Physics is the science of the junior year. It is a required sub- ject. This is not a condemnation of it, but rather the highest praise which can be bestowed on it. It is required of all boys because it deals with the fundamental, mechanical and scientitic problems of the pres- ent time. Manual training is one of the subjects taught in our school. Classes are held in the basement. Here the boys learn to turn out all sorts of things. It is the funda- mental training of our future Woodworkers. All may not intend to follow this but even then it is a yiry good subject to know in later 1 e. Mechanical drawing--the words explain themselves. Here our fu- ture mechanical engineers and even our architects are taught the art of drawing. This is an extremely important art because, before a machine or, in fact, anything which we have, can be made in our fac- tories, a scale drawing of it must be made. Here the boys are being taught to do this thing. Page Seventeen

All one needs to do is to pass by its door and sniff the savory odors which issue from it and he will be very generous in his commendation of this branch of study.

Nothing could be more fascinating than a study of prob- lems of this sort, The physical makeup of our country is studied in detail. Chemistry is the science of the senior year. It is a study of mat- ter. Two types of work are done. One is the study of the ingredients which make up matter, while the other is the study of the quantity of the ingredients in the matter. Daily class recitations are held on four days of the week and the fifth day is spent in laboratory work by the pupils themselves.

Printing is one of the most important trades of today. Without printing we could not even have this book. Printing of all sorts is taught in our print shop. There are several job presses. The students also get much practice in l I newspaper printing by their work on the Spotlight. l l l i W1 5 i Our machine shop is another im- 1' portant branch of the vocational department. It offers training along lines which are very valuable. One usually thinks of the machinist as a common laborer when in reality he is one of the most skillful. It is no simple task to turn down metal accurately as they are required to do. l v ','4 v v v v v v v v V v V V l f... : : V: : : : : : lgzl Plll ,: : : : : : : : : :,: Page Eighteen
