With their faces taped up. enabling them to speak, breathe, hear, or maybe all three, are several Indus- trial .Art members awaiting tbeir initiation. Giving to the needy was first rule Giving was the first rule of tlie Indus- trial Arts Club ' s year. Needy families were blessed by the club and the Hartford City Jaycees when a drive for canned foods at Thanksgiving was started. Stu- dents were asked to donate the cans, and later prizes were given to those who had donated four cans of food. Fun was also supplied for the members when a hockey game in Fort Wayne was attended by members of the club. The Fort Wayne Komets provided for the evening when they took on the Port Huron team. Chuck Ross was the top winner of the Industrial Arts ' crazy bowl. This annual activity was in the form of bowling the first game in regular style, and then lived up to the name by the last two games being bowled with rules made up by the mem- bers. Initiation into the organization was an experience for some. Ed Townsend, initi- ate, was blindfolded and put into the trunk of a car. then driven down to the cleat- house. Upon arri ina back, members found it difficult to get Ed out of the trunk. Finally, much to Ed s relief, an es- cape route was found. Industrial . n Club 13
