Vocational Classes Helped Them The Industrial Arts Department offers useful and challenging courses in general shop, mechanical drawing, woodworking, printing, machine shop and welding. General shop, a course for freshmen and sophomores, is an orientation to the different facets of industrial arts. Mechanical drawing is intended for stu- dents who plan to go on to engineering school. It is a two semester course in which some architectural drafting as well as projections and prospective is studied. An advanced course in mechanical drawing is also offered. Woodworking is a two semester course in advanced carpentry. Each student must complete a project and learn how to use, re- pair, and care for power tools. Printing, a course for juniors and seniors, teaches elementary hand composition and press work. Machine shop, also offered to juniors and seniors, provided an introduction to the basic principles of layout, bench work, and use of the drill, press, milling machine, and the metal lathe. Welding teaches the students the funda- mentals of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, brazing, and electric arc welding. This is a one year course for juniors and seniors.

Emphasis Was Placed On Physical Fitness A two-year course in physical education is required for every girl at C. H. S. Fresh- man and sophomore girls participate in var- ious athletic activities each semester. The first semester is devoted to learning and prac- ticing the laws and plays of basketball and volleyball. Tumbling skills, wiffle ball, bad- minton, and ping-pong claim the second se- mester for girls in physical education. Two years of physical education is com- pulsory for boys who do not participate in any of Clinton High School’s competitive athletic programs. The two semesters each year are spent in learning the skills of volleyball, bas- ketball, relays, weight lifting, and wrestling. Miss Dowdy is the girls’ division instruc- tor and Mr. Svyantek and Mr. Izor conduct boys’ classes in gym. .......52-2-3-4.......53-2-3-4........54-2-3-4.......
