INDUSTRIAL ARTS Next year this high school will have an entirely new and different course starting. This new course is industrial arts. Although it is more for boys, girls can also take it if they want to. This course has a great importance. For many years stu- dents have graduated from here nd very few have gone on to college. Well, now for the benefit of those who don't go on to school this course will give them occupational training in one of the subjects the course offers. Maybe to others it will only encourage them to go further on to college and learn more about the course they specialized in. No matter which way you put it, it's certainly going to help everyone who takes it one way or another. The course will consist of four subjects which are: 1. General woodmaking which includes c rpentry, cabinet miking, patternmaking etc., 2. General Metals which includes bench, cold bent, forged, welded and machined metal work, 3. General electricity which includes the theory and manipulation activi- ties pert ining to electric current, its nature, generation, transmission and control, small motors and home appliances, 4. Transportation, or internal combustion engines,boat and other models, bicycle maintenance and repair, and the theory con- struction, repair and maintenance of various types of internal combustion engines. Of course more subjects may bo added at any time but these four are state reauired. This Industrial Arts course is going to be set up in the basement of the school house. To some people, maybe they think that this is going to cost a lot of money. It is, but stop and think of the tuition we v;on't have to pay. In a few years, with the’ students we hope to have from other schools, the course will be paying for itself. Maybe before we know it they'll be getting Homo Economics for the girls, and when they do this school will really be something to be proud of. The Editor
