Last week we shared this photo with you:
Unfortunately, we don’t have any information about this photo and our readers weren’t able to shed any light on it. This one will remain a mystery for now.
My comment is exactly the same as Dave Johns. We had Mr. Bird for electrical shop, Kline for wood shop, Mason for Auto. I can’t remember the machine shop person but I think it was Mr. Clare for drafting and Mr. Cullen was the welding and occupations shop I think.
This was an amazing facility that has been under utilized lately. Instead of dropping grade 13 we should have added grade 14 so that students could have gone further in their education without having the expense of having to go to another city to college. There could be an amazing amount of co-op learning happen at the high school level but they lack the time to make it work. Too bad.
I remember writing grade 13 “Departmental” exams in June, 1963 to the sounds of construction outside.
The building of Technical Wing at H.H.S. It was completed for the 1963-64 school term. Lucky to be one of the first graduating Tech class in 1966. Mr. Mason was our Auto class teacher and he was a good one. Mr. Kline, the wood working teacher, headed up this whole project.
