METALS-WOODS Concepts Become Reality A new peak of advancement was reached in both the woods and metals shops, with the growth apparent in the number of enrollees and the lathe and grinder acquired. In metal shop beginning students turned out several interesting projects including metal bookends. The more advanced students concentrated energies on complicated projects as they produced actual machine parts. The beginning woodworkers completed a wide variety of projects, which included a gun rack and a tool box and allowed individual designing as well. Second and third year craftsmen spent their efforts on building bookcases, wardrobes, and many other pieces of full-size furniture. r Dennis Stamy adjusts the speed of the metal lathe while turning down a handle for his lead hammer.

AGRICULTURE Courses Developed Without planning and expectations, vocational agriculture wouldn't have added courses in landscaping and gardening, along with revised shop classes. Mr. Lowell Buswell, a new faculty member from Oregon State, taught classes in open welding, equipment repair and a two-period-course designed to give the students a background in engine tune-up, over-haul, farm equipment assembly, and fabrication. Mr. Robert Burnham, head of forestry and surveying, plant and animal science, plus agriculture, balanced a well rounded curriculum.
