This Une Sta s Put A brick veneer house with white trim was the main project chosen by Tommy Davis and his 28 students. Instead of the usual frame house to be moved, this year's class built a permanent house on Stadium Drive. Mr. Davis and his students constructed the house them- selves. The house was sold to the highest bidder, and the money went to the school. During each three-hour class, students learned carpentry, elec- trical wiring and plumbing.
