VOCATIONAL CLASSES ARE OUR Ivan Graves diligently sands the rough spots on the board to obtain the desired texture for his shop project. One of the agricultural students helps harvest the corn field owned and farmed by the high school. ? x. 24 Vocational classes and organizations are important to the AHS general program. Many farm projects were carried out on a practical scale by each mem- ber during the year. Not only were these profit- able financially, but also they provided the super- vised experience needed to make successful farmers. Industrious “shop” students develop their talents in numerous fields—wood, foundry, welding, sheet metal, and the print shop. Under the careful supervision of Miss Mary C. Wood, shorthand characters slowly begin to make sense, and before the year is ended students are “taking letters” quickly and accurately. By the end of the school year, typing has advanced from that famous “hunt and peck” method to a very fast and accurate system. Sometimes home economics classes can be fun. This year some of the girls made stuffed animals. Others made clothes that they can model for their friends and relatives. ere 3 iad é eS ee uae 8 Fowm oats aan ™ BR, em a, ee ” Bill Mertens, Larry Wilks, Larry Springer, and Roland Seiler raise quality swine as part of F.F.A. projects.

ANE ARTS INSPIRE CREATIVITY Mike Brown, first chair trumpet, represents the talents of the entire AHS band with a difficult solo. 26 There is beauty in everything though not everyone can see it. Some see a lovely picture in a “deserted house settling sideways into the grass of an old road.” Others see an unsightly shack that should be torn down. The study of art gives one that appreciation of the beautiful things, both natural and manufac- tured. The band has participated at basketball and football games, patriotic programs, and the Christmas pro- gram. It has added color to our games and given greater enthusiasm to the spectators with its rousing marches. The band did excellent formation marching, and the spectators seemed well pleased with the twirling accomplishments of the several majorettes. This year’s chorus sang for school assembly programs, women’s clubs in Auburn, and the honor banquet; and also attended the state chorus contest. The chorus presented its annual spring show, “Spring Fever”, with great success. The chorus, under the able direction of Mr. Phil Weck, prac- tices for one of their interesting chorales. Art students transfer their personalities. into their modern creations. Here stu- dents are making ceramics and drawing portraits of their fellow students.
