Manual Arts Theres a desk to be repaired? Iust send for one of Mr. Iacksorrs boys. Hell repair it. Who is Mr. Iackson? Why, he conducts the CHS. Woodwork departf ment. In his classes the boys are taught to biiild racks, bookcases and to make all the school repairs land they do it Well, we may addb. The study of wood- working isn't only for those desiring to become carpenters. lt's for practical use, too, for there are many students that would like to be able to hammer a nail, without the necessity of a doctor officiat- ing. Then, We have the Auto Mechanics shop. This is also a study that is prac- tical. lt teaches not only the parts and operations of any gas engine but also how to repair these engines. Many a car has been torn apart and then put to- gether again by the boys under Mr. Hagans supervision. Those boys taking printing don't neces- sarily take it because they desire to be- come printers, ln fact, this course in printing is not only for those boys desir- ing to make printing their trade, but to acquaint students with the fundamentals ot the trade. lt these boys decide to make a career of printing so much the better.
