IN DUSTB IAI. ARTS PRINTING Gutenberg, in fifteen forty-four, Made a contraption that the sages swore Would spread more harm than good. Improvements have been made since then And long past is the era when One gave one hundred dollars for a book. Our printers who are scholars here Print the Auroran through the year, And it rates with the best ones in the land. Though this unusual may seem It makes the ehief', with pleasure beam For every letter is set by hand. MECHANICAL DRAWING If a student draftmanship would learn, A number of eredits he must earn By use of pencil and of rule In the industrial department of the school. Lines, views, and circles and dimension Are added to his comprehension. Machinery then is drawn by hand, With intricate lines and signs is planned. At first they're drawn in black and white And changed to blue prints by the light Reaeting with the chemicals used Until they are together fused. MANUAL TRAINING In Manual Training in our school Boys learn to use 'most every tool That's used in handling and carving wood, And how to use them for greatest good. They make tables and chairs and racks., And work with hammers, nails, and tacks. With varnish, polish, plane and stapleg They study oak and pine and maple. This is a regular handymalfs trade Whose work will ever be an aid In the mending and repair Of things that make housewives despair. A. BLOODGOOD R. BURGETT C. CARLSON II. MATTHEWS D. REID 6

K. JORDAN G. THOMPSON PHYSICAL EIIUCATION There's much to be gained from classes in gym That text books alone can't endow, There's much to be learned about gaining good health, But there's no need in just knowning how. As required by the state, each student Must have two years of Physical Ed. Conscientious building of bodily health Contributes to being well bred. The girls are instructed twice weekly, With Miss jordan at the lead. To be fair and adept in sports, as in life, Is vital for one to succeed. There's badminton, ping pong, and soccer ln which there is chance to excel, While tumbling, and tennis, and relays - Make good exercises as well. The boys take a liking to various sports And change as the seasons roll by, Opportunity is given the freshman To show where his talent might lie. Be it relays, basketball, hurdles or such, Coach Thompson observes him with pride. lle then undertakes with marked interest To quicken the young prospect's stride. M. KLEIN e i R. Knut: IIEALTII lu order to be rich in mental wealth, There is need for strong bodies and physical health. Only when one is well and rid of disease Can he play hard, or study with ease. To provide this, the aid of the school nurse is given. Home nursing is offered to girls who have striven To the Junior or Senior rank in their class, Five tenths of a credit rewards all who pass. Diets, injuries, how to watch oier the ill, The caring of babies, diseases to kill Thus the Home Nursing students are given a chance To cope with emergencies far in advance. They are trained to curb sicknesses in their own homes, Combat the diseases that frequently roam, To bathe and dress cuts in the most adept ways, Such helpfulness many expenses defrays. A school nurse, provided with office and such, Tends to daily emergencies with indeed a deft touch. If she deems that the injury needs hospital care, She is ready and willing to carry you there. If an absence for illness is unusually long, A visit is paid to determine the wrong. If the patient fakes sickness as some will do, She assumes the stern duty of truant-officer too. 21
