Beginning with basic classes, boys who are interested and who have the ability may continue in advanced work. By completing industrial arts courses, boys may pre- pare for a useful, practical daily life. Mechanical drawing teaches freshmen how to put on paper the geometric forms which will be used in later courses. Basic electricity covers both theory and practical work. These students build electric motors and electro-magnets. In beginning woodworking boys make shelves and magazine racks. Advanced students build desks, tables, and cabinets. Metal and machine shops teach basic metal work- ing skills. The boys learn to weld and to operate a lathe, and advanced classes make things out of metal. Juniors and seniors may take auto mechanics, in which they learn to maintain and repair automobiles. Building trades class members perform tasks such as constructing walls and windows, and laying blocks and floors. Three years of art are offered to enable students to develop and extend their creative abilities. In the first year course students study the basic principles of art and design and learn to apply them in their work. Using media such as ink, tempra paints, charcoal, and colored pencils, the beginning art students sketch outdoor scenery and still life. Ad- vanced art students also work with ceramics, and use water color and oils to paint portraits, scenery, and still life. Ron Klotz and Barney Beer remove the tail pipe from a car in their auto shop class.
