Students in Auto Body not only work on cars, but many unusual projects.

Above, Junior Bryan Hughes prepares the frame of a bike for a refinish job.

The Auto Body program prepares students to enter the job market as trained and qualified Auto Body technicians. The students learn how to paint vehicles, perform custom air brush works, a variety of auto repairs and patch. Senior student C.J. Wallace, was quoted saying Mr. Dipaola is hilarious and can teach you a lot. Mr. Sam Dipaola and Mr. John Brown help the students throughout the year work on many different hands-on proj-

ects in order to enhance their skills to become an auto body repair technician. These projects include fixing customers vehicles, welding, fabricating replacement parts, and painting their vehicle. The students also learn how to use the computerized frame straightening equipment as they work on the customers vehicle. Robert Clark a Senior in Auto Body said He was able to learn a lot about how to paint and repair vehicles. Mr. Dipaola said all of the

Auto Body classes in the area have to change their paint to water based paint, and go green. These changes mean that students need to learn new methods of preparation and application. In order to gain real world experience in an auto body shop, students will end their year with an internship in areas body shops where they will work on vehicles under the supervision of an employer. In the past, these internships have resulting in students

being hired for full time jobs after graduation. Auto Body students also participate in the Skills USA competition. Junior Allen Presher won 1st place in the Painters Assistant competition at the Regional Skills USA event at Wellsville A fun activity this year was a field trip to Coopers Plains to watch professional air brush painter. Also they are going to Carlisle for a car show to round out their very busy and successful year in Auto Body.

Senior Anthony Ordway practices operating the tire machine which was recently added to Auto-Tech program.

It was a busy year for students in the Wildwood Auto Technology class. All the students had many opportunities to get involved in repair and maintenance of all types of vehicles. Everything from brake jobs, to transmission work, tire repair and welding, and this year they began using a new automatic tire machine which made fixing tires much more efficient. Auto Tech is a program at Wildwood that specializes in the repair and maintenance of motor vehicles. Students gain the skills that will make it easier when they go on to college for a more advanced education in the field of automotive repair.

But Wildwood Auto Tech students also participated in some extra curricular activities outside the shop. Students competed in Skills USA and another competition at Morrisville College where Anthony Ordway and Jeff McGlynn ranked in the top ten in the state. Their competition involved fixing a 2012 Mustang GT within an hour. Auto Tech students also went on a field trip to Detroit for a car show where they saw many different types of vehicles. During the trip, they stopped by the Henry Ford museum, where they saw many historic exhibits including the bus that Rosa Parks rode, and the car that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in. It was a very enjoyable trip.10

Senior Brandon Vosburg gets ready to jump into the house project in which Building Trades students construct a complete ranch style home inside a pole barn on the Wildwood Campus. The home is then moved to a permanent lot and eventually purchased by a family.

Although the senior class is quite small, it didnt stop them from accomplishing great goals for the year. Teacher, Mr. Lemay, commented by saying that everyone works harder in small groups. They had gotten a late start on their house-building project, in which all students work on constructing a 3-bedroom ranch home that is donated to the City of Hornell, moved to a permanent lot and eventually sold to a family. The class also had time for

some more unusual projects such as building the shed for Criminal Justice and constructing hunting blinds. For senior Doug Tilton, his most memorable part of the class was helping build the ranch house. He said that the experience will leave him with skills for repairing his own home in the future. In ten years, hell be able to look back at the house and say, I built that. Eric Smith used his experiences in his class to help build his porch over the summer.

Collin Weakland, also a senior in Building Trades, learned how to fix things with no prior knowledge and how to mesh with different personalities. The seniors took several field trips during the year, and had one thing to say about their trip to the waste treatment plant. Mostly that it STANK!

