Here boys learn how to use tools and to acquire manual skills which might be useful to them later on in life. The three classes-metalcraft, woodwork and crafts- provide chances for creativity with differ- ent forms of materials. Those who participate in these classes develop manual skills by designing and turning out their own individual projects which may include anything from hand-tooled leather saddles to wooden cabinets. These useful objects are dis- played in the front halls periodically. Mechanical drawing, another phase of industrial arts, is often elected by students who plan to be architects, engineers, or contractors. This course stresses the importance of accuracy and neatness in the drawing of complicated parts and machinery. Merrill E. Adams Metalwork Arthur M. Bragg Stage 4 ,-v Raymond R.

Art Projects Students Into Creative Fields Creativity and originality are stressed in the art classes offered at East. In the drawing and painting classes, students first become acquainted with the tools and methods of artists. Later they study styles of painting and are encouraged to adopt an original approach to their work. In the ceramics classes, students let their imaginations guide the formation of the clay images. Commer- cial art, creative art, and fashion drawings are also on the curriculum for art students. No definite artistic abilities are required to enroll in an art course, but a student should have an interest in the field and enjoy creating with his hands. A special branch of the art department is the art service class which does special projects for the school and assists with stage sets and scenery.
