Chuck Kendrick and Danny
Tidwel] were contestants at the
V ocation Industrial Contest held at
the Myriad in Oklahoma City, April
3. The following day, April 4, the
winners were announced at the
Yukon auditorium in the Yukon
High School. There were six win-
ners out of 24 contestants in the
Brick and Block Masonry contest.
Chuck placed second and Danny
placed third. They each received a
medal and a set of tools.
To qualify for the competition,
students must be a member of
VICA, Vocation Industrial Clubs of
America, and have placed first, se-
cond, third, or fourth in the
regionals prior to this competition.
After registration and before the
actual competition, the participants
took a VICA knowledge test. Then
they went to work on their in-
dividual projects, which were
timed at exactly four hours. While
working they were judged on joint
fullness, tool manipulation, clean-
liness of job, and speed. After the
time was called the judges checked
the range, plumbness, height, level,
squareness and the striking of the
joints of each contestant's con-
s truction. The project, including
the VICA knowledge test, was
worth a total of 400 points.