CIT is a class in which everyone feels like a family and gets along well. Since its a small class it doesnt take long for everyone to get to know one another. Mrs. Murphys greatest memory of the two years she spent with these seniors was that for the first time ever she had a class that had 100% sucess rate on the certification exams for both A+ and Network+. Students said they loved the fact that these tests were a reward for being in the class, something that an adult

must pay to take. Lucas Halbert stated that Free stuff is awesome!. Senior Frankie Ray said his favorite time in class was When he got to put together the multi-monitor in the back room. Setting up the LAN was Casey Getmans favorite time in class. Everyone agreed that sub-netting and review days were the most challenging part of the class. Over the two years, there were a lot of good things that the class learned. Then there are those moments that will never be forgotten22

such as for Lucas Halbert, when he plugged in the mysterious purple cord and brought down the entire BOCES network. As a class they all said that constructing computers, if nothing else will be something they will never forget.

Cosmetology students provide service by offering their skills to the community. Above Senior Alex Lounsberry gives a resident at the Updykes Willow Ridge a full manicure.

Many of our students have a great deal of drive and motivation, and they have the will to succeed. Im sure they will be very successful in this career, says Cosmetology teacher Mr. DApice about his senor class. Cosmetology may seem glamorous but it takes a lot of hard work to gain the skills that are needed to be successful. For example COS students need to learn the science behind the chemistry of

They have diverse personalities, Mr. Quinlan said when describing his senior class. He also said they have great potential. They are a very athletic class and that is a real asset when working in this field. A new feature in the CJ program this year is a special building constructed so that the teachers can set up

simulated crime situations and students can then learn and practice skills in a realistic environment. This was a joint effort, as the new building was actually constructed by our own Building Trades students right here on campus. The criminal justice class has helped many kids decide what they want to do in the future. Some students aspire

to be state troopers and correctional officers. So the students went to Elmira Prison. There they spoke with an inmate who shared about many harsh but true life lessons. Elmira Prison was pretty eye opening, Brandon Mills said when describing his visit. The class also went to the CSI Exhibit in Rochester, Washington D.C., and to an all female30

prison. This class is pretty intense, Charlea Smith said in describing her experience here. The seniors summed up how they feel about the class by saying they wouldnt change anything, they like the class the way it is.

Ask a Culinary Arts student about the best things they learned in the class and you will get a variety of answers. Cooking with friends was the experience that Elizabeth Tormey said that she enjoyed the most. Senior Christopher Cahill actually liked learning about a side of the business that most people try to avoid, that being the paperwork. Sandra Gascon said everything going on around me was what she enjoyed referring to the very busy and active atmosphere in the Culinary Arts hands-on kitchen. Culinary Arts is one of those classes where your constantly going about creating something magical. Whether its cutting veggies into slices, frying chick-

en, or throwing pizza dough in the air, the Culinary Arts class always cooks up something magical. For example around Christmas time, a major class project involved making gingerbread houses. This was an enjoyable experience, especially since it was also a competition in which staff and students on campus voted for their favorites. Even though the cooking and baking is always fun, there is a more difficult side to the class. This year, seniors took the Pro-Start Certification exam. This is a nationally recognized industry exam that employers everywhere value when hiring new employees to work in restaurants.

Of course fund-raising is another part of the activities in Culinary Arts. Seniors sold pizza and other items for lunch on campus during the year to raise money for field trips and class activities, including the costs of participating in competitions such as Skills USA and Pro Start. They seem very hungry... and they are on the edge of greatness Mr. Masconi said when asked about the Culinary Arts senior class. Overall, the class made sure that this year was special. They created some magical dishes, did some crazy stuff, but most of all, this year the seniors of Culinary Arts made their time here a great experience.

Nadene Pyer, and Tiffany Schwartz practice the proper techniques for lifting a client out of bed and into a wheel chair.

These students are some of the best kids I have ever had the privilege to teach said Teacher Mrs. Bracken. She said this class instantly came together and worked as team. I am very proud of that fact. This class learned how to work with the elderly by going to McAuley Manor nursing home for hands on training in their

clinical. Working at McAuley gives Health Occupations students a very good idea of what the nursing career is like. While there, they assist the nursing staff with patient care and work one-on-one with patients. Another major curriculum area is child care. Health Occupations students spend time

at local day-care centers and help the staff with teaching and child care. During their work in child care, the children are invited to visit Health Occupations classroom at Wildwood. Megan Hadsell recalls when the day-care kids came to visit they were finger painting and the kids started to play tag and got paint all over everyone and

everything. Reflecting on their experiences this past year students had comments such as this is a fantastic class or the best class I have ever been in and I have had never had this much fun in school ever.

