Mr. Connett and Mr. Nave inspect model airplane sketches. Audley and Burt tune motors for the supreme test. ARCHITECTS A MECHANICS QF TO ORRGW ln the drafting room and the workshop boys are dem- onstrating their ability to do things well with their hands. Page sirleezz The courses of the Industrial Arts Department make up one of the best vocational departments in any school. The students of home and auto mechanics learn to do professionally the numerous jobs in every- day living. The mechanical and architectural draft- ing courses have led many of our students to choose engineering as their future field of endeavor. The wood-Work department has sent forth many fine prod- ucts in cabinet work. Probably the most inspiring thing our school has heard from the Industrial Arts Department is the call for boys to build model airplanes for our government. Certainly if a course can offer chances for its students to help their country in such a necessary field, it is doing its patriotic duty and preparing many fine citizens. The two instructors of this department are certainly to be admired for their excellent work in so ably preparing the architects and mechanics of to- morrow. From the work done in these classes, one can begin to appreciate the fact that the use of the hands is important as Well as the use ofthe head. Since the classes are double periods, the students are given enough individual help to make the course even more instructive. It would profit any student to take ad- vantage of the chances offered by the Industrial Arts Department to use hand and head.

Page eighteen XS flee Clz1l1,G mi EW' - ' . .NuS5 L . and a - NKvt.YUlTT'B .'A ' Together the band classes, general music course,,glee clubs and mixed chorus constitute a full-time schedule for the music department of Dobyns-Bennett, 4 Two hundred and fifty girls were in the singing classes and eighty boys, the largest number ever enrolled in the department composed the male voices in the glee clubs. The glee clubs also presented several assembly programs and led the assembly in group-singing. The Music Department introduced new talent to the students through these assembly programs and at the same time trained the boys and girls for public appearances. With the cooperation of the local radio station, WKPT, pro- grams have been broadcast from the school stage. The band under the direction of Professor S. T. Witt set a new pace for future musicians by its splendid performances, on the football field, in assembly, and on parade. Through music the students are allowed to express themselves in the patriotic marches and songs that are so appropriate at this time. The morale of the nation today largely depends on the spirit and enthusiasm that its people get from singing and hearing its national anthem and other truly American compositions. Appearances before the school assembly by a division of the music department are an assur- ance of good programs, and made this department one of the most popular organizations in the school. ral Mum
