.L .A INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Our new building was built for utility, as well as books. You can see this when you study the floor plan. You will notice that three rain wings extend off the lobby. These are the Senior High wing, the Junior High wing, and the Noisy wing. In this last one are found, of course, the noisy activities: music, physical education, agriculture, and industrial arts. In the shop have been placed lathes, sanders, and all types of saws, all for the benefit of those who are adept in making things with tools and their hands This is Mr. Frank's domain. Here he brings out the talents of his students, and shows how these talents may be used. Also this year, Mr. Frank has been working on the finishing of the case for the electronic organ which was bought with the proceeds of the Organ Ftmd. It will be a beautiful addition to the auditorium. LIBRARY DEPARTMENT This year it is not uncoxmnon to see Mrs. I-iartle running around in an apron. She has good reason to. In the Library is a place where she can really do a good repair job on damaged books. The Library has many new features. The books are the same but oh, the surroundings are so different! There are big tables, little tables, round tables, comfortable chairs, and noiseless cork floors. The Library is really the quiet room of the school, kept expressly for reading and doing reference work. 20

ART DEPARTMENT Down the Junior High wing, the door next to the middle bus loop entrance, is the room in which the many artistic features of our school are hatched. It's the Art room, presided over by Miss Oaks. It is she who instructs the students in the ways of the artistic, and helps them work out the ideas that they have. Besides all this, she and her helpers have charge of the display cases, the Nativity scene, and the gif' 5 cafeteria decorations. The Art room is only a single room, but it keeps the whole school beautiful. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Another feature of this new building is the Home Economics Suite. This section is complete with kitchen, sewing room, and laundry room, all that Mrs. Bottone needs to prepare her students for their future life as homemakers. Already she has supervised her girls as they put on a tea for the faculty. Besides show- ing how well they can do in the kitchen, they had a good chance to show off the kitchen itself, as well as the other rooms. They have reason to be proud. 19

Miss Mary Lou Wolfley, Girl's Physical Education. Mr. Edward Schreiber, Jr., Boy's.Phvs1cal Education Mr. Raymond Southard, Boy's PfLVS1C31 Edllcaf-1011 PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Showers!!! The battle cry of Coach rings out and echoes among the rafters of the huge, new gym, as the students drop the basket- balls and race for the locker room. The Physical Education teachers won a long, hard battle this year when we moved into the new school. Now we don't have to go 'tn our next class dripping sweat. Now its a oool, clean athlete who emerges from the locker room after class. Also this year we have, added to the previous teacher squad, a Girl 's Physical Educa- tion teacher. Miss Wolfley's arrival has changed a lot of things. The gir1's locker room is now supervised, and we modest girls are now at ease in a gym suit. The boys are still in the capable hands of Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Southard, and even Mr. Davies got in the act during the football season. Our Athletics Department is now most complete and adequate for the times. , X!
