Shops Develop ' Know How ' for Home, Industry Manual boys learn practical skills in the Industrial Arts Department in Wood, Metal, Electric, Machine, and Auto Shops; and a few girls have invaded the Printing: and Mechanical Drawing; classes. In Auto Shop boys study cars, their function and care. They learn to repair brakes, transmissions, and other car parts, by actual doing. Many of the office forms, tickets, and posters used by the school are printed in Print Shop by students. Senior Mae Mink silk screened all the armbands for the Senior Class as her project. Architectural Drawing incorporates the study of designing and blue-printing, and both buildings and landscaping are included. Many pupils design houses. The Industrial Arts Department developed an ex- hibit for the Hobby Show at the Fair Grounds last November. The display, a patio with lawn furniture and garden, used drawings from Mechanical and Architectural Drawing classes as a background. In Metal Shop, Dale Norris and Richard Conner built a small tractor trailer for Mr. Owen Johnson, a Manual teacher. The boys entered the trailer in an Arc Welding Contest along with photographs and a detailed explanation of its construction. Mark Hebbie runs a board through the power saw, to cut off strips of wood for his project as Larry Craves observes. Mike Craig applies the skills that he has learned in Auto Shop, while he is repairing the brakes on a car, left. In Metal Shop, Eddie Penna learns the manipulation of the metal cutter from Mr. Dale Reid, center. When the printing machines roll, )ohn Wagner is prepared to print office forms. 25

Homemaking Skills Ready Us for Future The Home Economics Department provides girls with knowledge and skills in clothing, foods, family living, home management, and home nursing. Boys have the opportunity to test their talent in the kitchen by taking Boys ' Foods, which is offered to juniors and seniors only. In Foods 1-4 girls learn to cook breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners as well as to prepare special gourmet dishes. Advanced classes of girls got first hand experience by preparing and serving a meal to visiting principals on Novem- ber 19, and for ROTC inspectors in May. In Clothing 1-4 the girls ' study covers everything from using a pattern to the construction of formals. Developing sewing skills by making a simple gar- ment, such as a blouse or skirt, precedes the creat- ing of the professional looking clothes which are seen in the display cases in the Home Economics Department. The climax of the year ' s events was the Home Economics Department ' s participation in the Projects Fair at the close of spring semester. Girls modeled their garments for the annual style show. Brenda Dodson and Susan Creasey try their hand at making doughnuts, a favorite with girls in the cooking classes. The girls party with the doughnuts when they are done. :?l
