' ft- - . 'J ll . it . ,H :V ,., Q, X Mr. Otto Winquist demonstrates the use of a tool in woodworking. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial Arts, woodworking and metal-working were a major subject offered to boys taking a general course. Sophomores and Juniors received a half year's instruction in each shop, while the Seniors were allow- ed to elect one course for the entire year. Under the direction of Mr. Daniel Shea and Mr. Otto Winquist, the boys received proper instruction in the use of hand tools and power machinery. ln this man- ner, they learned to develop skills that will be useful in the future for basic home repairs. This also gave them an opportunity to decide if they wanted to choose mechanical work for their careers or enter into appren- ticeship in areas other than those taught in the Trade High School. The boys made many projects of their own choice during the year. Some of these projects in- cluded bookshelves, coffee tables, and end tables. The boys paid only for the materials they used. Many of these projects were seen on display in the school dur- in e ' i 'FX in kM I ?-.1-- l j A..-f Industrial Arts students show their skill in the woodworking depart- ment. 28 Q Mr. Daniel Shea displays the craft of one of his metaleworking students.

Well-Kouudad Jndzvzdualv PHYSICAL EDucATloN Mr. Leo Smith and Miss Ann Farley headed the physical education department this past year. They attempted to develop a well-rounded individual, both physically and mentally through controlled activity. ln this way, they hoped to raise the fitness standard of B.H.S. to the national level and develop an interest in carry-over sports after high school. This past year, the boys received instruction from Mr. Smith in touch football, soccer, basketball, softball, and advanced stunts and tumbling. They also took part in the national fitness test which consisted of the fifty-yard dash, softball throw, potato race, situps, pull-ups, standing broad lump, and the most popular event of all, the six-hundred yard run. Intramural basketball was the only extra-curricular ac- tivity connected directly with the boys' physical education department. However, Mr. Smith feels that there will be a complete intramural program in the new high school with basketball, softball, and touch football among the sports offered. Miss Farley instructed the girls in basketball, badmin- ton, folk-dancing, field hockey, soccer, softball, and track. Cheerleading, girls' basketball, and G.I.C. were also under the direction of the girls' physical education department. .4111-.A Mr. Leo Smith, boys' physical education instructor.
