Vocational Arts Prepare for Future Responsibilities The shop boys did chiefly woodwork although they made a considerable num- ber of articles from leather, plastic, and metal. Some of them leaned toward the furniture line and turned out excellent furnishings that found places in many classrooms and homes. The boys made aluminum dishes and ash trays by spin- ning the metal on a wood lathe, jewelry and trinkets by art metal casting. The eighth and ninth grade mechan- ical drawing classes learned to recognize, handle, and care for the drawing equip- ment. They did sketching, lettering, and simple layouts. The older boys made more advanced and intricate drawings. Some even ventured into the architectural field. Time to replace a belt in the bandsaw. Drafting students prepare assembly drawings. Advanced home economics demonstrate how to prepare and serve a luncheon. ft Golly, that smells good! It seemed that almost everyone said that as he passed the home ec kitchen when the girls were making cookies or other mouth- watering delicacies. What ' s more, the food not only smelled good; it tasted de- licious! (Well, usually.)

Science Uncovers the Knowledge of Tomorrow With such a wide variety, general sci- ence, biology, composite science, chem- istry, and physics, almost everyone found a science that interested him. Many stu- dents were amazed to discover how fas- cinating the study of plants and bugs could be. When the chemistry classes made rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide) they were about t he only people in school who weren ' t bothered by the odor. Electricity, heat, inertia, and other elements of phys- ical science kept the physics students oc- cupied in intense study all year. The increased emphasis on science places greater importance on these courses for all students who hope to succeed in this scientific age. The Biological Bureau oi Investigation hunt for mi- nute protozoa. Chem students now and then flood the second floor with penetrating odors. Monty explains how a line perpendicular to a plane is perpendicular to all lines contained in a plain. Sim- ple, isn ' t it? Mathematics — the downfall of some students, the shining glory of others. Many who were not mathematically inclined stopped with Algebra I or general math; others fell by the wayside after the rigors of plane geometry; most of the remaining math students called it quits with Algebra II; hats off to the survivors who conquered Monty ' s trig and solid !
