Irwin Martin Sam Wilde Frank VVilde Frank Campbell Manual Arls Department OINERY, pattern-making, Wood-turn- ing, cabinet-making, metal-working, and mechanical drawing are carried on in the workrooms of the manual arts de- partment of West Division. It is not nec- essary to follow these lines of work com- pletely, as manual art subjects can be used as electives for other courses. They are interesting and diverting, especially to those who have much reading and studying to do in other subjects. A person who excels in this work can usually make good in cabinet-making, carpentry, metal-worlo ing, and drafting after leaving school. Physical Training Deparlmenl' HYSICAL training affords diversion from the routine of a school day. Two years of gymnasium are re- quired unless a doctor's permit is obtained. Advanced gymnasium courses are provided for those Juniors and Seniors who wish to continue. Nlr. Hansen supervises the boys in ap- paratus work and in different sports. This gives them valuable training and develops in them a love for sports. The girls engage in apparatus work, dancing, volleyball, basketball, and other sports under the guidance of Miss Peters. This year the girls also gave a dance pageant. Elsie Peters William Hanson Page Twenty-one
