Classified Personnel Famines in India, dust storms in the Ukraine, and droughts in the Mid- west did not phase Carlmont ' s cafe- teria staff as they fought an equally perplexing dilemma: feeding 1,800 students a day, five days a week, 36 weeks a year.

Art Art and craft displays in Chimney Comers captured the imagination of students and showed the kind of work being done in Carlmon ' t extensive art program. Students learned to appreci- ate art in freehand, drawing, painting, figure drawing, general and commercial art, crafts, and ceramics. Industrial Arts Drafting and wood and metal labor- atories were the three main subjects taught by the Industrial Arts depart- ment. In metal lab, students learned welding, forging, sheet and bench metal, and lathe operations. In wood lab, the lathes were con- stantly turning out projects of the stu- dents ' imagination. The drafting courses ranged from be- ginning to advanced drafting, which in- cluded highly complicated mechanical architecture. Mathematics Even though no one told them that 2 + 2=5, students learned by a slightly different approach from the Yale Mathematics program, in its second year at Carlmont. Teachers used in- ductive rather than deductive teaching methods. In this way the student works several examples and formulates a gen- eral rule to govern that type of prob- lem. Courses were offered in general math, algebra, geometry, and advanced math. WAIT TILL THE BOYS AT CANAVERAL SEE THIS ONE HOPE HE HAD BLUE CROSS
