8CC.CC© 11(11 f A TIAI THE ACADEMY WOOD¬ WORK SHOP occupies three large buildings with a total floor space of approximately 16,400 sq. feet. Woodwork¬ ing is the major industry of Auburn Academy. It is within the walls of these three white buildings that many young men have learned a useful occupation as well as earned their entire way through school. With business increasing we have just completed the construction of a modern paint room where we will finish many of our products. Also, we have added several new, machines to our shop. Among them is a new cut¬ off saw and a hollow chisel mortiser which enables us to do better work with less time and money. NEIL ROWLAND and DAVE HUME were never in a woodwork shop prior to the one at Auburn Academy. Now after three years of rvice they are considered proficient workmen. Statistics reveal that 800,000 working hours have been put in in our plant this past year. It would take one boy, working 4 hours a day, 650 years to put out the furniture that was made in the past 12 months.

CN THE I AMI I f ASSEMBLY FOR CHAPEL is included in our daily class program. Professor R. L. Hubbs conducts the devotional hour. The “Prodigal Son Comes Home” was the topic on which he spoke the day this picture was taken. AND. HERE IS A GEN¬ ERAL VIEW of our spreading green campus, in striking contrast with the white of the build¬ ings. This is the scene of hustling activity from six in the morning until lights out brings a wel¬ come night ' s lull at 9:30 P. M.’ If it could talk our Campus would reveal the memories of many scur¬ rying feet and then, again, long pauses, as groups of students seek the grass to rest after their duties.

Student bakers, Alden Burman and Tom Thom¬ sen, bake on the average of 65 loaves of bread a day in these ovens. Ivan Canady and Clar¬ ence Johnson, school dairymen, arise at 4 a. m. every morning to milk thirteen cows. The dairy has proved to be a great asset to our school.
