DECEMBER, 1989 FORSYTH TECHNICAL INSTITUTE Not much now but . . . Does this really belong to Forsyth Tech? New Building Should Be Ready Next Year The new student center-class- room should be ready by next fall, the building and grounds commit tee of the board of trustees was told in November. The building is slightly behind schedule the committee was told, but the builders have regained a week of time lost earlier in the summer. Dr. Parry has stated that the building should be ready for occu pancy by the time the fall quarters start in September. The building is being built at a cost of 1.3 million dollars and will include class- rooms, a learning laboratory, a cafeteria-lounge and a library. Dr. Parry said he hopes the new building providing the much need ed classroom space will allow the The Fashion Scene The 1969-70 school year started off with an exciting look in clothes. Students and faculty at FTI are in with fashion 69-70. Girls are sporting the mini- skirts, mini-dresses, and mini-vest dresses. You can also see con trasting colors of shirts, sweaters, hi-boys and even slips. Some of the girls at FTI find it a lot of fun wearing the fad of boys’ jackets appealing. As winter emerges, the young ladies at FTI emerge in their boots, pants, boot shoe, wide and large stacked heels, and shoes trimmed with anything you want to name. One fashion-minded young lady looks fine as a fiddle in her red leather boots and her all leather brown outfit. To complement these wearing apparels opaque and colored stock ings and knit socks. Costume jewelry includes the money chain, silver and gold bracelets, neck laces, and rings. The jewelry comes in bold colors also, the scarves, which are worn with dresses, skirts and shirts. The men at FTI are fashionably attired daily in their knits, single and six button double breast suits. They also wear a wide variety of colored shirts. Another fad is the sweaters with the monogram ini tials. (Guys, you really look good.) The bell bottoms are still in with the guys at FTI. Leather, suede and cordouroy jackets are seen among the crowd. school to expand its curriculum into new areas. The school’s trus tees have been discussing such an expansion recently. Dean Apple has prepared a list of courses he says the institute needs, including accounting, legal and medical secretarial courses, and expanded adult education. He has recommended study in the area of data processing, elec trical mechanical technology (teachers aides, library aides, and audio-visual aides), food services, child development, auto body re pair and truck trailer mainten ance, retail sales and nursing as sistants. Dean Apple has recommended continuation of the study of an as sociate degree nursing program. Even the male faculty is in with the fashion wearing double breast and six button suits, and colored shirts with ties to match. One member of the faculty looks “great” when he wears his black boots, black suit, black shirt and white tie. Buckle shoes, Edwardian suits, stripe shirts, fur coats, safari coats, wide ties, stripe and solid colors are also seen by our fash ion-minded men at FTI. This wraps up the FASHION SCENE at FTI for this month. Where there’s fashion—look for the girl at FTI on the FASHION SCENE. I'M TIRED I’m tired of conventionality and eight hour days and middle class income and two-car families in suburban developments that develop I’m tired of Sunday Sunday’s one day week religion and Easter clothes and Christmas presents and Thanksgiving turkey and Fourth of July firecrackers that blow-up everything I’m tired of patriotic unpatriots who wave a flag they never see and hate for the hell of it and fear God on Sunday and kill each other on Tuesday’s I’m tired of everything and haven’t seen half of it yet Campus Talk The morning class of Introduc tion to Business held a car wash, November 22, behind the auto me chanics shop for its candidate for Christmas Queen, Belinda Craver. Those participating were: Bor- roughs, Claude Sparks, Frank Mc Kissick, Larry Jester, Thomas Steele, Mary Hanes, Vickie Mat thews and, of course, Belinda Cra ver. “Moose” Parks, editor of FTI’s first annual, says the exterior lay- out of the annual has been finished. Material for the interior of the annual is now in the process of being gathered. The Circle K Club sponsored a Thanksgiving box that was placed in room 500. On Wednesday, No vember 26, two members of the club, Thomas Steele and Frank McKissick carried the box, which was packed full of different types of food stuffs, to the Personnel Office where Mr. Vogular, the ad visor, picked it up to distribute to a needy family for Thanksgiving. Forsyth Tech basketball team won its first game by clawing to “ribbons” the Color Carpets team by a score of 69 to 39, in the fast and furious city basketball league. Follow your “Reporter” for a com plete examination of our team in the next issue of the paper. The Christmas Dance will be held Saturday, December 20, at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. The Tyme Machine Combo will perform. Time is from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Ad mission is $1.00 for stag and $1.50 for couples. Place is the top floor of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Francis Greene, our Student Council president, is asking that all student council members attend all student council meetings in the future. You were not selected to go somewhere else but to attend student council meetings and re port back to your specific curricu lum about the various activities. This is your job to prove to your curriculum that you can handle it! The Halloween Dance wasn’t a big success as every one had hoped. The dance was held Oc tober 31. People that were present amounted to 30. We don’t call this a crowd at all, but merely a hand full. Maybe the location was a fac tor. Philo Junior High School is a good way out and not a well known place. We are hoping that in the future, dances are planned with the location being a well known area, so that the student body can attend in large numbers.

