.... boys bent over the tables of chemis- try laboratories, pondered problems in phys- ics and thought “Mathematics and science. Mathematics and science. All I can get of them, before I go to war.” .... and now they are getting out of bal- ance in the direction of the techniques. These boys—getting ready to go into ser- vice, they ne§d mathematics and physics, yes. But they need Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emer- son and Walt Whitman too.

VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT In the shops, students are training to be sol- liers of production. Metal and wood shop boys give real service in repair work for the school. They also coop- erate in repair of farm equipment. Some eighty-five boys are receiving wood shop train- ing which may help them to obtain the rating of carpenter’s mate in the Navy, or to get work in an airplane factory. Mechanical drawing classes, also, are of war- time importance. Over a hundred students are enrolled in the three double periods of mechan- ical drawing. Even an occasional girl joins up. These students of Mr. Peer and Mr. Shower, as well as the 120 boys in metal shop under Mr. Martin’s instruction, constitute the industrial arts department. As a wartime project, stu- dents have made ash trays and ash stands for the Junior Red Cross for use in veteran's hos- pitals. SHOP TEACHERS Mr. Forest Tobin, Mr. A. R.
