High school carpenters exhibit their work by NAN CHALAT Record staff writer The wood cabinets, tables and chairs on display in the Park City High School foyer may look like antiques, but they aren't. They were all created this year by the industrious students in Keven I Goode's woodworking classes. The projects are part of their year-end final exams. The grades are also on display in the form of ribbons and plaques. The entries were judged by Roland Peacock, vocational director for the Park City, North Summit and South Summit school districts, Park City High School Principal Jack Dozier and industrial arts instructor Kevin . Goode. The grand prize of a plaque and a $25 cash award went to Julie Leavitt for her grandfather clock. "The decision was unanimous," Goode said. The handmade six-foot-high timepiece time-piece was created from rough lumber and a set of plans, Goode said. He added that Leavitt considered using a kit, but decided to take on the extra challenge of milling the pieces herself. "My mom has always wanted a grandfather clock," Leavitt said. That's why I wanted to do it. I hope it is something that will stay in our family forever." The project took three months "with lots of afternoons after-noons after school," she said. Jeff Lambert's gun cabinet earned the grand prize runner-up plaque and John Vetterli's drafting table won a blue ribbon. Ocey Leavitt' s gun cabinet also won a blue ribbon. "The woodworking classes meet the educational needs of students which the academic classes do not," Goode said. Several special education educa-tion students are enrolled in the program, he said. ' Other projects currently on display include a compound archery bow by Matt Smith, a wooden safe made by Dannie Terrel, a glass-and-wood coffee table constructed by Billy Clark and a refinished hexagonal end table that Thad Rice rescued from a fire. |
