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. .

GLENN Modern dance Skill in gymnastics is shown here by Jack Zabriskie and Ed Reilly as they join hands on the trampoline for a double front flip. These boys in the apparatus gym class meet every day to perfect their co-ordination on the many pieces of equipment. Physical Education Brings Relaxation Often the student becomes bogged-down with homework and classroom routine. One refreshing way to relieve mental fatigue is physical exercise. One year of physical edu- cation and one semester of health are required at East high school. The alternative for boys is the ROTC pro- gram in which marching and drilling replace basketball and baseball. The gym classes offer students a chance to improve their co-ordination and agility while enjoying popular sports. Girls are taught ball- room dancing in addition to the basic skills of golf, tennis, basketball, volleyball and other sports. ln both boys' and girls' physical educa- tion, classes often form teams and organize tournaments, Health courses last one semester and in- clude a study of the human body, tips on good grooming and a six-weeks' course in first aid. Apparatus gym is offered to boys with gymnastic skill or interest. The trampoline, rings, mats, high and low bars, parallel bars and side horse are available to the boys during their gym period, The utmost care is taken by teachers and students alike to prevent acci- dents.
