When Dairold Lambert signed up
for the apprentice program with
John Deere Tuesday, he was the
latest in a list of students who have
been through the Auto Technology
program at Seminole High School
and have achieved a degree of
success in their chosen field.
In fact, according to Auto Tech
instructor Bob Summer, who has
overseen the program for the past
seven years, 70 percent of students
who have gone through and are
going through the Auto Tech course
are using skills learned from the
program, including the professions
of mechanic and heating and air
conditioning.
Summer said the entire Auto
Tech program takes two years and
the curriculum is approved to meet
Automobile Service Excellence
(ASE) standards. Summer himself
is ASE certified as a master
automobile technician.
Each student who goes through
the entire program learns every
phase--from overhauling a
carburetor, building manual and
automatic transmissions to
overhauling an engine.
This year, the students rebuilt a
1953 pickup, with various students
doing different parts and then
writing about it.
Summer said that the majority of
students entering the class "don't

have the knowledge" of automobile
technology, but if they finish the
two-year program, they win have
the knowledge.
This year, the program has been
nominated for an "Award of
Excellence," sponsored by the
American Automobile
Manufacturers Association, one of
just 10 schools in Texas so
nominated. Summer said the
program was nominated by Bill
Szelag of General Motors in Dallas.
In addition to this year, several
past students have also started
successful careers after taking the
course. Two examples are Ricky
Martinez, who has been employed
by a General Motors dealer in
Levelland and Jason Campbell, who
will graduate from Brookhaven
Community College in Dallas and
will then go to work for an
automobile dealership in Arlington.
In addition to Lambert signing
for the apprentice program at John
Deere, other students this year have
obtained scholarships through their
proficiency in the program.
Kenneth Peters has received a
$6,500 scholarship from U.T.I. and
$1,500 from Wyoming Technical
Institute; Chad King has received
a $2,000 stipend from the G.C.
Morris Educational Trust; and John
Oliver and Daniel Kelly have
received stipends from U.T.I. for
$5,500 and $2,000, respectively.
A major accomplishment of the
program this year was the five
students who took the national
scholarship exam. Three of them
finished in the top 10—Peters was
second, Oliver finished fifth and
Lambeirt was sixth. In addition,
Kelly was 32nd.
Summer himself deserves a lot
of the credit for the continued
success of the program. In addition
to his teaching, he has been active
in the communities where he has
resided and in organizations relating
to his profession.
He came to the Seminole schools
in 1988 after 18 years as a custom
combiner and four years as
Superintendent of Transportation
for the Sudan Independent School
District.
Currently working for his
Occupational Technology-BSOE
degree at Wayland Baptist
University, Summer is also active
in the Texas Industrial Vocational
Association (TIVA). He joined the
organization in 1986, was elected
as a board member in 1989, elected
as committee chairman in 1992-93,
elected as state secretary-treasurer
in 1993-94 and has been nominated
for president-elect for the 1994-95
year.
He served on the Vocational
Industrial Clubs of America Teacher
Advisory Committee for five years,
serves on the T1CA Teacher
Advisory Grievance Committee at
the state level, and is currently
second vice president of the
Seminole Lions Club.
Summer was a member of the
Sudan Lions Club for 15 years and
served as president during 1986-87
and 1987-88. He was chosen Zone
Chairman for Zone 3-B for six
years, and was chosen "Lion of the
Year" for 1986-87.
He has received lifetime
membership certificates in Youth
Exchange, Leader Dogs for the
Blind, Texas Lions Camp and Girls
Town.
