In pleasant weather we enjoyed the short hikes outsideg during the winter and on rainy days we crowded into the tunnel. There are the four Hoors in the Annex, the basement houses the print shop and cab- inet making shop, the others with a few exceptions contain the Business Educa- tion rooms.

The Farr Building, at the corner of Linden Street, is used for the overhow of the English department. The Mack Building is the center of home making at Allentown High School. Here students are taught the arts of sewing, cooking, and home manage- ment. These buildings, however, will soon be torn down to make way for a new and up-to-date home economics center. page eight .al

Linden Street Wing The Linden Street Annex, located next to the Little Palestra, is the newest and most up-to-date building on the campus. The basement holds the welding shop, the hrst Hoor the machine shop, the third Hoot the electrical shop, and the top Hoor, the drawing rooms. The band and choir rooms have also been transferred to the new building. Remaining space is taken up by the wrestling gym and boys, locker TOOIN. Vocational Annex Allentown High School's vocational annex is located opposite the Palestra. The automobile shop is located on the first lloorg the carpentry and plumbing shops on the second floor. An academic student visiting these spacious shops might con- sider all the noise and confusion very dis- tracting, however, to the vocational-tech- nical student, it is an orderly and neces- sary part of learning automobile repair, building, and construction trades. Brick and Auto Body Shop To the rear of the Main Building we enter a long one story brick building that houses at one end a Brick Shop and at the other an Auto Body Repair and Paint Shop. The unusual thing is that this building was partly converted, rebuilt and added to by the boys of our shops as a vocational project. This is part of our vocational training program and affords a practical classroom for training in these areas of industry. page nine
