INDUSTRIAL ARTS Mr. Davis instructs boys in welding. Ac james Wood there are many skills which may be learned by those boys who are interested in using their hands, plus'tools, to do some kind of creative work. By the use of saws, welclers, and numerous other machines and tools, many homes have had finished pieces of furniture added to their interiors. The people who make this possible are the three vocational agriculture teachers and Mr. Duvall, the shop tmcher.

ART Mitzi puts the finishing touches on her water color painting as it is viewed with interest. The purpose of the Art Department is two-fold. It is hoped that, through its ace tivities, the student will de- velop his own creative ability, and will come to make use of this new-found ability in his leisure time. To aid in developing his creativity, the student is given the opportunity of exploring many different mediums. Among these are pencil, charcoal, ink, tempera paint, water color, cut paper, linoleum block printing, and variations of these. Color theory is pre- sented also. Even students who don't mke art can find on display pictures of subjects in which they have an interest. An important addition to the Art Department this year is a clay kiln, which makes possible the exciting activity of clay sculpture, in- cluding firing and glazing. The other main objective of the program is to instill in the stu- dent, a love of beauty in all its form. A study of art, from primitive times down to the present day, is made with an illustrated text as the guide. This phase of the program culminates in a tour of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington, where students may view first hand the many priceless art treasures on display. 118 Posters for club letin boards, and grams are often bility of the art displays, bul- assembly pro- the responsi- classes. 1 .
