Not a Chinese puzzle but a Physics test constructed by Mi. Robert Canner and Mr. Wayne Dunbar. Seniors Marvin Hyatt and Ray Schultz check the complicated structure to prove the basic Physics theories it demonstrates. Office Training Class gives business majors practical of- fice experience. Seniors Eva Jones, Barbara Hale, and Merrilyn Lindley are running off cards for another depart- ment on the Ditto machine. In Mrs. Janice Cummer ' s Clothing class, sophomore Sherry Hoffmeister sews a fine seam on one of the late model electric machines.

We Plan Courses from a Wide Curriculum Freshmen John Justice and Ronnie Sawyer put finishing touches to their Christmas angel constructed in Art I. Kathleen Ludeman and Linda Schroeder find hands help- ful while practicing conversing in French, which was newly added to our curriculum this year. The classes here at Manual teach students many and varied subjects, preparing them with a back- ground for college or the vocation of their choice. The school is equipped to instruct and give valu- able knowledge to pupils who wish to take advan- tage of the opportunity. With the assistance of teachers and counselors, each Manualite may work out a four-year program which best suits his needs, interests, and abilities. If his goal is college, he plans his curriculum to meet college requirements; or he may prepare himself for a vocation or busi- ness in one of our many special departments. This year, Manual has added to its ever-growing curriculum three new subjects — French, Analytical Geometry, and Etymology. In U. S. History class, Jim Privette, as King James I of England, dramatizes the awarding of charters for Amer- ican colonies to Janet Carnes and Leroy Bell.

We Develop Skills For Future Success Not only does our curriculum prepare students for college and future professions, but it also turns out tomorrow ' s mechanics, carpenters, designers, elec- tricians, and pr inters. With a shop program con- sisting of such courses as mechanical drawing, electronics, and general, machine, auto, wood, and print shops, Manualites are becoming well equipped for a future in one of these vocations. With a rising enrollment in shop courses, many students are discovering that the practical knowl- edge gained in these classes will make them general handy men and save them money since they can make their own repairs without the costly services of a professional mechanic or electrician. Each shop room has a washing fountain where several boys can wash-up at once to prepare for next classes. Larry Ulrey and Charles Murray, Advanced Auto Shop pupils, check the brake lines on a faculty car. Shop pupils get practical experience by ac- tually doing jobs for Manual and Manualites. In Auto Shop boys may work on their own cars, but also do mechanical repairs on cars belonging to faculty members and other students. In Mechanical Drawing, advanced draftsmen have drawn plans for houses and other struc- tures that have actually been built. And our apprentice printers make tickets and pro- grams for Manual organizations, as well as many forms used by the main office. Electricians repair radios and TV sets in their Shop, and Machine Shop boys learn to use precision equipment in preparation for jobs as tool and die makers. This year, boys in Metal Shop built coat racks for use in the gym check rooms during basketball season.
