In study- ing the principles of design, Clothing I girls constructed pajamas and robes of cotton. Pressing and lining wool garments presented problems for Clothing II students, most of whom had never worked with wool before. Girls in Clothing III made two dress-up dresses. Most of them were of brocade, satin, velvet, or lace. To gain practical tailoring ex- perience. Clothing I girls made suits, coats, and skirts. Breakfast and lunch dishes and simple deserts, such as puddings and custards, delighted Foods I students. Girls in Foods II made more com- plicated dishes as they planned family meals. By comparing food val- ues, they learned to judge which brand of food was best for the price.

Proud and excited, the girls operated a tea room and in itcd guests to eat nutritious and attracti c limches.

Show Boys ' Drawing Skills It ' s neat! , Is it for real? , and Did the woodshop boys make this? ' ' exclaimed .students as they spied the display of articles in the main lobby. Creating all kinds of things from chessboards and fruit bowls to tables and chests of drawers, the boys in vocational wood shop turned raw pieces of wood into beautiful, finished objects. In other ' ocational shops machinists worked with metal on su( h machines as the drill press, milling machine, and metal lathes, used precision instruments, and made small tools of the machinists trade. Student electricians learned to wire a room, to repair household ap- pliances and electrical machines, to construct aircraft receivers and stereo hi-fi sets. During the Christmas holidays a new $10,000 printing press replaced the old one. On this press and on other equipment, the print .shop boys ran off the Alltold and printed forms and programs for the school city. In the only high school print shop in .St. Joseph County, vocational printing students designed projects and hand set the type for them. In vocational machine drafting, boys drew de- tailed plarts of machines .showing three dimensions and sometimes designed their own machines to meet particular needs. Other advanced drafting students drew house plans and constructed balsa wood models of their houses. .As boys prepared to take more advanced ocational courses, elexen- girls im-aded the predominately male shops to learn the .skills that thev will need in their own homes: reading gas meters, rcfinishing furniture, and replacing damaged electrical plugs. This home man- agement class, under the direction of Mr. Milt Ross, also computed electricit) ' costs, spliced wires, and replaced liroken panes of glass. ORH I PRI SS. Tc ' l)liiik in xoc.Tiioii,
