554 Q INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The Industrial Arts Department had its be- ginning in the basement of the Karns City Build- ing during the school year of 1939-1940. Under the able supervision of Mr. George Sligar the shop was completely planned and furnished. After seven years the basement room became too small for the enlarged classes. A new build- ing was erected in 1946 and located to the rear of the present Karns City building. Industrial Arts is a compulsory course for the Junior High School classes. In their words, they received instruction in the handling, care, and use of all the hand woodworking tools. During the latter part of their eighth grade year, they receive instruction on the wood turning lathe. All senior high school students may take In- dustrial Arts courses as electives. Among those courses offered to them are: advanced wood- working, engine lathes, foundry work, mechanical drawing, and some sheet metal and electricity. At the present time Mr. John Williams is in charge of the Industrial Arts Department. I-Ie has been with us for the past three years. I-Ie is a graduate of State Teachers College at Cali- fornia, Pa., and is now doing work on his Masters Degree. ,rf
