Giving the boys a basic training in industrial arts is Mr. Mark Stewart, Shop instructor at CHS. Here, he gives his freshman class a demonstration in the use of a buzz saw. PRACTICAL ARTS PROVIDE TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE Need something repaired? The shop manages to fall heir to nearly all repair jobs around CHS. Boys who take Shop are taught the uses of many tools, those which they will use often and those they may never use again. But, through this basic training they learn to use tools that they will use at work and at home. Tempting odors, the hum of sewing machines, and the sound of a washer give one room a homey effect. In Home Economics, a two year course, girls learn home management and child care as well as cooking and sewing. Mrs. Edith Marshall, Home Economics teacher, pre- pares the girls of CHS for their future as home- makers by instructing them in cooking, sewing, child care, and home management.
