An extensive creative writing unit involving such topics as exposi- tion and description provides a re- placement.

Several different courses were offered in this field. Cabinet Making I concentrated on the fundamentals of woodworking and the use of hand tools and woodworking machines.

It provided courses in design- ing and drawing of model homes, whereas machine drawing empha- sized sheet metal drafting and de- sign. Mechanical drawing, a basic and important part of an industrial arts course, was concerned with drafting and the language of drawing. Machine Shop I involved the elements of machine tool metal working, and the use of the lathe, mill, and grincler. Machine Shop Il was an extension of the basic course and involved more complicated and precise layouts. Industrial arts as- sisted in the development of per- sonal aptitudes, interests, creative technical abilities, self-reliance, and resourcefulness. New equipment and Mr. Mitchell make the iob easier.
