liiiliistrial Arts §liop Immediately after lunch. Bingo took me to the industrial arts shop to look in on the various classes there. I was rather doubtful as to the advisability of entering this building because I could hear hor- rible grinding and screeching noises is- suing forth. He hastened to assure me, however, that the noises indicated there were many interesting things being ac- complished within those brick walls. He spoke proudly of the extensive ad- ditions to the tools and supplies in both the metal and woodworking shops this year. So many young men were seeking training for defense industries that the enrollment increast ' d considerably, he said. We saw first a serious group of high school boys taught by Harry Darr and Jewel Myers. Drafting seemed to have their attention. In an adjoining room was a class of college girls doing complicated liaudwork with Miss Fisher looking ou. Most of tile noises were coming from tiie woodworking and metal shops on the ni;iiii floor. We gazed admiringly at the students — for the most part industrial arts majors and minors — as they operated difficult pre- cision machines. They ' ll soon be applying wliat they are learning now. predicted Bingo. THE INSTRUCTORS D. N. Valk, Jewel Myers, David Crozier [18]

On the wav over, 1 noticed the clothes Studying an original painting in the College collection. the girls bat around in on the campus, and came to th(- conclusion that college girls today are unusually sensible and their scn- sibleness brings out their charm. For in- stance, nearly all of them wore tiieir low- heeled shoes, anklets, skirts, sweaters and neat little collars, but strangely enough they ' ve lost no individuality. Informality is the keynote and they bear it out in every respect — including their well-brushed, cas- uallv curled hair. The camera pierces the blue haze in the smoker. [17