Mr. Barry Boneno and Mr. Bob Thompson PAGE THREE FEATURED CURRICULUM "Automobile Coming into Forsyth Tech, and driving past the 500 Building, one may see an unusual sight. There is, first of all, a fence. Inside the fence is a maroon corvair, a pied mont construction tractor and sev eral other vehicles inside it. There is also a brick building with auto matic garage doors. What is this? It is the Automobile Mechanic’s shop of FTI. I went inside to inspect the shop, which has various types of ma chinery. A young man came in with a blue uniform on, whose name was Rick Fletcher. Rick gave me a first hand tour of the whole shop. A group of machines that looked like computers were classified as tune-up machines and a distributor machine. Our next stop was an automatic transmission tester, a unique machine that does just what the name says, test automatic transmissions. The price of this machine was nine thousand dol lars. Continuing on, our next stop was a large, square shaped, metal container that looked like an oven. Rick informed me that this was a block cooker, and explained how it worked. He said they pulled the motor from a car and stripped it down to the bare block. Then they would take the block and place it in the “cooker” overnight to be cleaned out. Our next stop was a John Beam Visual liner that looks like a portable television with a screen to check front ends of auto mobiles. Over in the corner sat a model “A” coach, an antique, in which an instructor, Mr. Hines, is going to restore to its original condition. I spotted a strange looking object setting on a metal table. Rick said it was a “buick float block.” I walked over to a table with a row of transmissions on it. Rick in formed me that these transmis sions are used for teaching pur poses only, and are seldom used for anything else. Our next stop was a machine on a table called a brake drum “lathe” used for lining and refining brake drums. He opened a door that had “tool room” inscribed on it. Inside it were several thousand dollars worth of all types of tools used in an automobile garage or shop. Wanted — Fine Jewelry?

Other equipment present inside the room included an air condition tester, oil cans, spare parts, and other equipment. After leaving the tool room, my tour stopped next at a very un usual looking machine called a brake drum “hone.” The purpose of this machine is to file brake cylinders to fit the shoe. Next in line was a wheel puller which cuts time in half for the average one man job. Rick next showed me an engine “borer” which can bore an engine to the finest fraction of an inch. My tour ventured through an other door marked “Supply Room.” Inside was an air com pressor unit. Behind it was a trans mission rack used for demonstra tion purposes. A spare parts shelf was also included. Rick pointed to a display engine in a stand. He said that this engine could be placed in an automobile and used. We left the room after that and then he showed me a mobile crane used to pull motors from automo biles. He said you roll the crane up to a car, open the hood and with the hoist chains pull the en gine out. He next showed me a complete “289” Ford engine con nected with headers to send the exhause outside. This engine could be started as if it was inside a car. I talked with Rick Fletcher for a few minutes. He is a graduate of West Forsyth High School, and likes working on cars. As a matter of fact, while at West, he, on the ICT program, worked at a service station for three years. I asked Rick what he plans to do after graduation. He plans to go into the Army and go into mechanics of some kind. After this he plans to work as an employee of someone who operates an automotive shop. Rick added a few helpful com ments to this interview. First of all, there are two classes. The morning class starts at 8 o’clock and the evening class at 12 o’clock. The shop closes at 4 o’clock on Tuesday and Friday, and all other days at 5 o’clock. Mr. Hines is the instructor for the morning class and Mr. Wilder, the evening class. My tour guide, Rick Fletcher, is in the evening class, and he said they are studying chassis, suspen sion, and fuel systems. The Automobile Mechanic’s shop is a very unique and fascinating place. There is quite a bit of in formation any car enthusiast would welcome from a guided tour through the shop, such as the one I had. Being a car enthusiast that I am, I enjoyed the tour very much and would like to thank Rick Fletcher for a job well done. Here at Forsyth Tech, I believe that the vocational curriculum could not be any better without its Auto mobile Mechanics division! Would it? I don’t believe so. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!
