THE BOOSTER OPEN DAT OPEN day has been held here every year, since the school opened in 1895, when at the close of the term, Mr. Emmerich, the founder and first principal of M. T. H. S., decided to have a special day on which the work of the pupils would be exhibited, so that parents might see what their boys and girls had ac- complished. The first open day ex- hibit was given in the school library, and it was so well attended by the parents of pupils, that it was made a permanent feature of the school ' s cal- endar. Today is the first open day given for two years, as the last one was held in June, 1914. An exhibition of many novel pieces of art metal work in copper and silver is to be found in the art department, room 21. The first after school credit class was started last January, by Miss West, but this is the first chance the class has had to show the many original projects that are being made. A copper chafing dish, a candle sconce, hinges, drawer pulls, paper knives, various kinds of boxes, and book ends are some of the pieces of art metal work that are on exhibition. Advanced cabinet making and turn- ing are combined in the numerous wood projects which are being ex- hibited today in the wood turning rooms. The late change in the wood working course has made these more complicated pieces of furniture pos- sible. The foundry, machine shop, and forge shop all are having their pro- ject exhibits in the room ordinarily used for automobile repairing. All three shops are having the regular metal projects on exhibition, and in addition, the foundry has a bronze Phi Delta Theta shield made by Roy Anderson, a cup, saucer, and spoon, cast in one piece in aluminum, and an aluminum safety razor blade sharp- ener. The Manual exhibit recently shown at the State House has been placed in the same room with the metal projects. Complete farm gas engine patterns are being shown in the pattern-making room. The pat- terns are arranged so as to resemble the finished engine. The exhibition in the Sewing de- partment is much the same as in former years, excepting that some of the girls are wearing the dresses that they have made this semester. This way of exhibiting the dresses is a new feature.
