RESS BASIC SKILLS Who likes to talk shop? Who are the craftsmen in school? Why the .boys in in the industrial arts course! Asthe tradesmen of tomorrow create many functional a s well as ornamental objects, the rythmic sounds of ham- mersbanging, saws buzzing, and ma- chineshumming, penetrate the build- ing. Experience is the best teacher, and it is through their own experiences of building useful things and of using both simple and complicated machines that the boys learn the mechanical arts. C .C .'s boys are learning the mechani- cal arts to reach their goal of a secure future. Lying ahead of the future craftsmen are many vital and impor- tant positions. To increase the stu- dent's chance of securing a reliable occupation, C.C. 's industrial arts department offers the students draft- ing, metalwork, woodwork, and ma- chine shop. The boys are talking shop today for a better world tomorrow. Left: Shop students find that drafting takes precision. Below: Mr. Wigent shows Joe I-Iubertz how to use a band saw 15

HOME EC.. AND INDUSTRIAL AR Above: Tsk! Tsk! Miss Martin it s not polite to use your fingers A man's home is his castle --or at least that's what the little woman is supposed to make it. CC's home eco- nomics course aims to teach the as- piringfuture homemakers all the arts and skills necessary for this challeng - ing but rewarding job. Even before teaching the girls HOW to cook, Sister Mary Kenneth must teachthem WHAT to cook. First the nutritional value of food is examined and evaluated, then the meal is planned. After that, to the kitchen. Full steam ahead for the culinary arts! But the girls soon discover that being a good homemaker involves more than being elbow -deep in bread dough. They also learn many other equally useful things--among them, child care, sewing, and family living. A 14

WITH TE T TUBE AND MICROSCOPE Above: THIS IS FUN! Susie Anderson, Betty Lampe, and Pat Lamb make a chemistry experiment look almost enjoyable. l PY V ' . 3. . A it , , X. :f WL, 1 ns- , 1 Nt What goes up must come down. Yes, but with what acceleration, with how much force, inhow long a time? Such are just a few of the basic concepts and mathe- matical skills taught in physics. Thor- ough knowledge of both natural laws and advanced math enables the students to better understand physical properties-- just what makes this old world tick. Chemistry shows us the other half of the earth's makeup--the chemical proper- ties. Students delve into the structure of matter and the fundamental principles and lawsgoverning this matter. A chance to see these principles in action comes during the lab periods when the students carry out experiments pertaining to the QE-,jgggrllf . in present topic being studied. 'l ' : i52?
