MANUAL TRAINING The manual training classes have been very busy this year. We feel fortunate in having so much wonderful electrical equipment in our shop. Material has been very difficult to obtain and also rather expensive so we have repaired some furniture, including desks and tables in the various rooms. We refinished the desk tops in the high school assembly room and also in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade rooms, as well as the chairs in the high school class rooms. Junior Gallagher was in the class for just the first semester but he completed a pair of saw horses, a cabinet drawer and a bird house. Elden Baker is at present making a hall tree, and has made a set of shelves and a knife rack. Edward Weber has finished a lamp, a serving cabinet, a rabbit cage, a weather vane, and a bath room shelf. Ted Ericksen is completing his work on a sink cabinet. He also has made several articles. Dick Pixler is at present working on an end table. He has completed a book shelf, a hog feeder, and a gun rack. John Sulsberger has been working on a hog feeder which he hopes to complete as soon as the weather is suitable for outdoor work. In the meantime he has com- pleted a gun rack, a book shelf, knife rack, and fruit bowl. All have made the smaller articles and projects such as bread boards and bird houses. All the boys have worked on the school projects and will make some cabinets for the boys and girls lockers in which to store the basketball suits. 32

CARNIVAL Carnival days come to Holly Springs, October Z9, 1948. Everyone was busy for days ahead to make this annual carnival a success.

After the play everybody had an exciting time at the fishing pond, fortune teller, telegram office, basketball throw and the numerous other concessions. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. With the playing of Pomp and Circuxnstances, the Royal party marched to the throne. Who were the King and Queen? ? ? ? Johnny Sulsberger was the King and Pat Heacock was the Queen? '? ? ? Junior Gallagher and Ilene Belknap were first attendants. Dick Pixler and Marian Oldis were second attendants.
