Practical skills taught through industrial arts Under the heading of Industrial Edu- cation, many new fields were introduced this year. An elective course, it provided the experience necessary for a future vocation. Through the handicraft of General Shop students at North Campus, toy boxes, chairs, and magazine racks were provided for five different kindergarten classes. The class also offered drafting and elect ricity. For one student, mechanical drawing provided the opportunity to draw plans for the field house addition at Worth- man Field. Woodworking classes introduced the use of veneer and laminated materials. Cereal bowls were made out of plastic fiberglass. One project of the advanced woodworking class was making Danish modern salt shakers. Mr. VanArsdel converted the visiting team dressing room into a graphic arts and printing room, which will be ready next fall. Cabinets for the room were made by the advanced woodworking classes.

Girls ' Glee Club enlarges music department An enlarged vocal department was strengthened by the addition of the Girls ' Glee club, robes for the sopho- more Training Choir, and a nineteen member ensemble, The Brave Generation. During the weeks before Christmas, the Concert Choir recorded for WOWO radio station, and presented the annual Christmas program. Highlighting the winter months The Brave Generation placed first in the Dis- trict Music Contest and went on to re- ceive first place at the State Contest. Choir members created solos and dance routines for the spring Pop Con- cert, illustrating the robust spirit of the Roaring Twenties; the bounce of the Swinging Sixties; and the frolicking majesty of Camelot. Marking the end of school, the choir performed for Baccalaureate and Com- mencement signifying the end or the be- ginning of their education.
