Shop classes at CHS were as varied as the students who took them. From mechanical drawing, basically for fresh- men, to leather and plastics, so popular that juniors and sen- iors usually fill them, courses were offered to teach CHSers to build things with their hands. Wood-working classes in- cluded bench woods, cabinet woods, and machine woods. All industrial arts sections were open to both boys and girls. This year, Mr. Humpal instigated a two-hour per day course for beginning students. Cindy Cummings examines the leather-working kit each student must purchase if he takes leather. The lathe is demonstrated by Brad Rutan in machine woods. Shop students use facilities in the Ag room to complete their projects. 14 INDUSTRIAL ARTS

Art students are given much freedom in the selection of projects. A bicentennial mural was the main project of the art classes I, II, and III. It contained scenes of the nation, the state, and the city. Under the direction of Mrs. Janet Stevenson, the students studied the seven elements of design and put them to use. Art I gained its first experience in timed drawings, pencil and charcoal sketches and the color wheel and value scale. Together with the Art II and III classes they constructed ceramics on the wheel and by hand. Students also delved into the intricacies of sculpture. Art II students lived equally interesting lives with their projects in water color, acryllic, charcoal, pencil and sculpture. Art III was an in- dependent study course in which students selected their own areas of work. ART 13 Karla illustrates the efforts of all art students on the mural at Skogmos

Vocational classes at Chamberlain High School con- sisted of Ag I, II, and III, Home Ec I, advanced home ec, and multiple quarter long courses in child development, marriage and family, and bachelor living. Ag students were taught fun- damentals of farming. They examined seed to determine its quality, judged animals for breeding, and fixed various types of motors. Home economics students learned the basic cook- ing, sewing, and housekeeping skills. Courses in marriage taught the girls and boys what to expect in marital relations and how to run a home. Mrs. Emme and Mr. DeBoer super- vised the vocational department. Ag students use safety precautions, including protective goggles, when Mrs. Merry Emme Leonard DeBoer working with equipment. Sanitation in cooking is stressed by the Home Ec department. Matching plaids is a difficult task even with the experienced help of Mrs. Emme. HOME EC-AG 15
