Boys were given the opportunity to select an item to make, purchase the wood for that item, and construct it. In the beginning woods class, a majority of the hoys made bird- houses.

LIBRARY-ART Two new faces—two old programs. Mrs. Pat Montgomery, the librarian, was the first new face. Her goal this year was to reorganize the books in order to make them more accessible to the students. Another addition to the library was a Xerox copying machine.
