Our Grimy Gallants While their fellow-students are struggling vainly with irregular verbs the boys of the vocational department are busily engaged with lathes or drafting pens. You see them now and then---stalwart Co-ops in black and orange jackets---capable individuals standing guard over blue prints set out to sun on the west side of the building---but should you de- sire to seek them in their native haunts repair to the gym, Wood shavings will crunch under your feet as you step into the wood shop. An indescrib- able smell of wood and fresh paint will assail your nostrils. Here, under the watchful eye of Mr. Gordon Julius, any number of useful and ornamental articles are made. On the vocational bill of fare, however, there are other subjects, namelyzdrafting, pat- tern making, vocational arithmetic, shop, and auto-mechanics. Page 20

There are spirited hasktball games in which contending teams engage in miniature tourneys while their classmates cheer wildly from the sidelines. Consequently, though our physical training depart- ment is overcrowded, it gives students an opportunity for healhful supervised exercise, at the same time in- stilling a genuine understanding of active sports.
