Industrial arts offer chance to create. The hands of this mechanical drawing student, Perry Auman, grow in skill as he enjoys the challenge of making an intricate drawing on special green paper. Students of HPHS who elected industrial arts courses gained knowledge and practical skill in designing, drawing, and building vari- ous articles of wood and metal. In mechanical drawing classes, students learned to make detailed working drawings, including blue prints and house plans. In wood shop courses, the boys made a variety of articles. Using hand and machine tools on rough oak, cedar, and walnut, they turned out prized results: cedar chests, ward- robes, and bedroom suites. The scream of a buzz saw punctuates the air as Bobby Dunlap works rough rasined boards into smooth, shin- ing table tops. 5564. F .

Under the direction of Mr. Berryman T. Cudd, the business education department at HPHS offered courses in typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and business mathematics. Business mathematics offered students an opportunity to work with such problems as aliquot parts and skills related to the field of business. A dictaphone machine, a spirit duplicator, and a mimeoscope machine were used in con- junction with the typing courses. Business English and accounting principles were the new courses offered in the business curriculum. They both added to the develop- ment of HPHS business leaders. 43715 Mr. Cudd helps Gwen Stout, Zona Lanier, and Sylvia Embler to organize and record the endless rows of figures they encounter in bookkeeping class.

Under the direction of J. Frank Shields, Herb Hipps, A. J. Simeon, and J. Don Meyers, students of HPHS learned safe driving prac- tices. The nine-weeks' course was divided into two periods. During the classroom phase, stu- dents learned the rules and regulations of the road and took tests to determine reaction, time, depth perception, steadiness, visual acu- ity, eye dominance, and glare and color vi- sion. During the under-the-wheel phase, stu- dents completed the required eighteen hours in the automobile. ln the dual control cars, they mastered smooth starting and stopping, turning, parking, backing, and driving - both in traffic and on the open road.
