K Slum CLUB Again we have some to the end ot our soheol year of 1935 through 1939. The trek was a most enjoyable one for members of the Sketch Club and we feel that meh has been accomplished. This season we had a greater denand for mechanical drafting: although we carrled eu with some commercial art, sign palntlng and architectural drawing. leach was done ln the WAY of lin!! 51 Prnt lith our modern blue print machine, we were able te lake lessons for all the classes where they were needed to carry on the work of teaching. Space will not permit our going into detail about the most ln- terestlng phase of work done by the students this term. It Wll the actual design of a punch press. The same students who designed lt made all the parts and assembled lt in the machine shop. This press will be used in one of the shops cl' the school. llany other useful articles have been designed end made by other students. What greater feelings or satisfaction can a student cbt!!-ll Uh!! seeing his design put into practical work? Although there were not nany students doing commercial art and sign work, we, neverthelellu were able to do all that was demanded of us. The advertising of the Roller Skating Party, Christmas decorations and the Parents' Night. was some of our work. It must be said here that our commercial art work was well handled. The results were seen ln cur Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter issues of the Edlscnlan. Some members entered the Safety Poster Contest sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce ci' Buffalo. Gerald llccarthy was e winner of a 53.50 second prlse, for which we offer our congratulations.
