. . . the Hum of a Saw Elementary drafting and some power tools were used by Shop I pupils to make lamps, gun racks, and tip-ups. These students also worked with metal and plastic to produce letter holders, paperweights, and knives. The advanced students in Shop II applied their knowledge to making serving trays, canoe paddles, bowls, and tables. Welding with arc and gas welders, and working with the metal lathe were some of the activities of third-year shop students, while fourth-year students applied their mathematical knowledge to drafting. New tools including a spindle sander, power hack saw and a metal band saw were added to the shop department this year.

n Always Be Applied Ski Spree was the theme of Vicki's corner during a merchandising unit. Tough pancakes, raw cake, and burnt rolls may not be a very auspicious start for the girls in Home Economics, but practice (usually) makes perfect. The first semester in some Home Ec. classes was spent in making dresses, suits, and other wearing apparel. Home Ec. Ill and IV students had one month of sewing. The rest of the year was spent in studying foods and nutrition, meal preparation (for large numbers) and an area of the class's choice. This year, senior students had courses in Home Management, Merchandising, and Child Care. During the merchandising unit, the girls set up store window displays in the Home Ec. room. A Red Cross course in Home Nursing was offered this year for both Home Ec. Ill and IV students Home Ec pupils deal daily with danger. Watch out for the ladder, Joan! First year students prove that they can make a meal fit for a king (or a teacher).

. . . the of an Axe Ring Drafting is complicated, especially if you’re left- handed, like Mike Boyd. Scalpel, please. Taking apart a chain saw proved to be a delicate operation for the boys in Timber Manage- ment. Forest management, land conservation, and surveying were studied by pupils in Timber Manage- ment this year. During its second year in existence, the class also learned how to fix small engines and use chain saws, pruning saws, planting bars, and tree marking equipment. When weather permitted, the boys went out into the woods where they pruned trees, differentiated profitable from unprofitable trees, and practiced various planting and cutting techniques. During the winter months, talks were given by various experts in forestry. Herb Post, DNR, lectured on fire suppression, Gerald Spoerl addressed the class about the harvesting of timber, and speeches were given by various representatives of chain saw com- panies on the proper care of this equipment. 29
