Green-thumhed students and animal hushandry enthusi- asts can indulge in their pleasures through Vocational Agri- culture. YVhile giving the student a chance to pursue his in- terests, the agriculture program also prepares him for a career in farming. A large storage shelter for tractors and other farm implements, plus a Corral with hulls and two ducks help to give the program an aspect of reality with the farming world. These courses offered are made up of classroom stud- ies, farm mechanics, land lahoratory work, home projects, and FFA work. Before a hoy may take a course, he usually must have, or have the intention of having, a farm project lll1Klt'!' his own supervision. Vocational Agriculture had its heginning with the Smith-Hughes Act, an act of congress which originated ahout forty years ago. In Tampa, vocational agriculture is still young, dating hack to the first course which was offered at Franklin Junior High School seven years ago. Later the program was hrought to Hillsborough High, and today, a full and carefully planned program is in operation at Chamberlain. J- :yin af' his R. Y.

Hold your ears when you pass through the -lll0's. 'lihe constant noise and tumult which rings through this last cor- ridor is not a complete collapse of the building. but the whir- ring machines and other shop noises of the industrial arts department. Lots of fine furniture and projects are built by the hands of our industrial arts students. 'lihe display case in their hall often exhibits worthy examples of furniture making, or a well-tooled machine of midget proportions. f Pre-Flight in Action-Seeing what makes airplanes tick are members of the Pre-Flight Class.
