THE SHOP IS NO LONGER A MAN'S WORLD Both The girls enrolled in the home mechanics class and The boys Taking The wood, metal, and electricity courses are quite proud of The well-equipped new wing that They call home. These students learn practical skills with 41 which They become more competent to meet The demands of employment and homemaking. lt is not necessarily The purpose of industrial arts classes to train a student to fill a particular iob. Rather iT is The purpose of These classes to build a broad background of knowledge with which, along with other knowledge, competences, and skills, any student becomes more able to function in our modern society. Perhaps The greatest value received from These courses is The acquisition of wholesome leisure-time interests and useful hobbies. MR. ALLEN GOODRIDGE B.S.Ed., M.A. , Drafting, Electr-icity, Q MR.

PAST AND FUTURE ARE IN THE MICROSCOPE During chemistry class, Ron Barrett uses the balance scale to weigh chemicals for his experiment testing the stability ot tungsten. Biology classes engaged in dissections soon progress from shrieks ot disgust to interested, pertinent remarks. The various dissections help the students to realize the relationships between man and the lower species. Biology deals with human beings and plant and animal lite. A more complex science that treats of the composition of sub- stances is chemistry. Throughout the year each student must, en- dure over-powering odors while doing experiments by formulas in the laboratory. Physics, closely related to chemistry, is an advanced science dealing with the laws and relationships that underlie matter and energy. Some of the topics ot discussion during the year are light, behavior ot fluids, magnetism, and electricity. MR. JOHN P. SHADRACH B.S.Ed., NLE.
