This Is Vocational
By CINDY HOVIS
KMHS Teacher
Today's workplace is a fast-
paced arena of constant technologi-
cal change. To compete successful-
ly, workers must enter the job
market with up-to-date skills.
During February 10-15, KMHS
will celebrate Vocational Week.
This year's theme is "Vocational
Education: Classrooms of the
Future." A look into these vocation
classrooms provide examples of
this theme.
Drafting students at KMHS are
capable of entering their chosen
field armed with more than a me-
chanical pen and ruler. These stu-
dents, under the direction of Bill
Wellburn, are developing skills in
the art of computerized drafting
through the use of a Versacad sys-
tem. This system is a powerful
computer tool for creating, draft-
ing, storing and revising drawing
of all types. Students are able to
make drawing choices on a com-
puter screen, then through the use
of a "mouse" or input device, they
arg able to place their choices onto
the screen to produce a drawing.
The Versacad system enables stu-
dents to produce professional-qual-
ity drawings in minutes compared
to the tedious manual techniques
which would take hours or even
days.
One of Versacad's most enthusi-
astic supporters is Robb Cansler,
who reports, "This year since I've
learned a lot more about using
Versacad, I feel as though I've fall-
en in love with it." Robb feels he is
more likely to be be creative and
experiment with more complicated
designs because of the Versacad's
technology.
Students in welding classes,
guided by instructor Tim Heavner,
are also training for the future with
skills developed using Thermal
Arc Pak 5XR, a plasma arc cutting
system. Old-fashioned oxygen
acetylene cutting devices are slow
and are unable to cut aluminum,
magnesium, or stainless steel. With
the use of this plasma cutter,
KMHS students are able to make
clean cuts on most metal up to five
inches thick, able to make cuts up

to five times faster than oxyacety-
lene cutting, and are able to do this
with very little distortion of the cut
surfaces due to the lower operating
temperatures. In the future, plasma
arc cutting is predicted to be wide-
ly used in the transportation, nucle-
ar power and chemical industries.
Even more exciting, plasma arc
cutting is being implemented in au-
tomated or robotic fabrication op-
erations, manufacturing techniques
of the future.

board students learn to prepare let-
ters and reports on computers.
Computer Application classes,
taught by Kathy Goforth, expand
students’ experiences to working
with word processing programs,
spreadsheets and data base sys-
tems. Jaquitha Reid's Accounting

partments of businesses. Sheila
Sisk's Administrative Support
classes are held in a classroom de-
signed to look and operate like an
office. Students receive high
school credit by using these skills
to work in local businesses in co-
operative training programs.
Susan Pursley's cosmetology
classes often have guest speakers
from the beauty industry demon-
strate new techniques and products.
The most recent was Glenda
Heavner from Zotos International,
who discussed the industry's trend
to "environment friendly" prod-
ucts. The product line, Bain de
Terre, doesn't introduce harmful
chemicals into air and water with
its use.
The mission of all vocational ed-
ucators is to prepare their students
for successful entry into the job
market. Continued training of
state-of-the-art technology demon-
strated in "Classrooms of the
Future" will enable the young men
and women of Kings Mountain to
begin their working careers with
enthusiasm and confidence.
