W I94'5lC'NI YE CRUCIBLE. EAST HIGH Mechanical Eraming Ezpartment I 'dv These courses are outlined with the purpose of developing in the student the ability of visualizing quickly and accurately, and of thinking in terms of three dimensionsg of arousing in him a desire to increase his power of expressing his ideas, and of giving him a thorough knowledge of the universal industrial language. A pupil may advance as rapidly as his ability permits. All pupils who are pursuing a four year course in drawing are required to take two years of mechanical drawing, after which they may elect archi- tecture or machine drawing. Exceptions to this rule allow girls and juniors or seniors who are just entering this field of work to be given a general knowledge of the Work. The girls after mastering a few of the elementary principles of orthographic projection plan a house and furnish itg also planning the landscape gardening of the lot. All through the architectural course the aesthetic principles and the economical practice of good house design are strongly emphasized. Fred Schuler, an advanced pupil in Architectural Drawing, has demon- strated the practical side of this Work by designing and drawing a complete set of plans for a little six-room Dutch Colonial house located at 911 Oak- wood Avenue. The house is strictly modern in every respect. Very few errors were found while executing his dsign. Gorden Pickens, another Architecture pupil, is preparing the plans for a one-car frame garage which his father will build. 24

IMGAYGNI YE CRUCIBLE EAST HIGH Ziaume Qlfnunumins Bzpartment The Home Economics Department of East High School is under the competent direction and supervision of Miss Elizabeth Bone and Miss Martha Fleming. In the cooking department 52 girls have been enrolled. Divided into groups of four, the girls serve meals each week under a hostess. Pretty hats and dresses are made by the 125 girls in the sewing department, the display of which is held at the end of each semester. Miss Bone has one homemaking class of 24 girls. One laboratory period a week is held in which the girls make luncheon sets, table covers, dresser scarfs and pillow slips for department use. One of the most interesting features of the department is thepretty little three-roomed apartmnt adjoining, which was furnishd by the home- making class. It consists of a dining room, breakfast room and bedroom with bath adjoining. The dining room is furnished with a walnut Sheraton dining room suite with chairs upholstered in blue leather, and a 54-inch rectangular table and buEet. The bedroom has an ivory bed, table, chairs, ivory chest of drawers and two blue rag rugs which make it a very attractive room. W The breakfast room is of special interest in that it was furnished by the boys of the new Manual Training Department under the supervision of Mr. Brophy. The dining room is both useful and beneficial as through it the pupils learn the art of a finely appointed dinner and the niceties that contribute to its success. The girls learn home nursing through the use of the bedroom, learn how to make beds properly even when the occupant is present and perform other household duties in the best manner. The students showed their interest and enthusiasm by giving a candy sale two months ago, the proceeds of which went towards the purchasing of pictures and bric-a-brac for the apartment. 23
