- Enrolment in. high school
shop courses dropped when the
provincial government required

_ students to have more academic

courses to graduate, according
to a school board report on in-
dustrial education.

“Our enrolment dropped -a
few years ago, but it’s on the
rise,’’. said Hank Stefaniak,
assistant superintendent of
schools. :

Now, registration levels for
‘industrial education,
metalwork, construction,
mechanics, drafting and elec-
tronics are the same as levels for.

‘Peninsula actor Wyatt Orr
may skyrocket to fame because
of his first television ap-
pearance. He’s been nominated
as best actor in the Viewer
Choice Awards for his part in
Fifteen.

Orr got the part when he was
still 15 years old. ‘‘I heard
about the audition and showed
up with thousands of others,’’
he says.

It took a long time to get the
Starring role in the Vancouver
series. He appeared in !3 audi-
tions and three screen tests.

““Most parts don’t take that
long. I usually go to three. or
four auditions for a part,’’ he
says, confident of .the
knowledge he’s gained in less
than. three years in show
business.

’ course enrolment has continued

to drop, Stefaniak said. In 1980
more. than 53,000 students took
IE. The number dropped to
32,500 in 1986.

Students are now required ike)
‘complete consumer education
and a Grade 1] math and
science course. before they
graduate. ‘‘When students have
their choice of electives reduced
by an increase in required sub-
jects, elective subjects
realize a decline in enrolment,”’
the report said.

‘The provincial restraint. pro-

gram took its toll on equipment
for shop courses. There was no
money in budgets to repair and
replace expensive machines.

Since Fifteen, Orr has ap-
peared in 21 Jump Street and
Sea Hunt, a locally produced
remake of the TV series.

Television demands precision
and consistency from actors, he
says. Many scenes are shot
several times, and each time
movements have to be the same.
“‘If I brush my hand against a
piece of paper in the first shot, I
have to repeat the movement
every time after that.’’

Acting started off as a hobby
and ‘‘took off.’’ Orr met. an
early rejection as a challenge.
He was determined to win his

- next audition.

Stefaniak. A new emphasis may

Orr has taken the nomination
