural drawings and a required project in woods which expands on the concepts introduced in the seventh grade project.
