Sandpaper smoothes the end table which Jim Waters pre- pares for a mahogany finish. Triangles, T. Squares, and the comments of fellow draftsmen help Jim Sjoquist with his drawing of a grinder vise. Shop dept. trains future craftsmen. Room l04's printing press hums with activity, printing pro- grams, posters, tickets, and badges for school use. Hoping someday to obtain industrial jobs, two of Mr. Bon- ham's shop students leam to operate the lathe. Industrial Arts train the craftsmen of tomor- row. Future engineers and architects add shop courses to their curricula. Machine Shop teaches students to operate, clean, and repair lathes, grind- ers, drill presses, shapers, and make small hand tools. Cabinets, tables and lamps are products of wood workingg leather belts and plastic jewelry result from craft courses. Drawing to scale, draft- ing students perched on high benches labor on blue prints. Shop students work for Adams. They printed tickets, made frames for the Eagle Ethics Code, and drew illustrations for Mr. Reber's opaque projector. Their display of handywork drew stu- dents to the library. Straight exact holes require a steady hand. Chuck Moore practices his technique on the drill press.

These tools are necessary to solve mathematical problems. Math students lear Mathematics teaches students to think clearly and reason logically. Math helps prepare students for college, careers, and everyday living. Other departments require its use. Correct measurements are essential to shop, science, and home ec stu- dents. Remedial math is taken by students who have weak foundations. They review basic arithmetic and work practical problems. x + 12 I 34 is simple algebra but the problems quickly get tougher. Students solve for X or Y, struggle with graphs, and factor equations. Triangles, correllaries, theor- sms, and Mr. Schwanz's colored designs introduce Jlane geometry. Congruent, parallel are common I1 to reason logically. terms to sophomores. Moving up, students with numerical ability continue to study algebra. Some take solid geo- metry and think in 3 D in trigonometry, they figure the height of water towers, navigate ships by the stars, and survey property by using the six functions of right triangles. Analytic students find equations from charts. Working to gain advanced placement in col- lege classes, six senior mathematicians studied calculus. Mr. Weir, head of the math department, taught them during home room period two days a week. They received no credit for their work.

Shaping dough into a firm roll, Sheila Hoffman promises Patty Aaron a cookie within the hour. Homemakers follow directions, gain know. Learning is doing , but Suzanne Boggs is not entirely alorm. She relies on Miss Frey's basting directions. From salad through dessert cooking students follow the recipe. They buy the ingredients, shop- ping for the best bargains. Students learn that housekeeping is more than washing dishes and dusting. They plan homes and make budgets to cover all family expenses. Child care is also included in this course. HOME ECONOMICS Knowing some day they will be homemakers, many girls take home economics courses. They cut financial corners by making their own clothes. After the difficlut choice, what to make, the girls tit the pattern, straighten the material, and pin the pieces to the cloth, all these steps are taken before the cloth is even cut. Beginners sew simple dresses while advanced seamstresses make suits. rn. if '-4 Nancy Horvath is pleased with her lightly-browned dinner rolls.
