as Its a Woman s World More and more females are getting involved in carpentry which was predominantly a male area of study. Mr. Brackett, who has been teaching for 13 years, stated the reason for this, ““More girls want to know how to do things around the house.”” That doesn’t mean girls are taking over it only means girls and boys can work together. Dana Hudson, Laura Mayes, and Linda Randall, all sophomores, remarked, “‘It’s fun being in class with a bunch of boys, because they help us out a lot.” Woodrow Brackett, sophomore, commented on the situation, ‘’As long as girls do their work, I’m glad to have them in class with me.’ There’s something special about a class where everyone wants to be involved. Mr. Brackett thinks, ‘Carpentry is one of the greatest fields there is.”’ Girl carpenters are rare, Laura Mayes is of the few.
