T H E K E Y s T 0 N E Boys Vocational Department HIS department has received special honor since the publication of the last Keystone. It is by new achievements and added interest that comes to us each year, that we realize the importance and practica- bility of the work. We feel it not only as being a part of the school, but also by the reaction that is manifested by the community. Early results are evident in the Animal Husbandry courses. The Penn- sylvania State Championship Stock Judging Team were regular students in our school and received all their instruction through the efforts of the Voca- tional Department. The story of their success and achievements will be related in another part of this publication. The work in Poultry Husbandry was offered in an interesting and prac- tical manner. The course was comprehensive and interesting, due to its practical application. Practical problems in poultry management were studied, as well as the regular work on types, breeds, diseases and judging. The Shop Work was profitable in that all projects completed were in demand by the patrons of the school. The most comprehensive piece of work ever undertaken in shop projects since the establishing of the voca- tional school were completed by the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Three large kitchen cabinets were completed and will be put on exhibition and sale at the annual Patrons' Day exhibit. The Forge Work was under the supervision of a practical blacksmith. The work completed was a credit to the department and we are looking for rapid advancement in this phase of the vocational work. 28
