 3ncludtria -Arti INDUSTRIAL ARTS 9 “Study the mechanism of the seeder before you start to use it. Otherwise you may defeat the purpose of even the most useful of all new time-saving devices.” This admonition comes from Mr. Sleppy. The Industrial Arts 9 boys are instructed how to adjust the mechanism of the machine. INDUSTRIAL ARTS 8 In the grade 8 Industrial Arts class the pupils are wondering how to use the square. But oh! To the rescue is Mr. Sleppy to explain its use in relation to measuring metal or wood. This accurate tool has many figures on it. Be careful, boys! To learn the purpose of the numerals and the use of the square takes time. The many uses of the metal polished steel square are demon- strated in this class. INDUSTRIAL ARTS 7 “Steady there, Larry! Don't saw that board crooked,” says Mr. Sleppy, as he and the other Seventh grade boys watch Larry Kline try his hand at handling the saw. These boys will, with- out a doubt, become good contractors some day— if they heed the advice of their instructor. Of course the work of a carpenter requires more skill than just that of sawing.

ricuituraf C ourde AGRICULTURE 11-12 Benny Reed, with the advice of Mr. Sleppy, is demonstrating the use of the drill press, which is one of the most accurate means of drilling dif- ferent-sized holes. But why such a large appar- atus to bore one small hole? Only the Agriculture pupils can tell you. AGRICULTURE 9-10 Under the guidance of Mr. Sleppy, Leon Zimmerman, his classmates, and grade Nine boys are learning to handle the power saw. How convenient it will be when the boys learn to use the power machines without causing accidents! What these lads need is experience, but under supervision. Safety is a predominant factor in the instruction of the use of the school’s power equipment. INDUSTRIAL ARTS 11-12 What is a pipe threader? According to the expression on the lads’ faces this must require serious thought. The Eleventh and Twelfth grade boys are also curious to know as Mr. Sleppy is about to show them how this apparatus works. Many a pipe can be ruined if one is not careful and exact. This pipe threader is one of the machines the boys should be able to operate by the end of the term. Fourteen

I'W SCJ c ommercia tc our e BOOKKEEPING 11-12 “Is this a debit or a credit?” asks Paul Miller as Miss Moyer is ready to offer him as- sistance. Other class members are doing the same problems. When you see green work sheets, you know pupils are doing Bookkeeping, which re- quires accurate and neat work. SHORTHAND 11-12 “Write in Shorthand the brief forms—I, good, be, been, but, for, am, them, all—” says Miss Moyer to Jeanette Schaeffer and Marilyn Bal- thaser. The other class members are carefully eyeing the work of these girls to sec whether or not they are correct. When one is in a hurry, these ‘hooks’ are handy. Deciphering them is another story. TYPING 12 “Careful now. Look out! Don’t hit the wrong key,” warns Miss Moyer as she watches Betty Koenig test her typing skill. Betty’s classmates are also busily engaged in improving their speed and accuracy in this course. How discouraging it is to find for every error, you lose two points! Oh, well! That’s part of the technique. TYPING 11 If you can type without looking at the key- board, you’re good. Of course typing takes a lot of practice. Jeanette Schaeffer is trying her best to type by the sense of touch. Miss Moyer is always willing to give tips. But the juniors find there is more to the course than where one looks. Speed is a sure necessity before one can call herself an accomplished typist. Sixteen