Once again Heavy Equipment had a busy year at Wildwood. They have continued to work in a collaborative effort with the Town of Hornellsville and the DEC on creating a new road that will serve as an entrance to the Wildwood campus. This year Seniors and Juniors have continued clearing trees to make room for the water retention pond that will be located at the base of the new road. They also worked on a developing a new cross country trail, with the help of the City of Hornell. The City generously loaned a 311 Cat excavator for students to use for clean ditches and remove stumps for the new trail. This machine was a great experience to learn how to operate according to the Instructors. Another accomplishment this year all Heavy Equipment students passed and received their Fork Truck Certification by demonstrating their skill in operation. Bob Hammond of B & B Repair Company from Canisteo taught the small engine repair course. Students were taught various ways to maintain, trouble shoot and repair small engines, and chain saws. Finally, the Heavy Equipment class had the opportunity to compete at the Williamsport Heavy Equipment Rodeo to round out a very busy season.

Introduction to Career Majors is a program to provide students a chance to experience a variety of career fields and develop skills that will enable them to successfully transition into the Career and Technical Education. Mr. Strickarz and his assistant Mrs. Flint, provide a sequence of modules that are taught throughout the year, designed to meet state standards. ICM provides the flexibility for students to enter at anytime where they may gain the skills, knowledge and behaviors necessary to make an informed decision about what career program they want to go into. ICM is designed for all students, and lessons are individualized to meet the varying needs and abilities of each student. The

two work labs, also known as light and heavy labs, offer many different types of work to help prepare the students for the workplace. The light lab focuses more on business services and even cooking, while the heavy lab specializes in the trade industry as it trains students in woodworking and welding, even though Mr. Strickarz stated that this class was, The least interested in welding. The students incorporate the skills they learn in many different ways, including a fund-raiser for the Hornell Humane Society that involved making dog treats. When asked about the class, teacher Mrs. Flint said, They are very talented kids, and very enthusiastic. They are just getting

their feet wet and deciding what they want to do. The class roster is always shifting and Mrs. Flint stated more students have been put into CTE courses instead of staying the whole year in ICM. Students come and go all the time, and we always end with more students because they want to be here, Mr. Strickarz noted. ICM offers a multitude of different opportunities for students to learn and excel, while staying in one program. ICM is almost like the Jack of All Trades at the Wildwood Campus.

The Wildwood Technology Challenge Team

Several students from across the Wildwood campus participated in the 3rd Annual Alfred State College Technology Challenge on March 25th 2011. The competition this year involved about twelve school districts from Buffalo to Rochester and the Southern Tier. The challenge consisted of several components. The technology component of the project consisted of a solar oven design and construction, design and construction of a robotic device to operate the oven, and a baking task. Faculty and students from the Robotics Department at Alfred State served as judges for the technology component of the competition. The project also required that students follow Alfred States design process which included creation of CAD drawings for the construction. During the competition, the team used their solar oven to cook shepherds pie, an apple crisp, and a meringue cookie, which were also judged by the Alfred State Culinary department for quality and taste. The business component of the project included creating a business plan for the device along with a logo and marketing materials such as brochures and posters. In creating this business plan, students learned how solar ovens are becoming an important device for

cooking and water purification in third-world countries and in areas where disasters have occurred. The business plan and marketing materials were judged by representative faculty and students from the Alfred State Business Department. Our team consisted of Ashley Webb a senior Digital Media Arts student from Hornell, Lyzz Tormey a senior Culinary Arts student from Jasper-Troupsburg, Dana Foster a senior Auto Technology student from Hornell, and Lauren Drew a junior Building Trades student from Hornell. Also assisting with the business and marketing plan were Jamie Kennedy and Eric Weyand senior DMA students. The faculty advisors for the team were Gary Acker from Digital Media Arts, and Robert Lemay from Building Trades. It was a very enjoyable experience and I really learned alot about ecology, teamwork and building projects said team member Ashley Webb. The team placed 4th in the overall standing, and they were in 1st and 2nd place in several of the individual components.
