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.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS Boys Turn Raw Materials Into Things of Beauty and Usefulness lg? l 5 l 'Ns The boys in the industrial arts classes try their hand making useful objects out of wood. lVhrr, buzz. buzzl That buzz of activity you hear is coming from the shop beehiye. Boys in Shop l explore work with sheetmetal, wood, band-iron and leather. Emphasis is on the care of hand tools which the students use in making their projects. ln Shop ll emphasis is placed on machine and wood working, electricity, and ceramics. Furniture pieces for the home are also some of the many things which come froni the work of Shop Il students. Go lly a kite. says .llr. Jmvl' .Yf,u',l'el', pre-flight teacher. and he really means it.

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.

One of the charter memhers of our faculty, Hr. Hill is a graduate of Berea College where he received his 3.5. degree. Rarely venturing forth from amidst the shining farm im- plements. pamphlets. and roomy ag. classrooms, he teaches a full day of two-hour agriculture courses and sponsors the Future Farmers of America.

Onward to greater thingsl After completing courses in shop and mechanical drawing, the hoys may elect General Kletals as their next step in the industrial arts. During this year, they work entirely with sheet-metal, hot and cold rolled steey. They practice a lot with those big machines which stock the shop rooms, and learn skill in threading and boring. High stool. drawing desks, and weird shaped rulers typify the mechanical drawing room. Here students learn lettering. sketching, and drawing of machine parts with utmost accu- racy. ln llechanical Drawing II. intersections of solids are the order of the day. and hy the end of the course, students are ahle to design simple machines. 1+- ' 'YJ-M '1 HAROLD WEESNI' R 'll-squares and triangles are the main props in Room 403, fllr.
