Seek and ye shall find. Each member has learned that only through diligent search can the why and how, and the when and where of things be obtained. This department, without a head, functions, begining with the seventh grade. Ours is the clearing house of all gfloom from all departmentsg con- sequently each member of the department is happy in service. Never do we get so busy that we cannot find time for one more kind deed, and are hon- ored when requests are directed to us. May our department continue to thrive and develop at the expense of our energy and enthusiam. ART The students in the Art department have been aiming throughout the year for the growth in their appreciation of' the beautiful, and various problems worked out in color, outline and design have served to strengthen this appreciation. One of the unusual aspects of the work this year has been the paint- ing of Christmas gifts, such as toys, sewing cabinets, magazine racks and little novelties made in woodshop. The work made an excellent project for practical application of design. A sale of the finished products resulted in a considerable sum which helped the fund of the new Junior High School. In addition to the Christmas sale the art classes designed some very lovely Christmas cards, and with the efficient help of the commercial dep- artment in mimeographing these designs, they were able to supply the demand for them. These proceeds also went into the school fund. This department has enjoyed taking part in the advertizing schemes for the year's productions. Posters have been supplied for the football and basketball games the operetta and all plays put on during the year. WOOD SHOP The Wood Shop is located in a separate building adjoining the Auto and Machine Shop and is capable of handling from twenty to thirty boys. A number of 'articles have been made in Wood Shop this year, in- cluding small furniture, household articles, and toys. These were decorat- ed by the Art students and sold at a profit for the benefit of school and student body funds. The boys in the shop are allowed to divide their time between work of their o-wn and work for various school departments. Cabinets, tablesg, and book cases have been made for the school rooms, bleachers and jump- ing standards for the athletic field. At present the Auto and Wood Shop boys are working on plans tof enlarge the Wood Shop and Blacksmith Shop. Part of the work is already under construction and in future years We hope to be able to acccom- modate a greater number of students. 42211-

These classes group them- selves into several divisions- If one were to visit the classes in food preparation he might find the girls preparing or serving breakfast or dinner. In these classes the girls not only learn the uses of the various foods but also how to prepare and serve them. Part of the time each week is devoted to house- keeping. Here the girls learn to perform all of the tasks necessary for keeping house. In the clothing department the girls have made garments of all kinds. Before making the various types of garments they study the materials suit- able for each, and the cost of the ready-made garment in comparison to the home-made articles. They also learn how to renovate and repair clothing. In the nursing class the girls learn how to care for patients, how and what to feed to them, how to take their pulse and temperature, how to clean, disinfect, ventilate and care for the patient's room. Here they have also learned how to give first-aid treatment when necessary. Probably one of the most interesting classes is the one in Home Furnishing. After studying the various types of houses, the girls each drew a plan 'fora house. Then color was studied in relation to painting, papering and furnishing the house. The cost of completely furnishing each house was determined. During the year each girl made several useful as well as decorative household articles, such as pillows, scarfs and boudoifr or bridge lamp shades. MECHANICAL DRAWING The greatest interest is being shown in Mechanical Drawing this year- Practically all the desks are filled for seven periods, making a total' en- rollment of about one hundfred and thirty students. This enrollment includ- es students from both Junior and Senior High Schools. The first year the fundamentals of Mechanical Drawing are learned and, at the end of the year, simple working drawings are made- The second year cabinet and machine drawings are taken up, and blueprints are worked out for the shops... w The third and fourth years a student may take up either advanced machine drawing or house planning. MACHINE SHOP The Vocational High school admits any boy or girl who is fourteen years of age or older and desirous of pursuing an intensive vocational training. It is the aim of the school, besides the fitting for useful employ- ment, to prepare the individual for the largest service possible. . In the machine shop the boys have been able to accomplish many tlnngs. They have designed and constructed parts for the school busses, flower stands, and many other articles. Two more bus frames were con- structed durlng the year on which new busses will be built next summer. -fzoj-
