THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE. INDUSTRIAL ARTS THE March of Time and the brains of men have brought numerous changes in the industrial arts course at Manxial. When auto mechanics was first started under the supervision of Mr. Charles F. Willsea, in 1920. there were seventyhve pupils in the class. During thc past year an average of one hundred eighty students per day attended, proof of the growing popularity of the course. In 1920 each hoy spent two hours each day in the machine shop as a requirement for graduation. Now it is an elective and on the prepared subject basis. When Mr. Thomas G. Sievers, instructor in printing and woodwork, came to Manual in 1931, there were only thirtyfthree students in the woodwork class: one hundred ninetyffour boys elected it during the second semester of the 1934-35 school year. All school needs of the past year were met by one hundred fifty aspiring printers directed by Mr. Pease and Mr. Sievers. Manual boys will remain always in debt for the invaluable instruction they received in this department. xb ?5kQX. -. KV r -.. xxx. . sxw . . r Q, ,K ' Y I. I ' 1 'II .. .. ..

HOME ECONOMICS THE home economics department offered cooking, sewing, and homefmaking classes under the A 'supervision of Miss Eleanor Hall and Miss Edna Rhen. The real interest of girls in their future home life was shown by the enrollment of two hundred and fifty. Formerly, home economics was based on the study of sewing and cooking alone. Two years ago, a new class in homefmaking was inaugurated for seniors. The aim of the course was to prepare girls for the future by conducting an intensive analysis of planning, furnishing, and Hnancing a home. It is always necessary for a woman to know how to plan good, nourishing meals, budget her time, plan her work, take care of the home and children, and to preserve foods. Our cooking classes proved beneficial in that way. Women take much pride in their appearance and realize the value of dressing well. The clothing instructors have aided Manual girls in choosing the styles and materials best suited for them, individually. and how to dress for any occasion. TO MAKE CLOTHING IS AN ART.

'W' F FLAT. STRIKE YOUR C. MUSIC MUSIC today occupies a different position than forty years ago. In 1894, when Manual was built. the whole school assembled weekly to sing under the direction of Mr. Wilberfcii'cc Whiteman, Paul Whiteman's father. Group singing continued until 1920 when Irene L. Tidball came to Manual as the Hrst music teacher. The glee club then consisted of 45 members. Musical growth continued until last year when over two hundred people participated in vocal work. A mandolin club, organized about 1909, was the first instrumental group, according to avail- able records. Miss Tidball organized a seventeenfpiece orchestra in 1920. In 1925, when Miss Eva McKelvey came to Manual, there was a 46 piece orchestra. then largest in the high schools. With the coming of Mr. Francis in 1930, Manuals tenfpiece band jumped to thirtyfeight mem' bers. The March of Time then saw Mr, Hunt and later Mr. Gardner in charge of instrumental organization. Today. with hundreds of students taking music. the ideal of a participating, as well as listen' ing public seems approaching realization. STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER.
