We gain experience in handling financial and other problems which are met daily on full-scale farms in this coun- try. As a member, one chooses a farm project on which he wishes to work during Hands to Work, or any other time which he might have. These projects include cider, maple syrup, honey, candy, sheep, chickens, and ducks. This year we have been involved in several pro- jects: the building ofa hay chute to lighten the work of feeding the animals was the most not- able of these achievements. The birth of five lambs was an accomplishment in which the boys took as much pride as the sheep.

We have installed an enlarger, two sinks, and a dry- er. 'llhe club got off to a slow start due to the rush on sport pictures needed by the Peg Board and Yearbook. After these pic- tures were finished, though. we had more of a chance to use the darkroom and things started to move more smoothly. Alan Schoonmaker, our senior in charge, check- ed out the new boys in the use of the equipment. After a short time, they became fairly expert at developing and printing. All in all, we had an enjoyable year experi- menting and learning more about pictures. Our faculty advisor was Mr. lVIacCaffey. Woodworking Club , V. ,1.. This year a small group of boys were organized by Dr. Wlieelcick to form the Vvoodworking Club. Our main objective has been the building of necessary articles for the school and for ourselves. We have built athletic benches. hockey cages, mail boxes. and have repaired many things. even a barber chair. Being confronted by such a wide range of problems has extended our knowledge of how to work with our hands. llr. Wheelock and Dennis Walker, our pres- ident. have contributed generously in time and knowledge in helping us with the num- erous difficulties that arise. We all hope that the club will continue to he useful to the needs at Darrow. Page 48 Blumenthal, Mr. Wheelock, Birch, Henderson, Han. W 'N 'Q' .n 'I
