FANNY G00 dazwddpaw Although the VOCATIONAL DE- PARTMENT is the answer to the am- bitious student's requirements for special skills, there have been many taking these courses tor pure inter- est or enioyment. More and more girls have challenged in mechanical drawing classes the male students as they wield their pencils and rulers with skill and dexterity. Another popular course is art. Stu- dents begin by learning to be ex- pressive with a simple line and later struggle to design and paint original color wheels. Many found the textile unit the most unusual method taught as they learned to design various patterns for fabrics by using their initials and stylizing them.
