Mechanical Drawing I teaches fundamentals and deals mainly with orthographic projection and sec- tioning. In the second semester the fundamentals of isometric, oblique and auxiliary drawing arc learned. The students view graphic solutions as they pertain to mechanical drawing and developments as they pertain to sheet metal drawing and transition views. The first two semesters in Printing arc spent study- ing the textbook and learning different printing processes. Later the boys put their learning to work doing practice jobs. In the third and fourth semesters they do different printing jobs for the school such as printing tickets for dances and programs and also for the football and basketball games. Learning the operation of the lathe and turning the diameter to specified size by using blueprints arc among the fundamentals the students learn in Ma- chine Shop I. In the second semester they learn to cut threads on the lathe and do taper turning. In the third and fourth semesters the students make a project requiring several fitted pieces. Later they learn to make parts of machines. Bob Konya really concentrates as he operates the drill press.

In the clothing classes the girls learn about fabrics and color combinations. They also learn the importance of personal appearance be- fore beginning to study patterns and construct garments.

As part of the Latin Club initia- tion, these students had to attend classes dressed as fashionable Romans of long ago. Students make use of the library as they study. The library helps in writing themes and term papers, preparing reports, providing a place for quiet study or reading current magazines. Peace and quiet reign supreme in the study hall—much to the delight of the teacher. Page sixteen
