Boys Develop Skills ln Industrial Arts To combine creative opportunity with practicality is the object of the industrial arts. department. Here boys develop dexterity and skill with machinery and tools as they produce anything from jewelry to hand-tooled saddles. The three classes - metalcraft, woodwork and crafts - provide chances for creativity in different forms and materials. The handsome and useful objects made by students were ex- hibited in the front hall periodically. Mechanical drawing, another phase of in- dustrial arts, stressed the importance of accu- racy as the students executed complicated drawings of parts and machinery. Unfortunately, industrial arts and other non-solid courses are popular with some stu- dents who are simply looking for easy credit. They soon discover that one may even fail a non-solid. To pass requires work and a certain amount of skill in the chosen field. JL - 1 . .1-W L Nay. .:,i. .

DESJARDINS Fashion drawing EDITH NIBLO Drawing and Painting Preparatory to sketching from live models, these students from Mr, Herman Casagranda's art class bring their drawing boards to the front hall where they sketch a copy of Michaelangelo's David on the first floor landing. Mr, Casagrande will look at the finished products and offer helpful sug- gestions for the improvement of their work. Art Classes Promote Students' Creativity When a student becomes bogged-down with the usual class lectures and homework, he may feel the urge to be creative. The art department offers just such an opportunity for those artistically inclined. East has art courses ranging from Drawing and Painting for relaxation to Commercial art for those in- terested in advertising as a career. A major in art must include one semester of Clay Modeling plus one year of Commercial art and three elective semesters. This year stu- dents in the art classes were able to express themselves in many forms of work, Copper- enameling was popular with students, who de- signed attractive jewelry, trays, boxes and other useful objects. The Drawing and Painting classes often sketched their classmates who served as live models, and in some cases the resemblance was excellent, Commercial art students learned the process of silk-screening by which many posters for East high functions are made. They then designed and printed many of these posters as requested. For more advanced stu- dents with art experience, creative art was offered. ln this course students were left to their own devices in designing and choice of media.
