4 i 3 U3 1 liit-lgaumw ' ei l i Q J Q Vocational Education i HIS year, Vocational Education was added to the curriculum of Kittanning High . ,g . - School. Two courses were taughtg namely, Mechanical Drawing and VVood-work. ' Q- I . il ll 5 The Mechanical Drawing Classes were held in the Central School Building and the K VVood Shop was located in a room at the rear of the Kittanning Leather Store. The I number in the classes comprised about 140 boys, and a great deal of interest was shown. ii Mr. Nj Dean Reed, the instructor, was brought to Kittanning in the middle of August, i :Nj 1930, to set up the shop equipment, build drawing benches, and outline the above named courses. The work benches from the former shop were in storage in the basement of the li Central Building for about ten years, these were salvaged, repaired, and new vises were l ,installed 'l Several projects were taken up in the shop this yearg match-boxes, letter-boxes, V3 whiskbroom holders, footstools, rolling pins, ca11dle-sticks, taborets, and doormats-the li weaving and sewing of which proved very interesting. Stage scenery for various school , productions was also made in the shop. Although the working space was limited, it is felt 1 that the course has been very benehcial to the boys. VVhen drawings for the new wing to the Central Buildingiwere considered this year, 'Q allowance was made for a drawing room. However, after much consideration, this space l was deemed to have greater value for academic subjects. lt is hoped that in the near future, a general shop for the teaching of sheet-metal working, pattern-making, electric ,I wiring, and automobile repairing, will be added. l T' llilf-llli i i Twengv

Physical Education N order that all pupils might have some part in school gymnastics, volley ball and interclass basketball teams have been organized, under the direction of Miss MacGregor. Games were played between the various classes in high school, the Sopho- mores being victorious in each case. This year, the gym classes have started a new form of gymnastics called the Danish, which type of physical exercise has never been taught in Kittanning before, but is highly recommended by other schools. All of the stunts are done by music, not by the old style of counting. Miss MacGregor has also been teaching her pupils several different kinds of dancing, among which are: tap, clogging, character, and folk. Mr. Pulling sums up his gymnastic work in Z1 very few words. The gym classes are run on the day's order-with marching, apparatus work, and games such as basketball, volleyball, and freeball. ' 'S H i elif L ': l:l-Aguuu:1f-- l -- - L 'g-i Nineteen
