Several teachers showed that they were artists as well as teachers by exhibit- ing original works in shows, museums and sales to private collections.

Three new teachers were added to the Industrial Arts Staff this year, expanding the department to six teachers. This enabled more students to study in the fields of woodworking, drafting, electronics, and photography. With the helpful supervision given by the teachers, it was again made possible to have girls in woodworking. Also co-educational classes in photography as well as drafting were offered. Modern equipment and imaginative minds helped Industrial Arts students to develop their own creativity. Students were given the oppor- tunity to make jewelry, decorative objects and household articles. Many fine pieces of crafts- manship were exhibited throughout the school.
