• Wood Shop Experience,” they shout when you apply for a job. Experience,” employers are continually manding. Maybe here at L.H.S. we can’t give experience to our students, but they can certainly learn to wield a sanding block, ripsaw, and paint brush. Down deep in the bowels of our school, where Mr. John Tammeryn rules, with the ever ready assistance of Mr. Harry Hersh, lies an oft forgotten department of our curriculum. This end of our halls belongs to the Industrial Arts Department, and the Wood Shop stands as king. From early in the morning till late in the afternoon sounds of banging ham- Foreground: M. Fchcr.

mers, roaring saws, and grinding planers issue forth. At any time, while walking down the corridors, you may meet the low, flat truck carrying work from the store room to the shop. In the spring when most jobs are nearly completed. the odors of paint, varnish, linseed oil, and stain fill this end of the school. And as the work is done and proudly carried home, you will encounter a never-ending stream of end tables, magazine baskets, what-nots, ping-pong tables, shoe boxes, garden chairs, and book cases. Here, too, the stage crew can turn if they need a set built for a production, and the boys on special work will be ready to turn it out for them. •Art Metal Art Metal is one of the new courses added to this year’s curriculum. It expresses the modern trend in education toward self-expression in the manual arts. Material covered by the Art Metal program is nearly all non-tcchnical and requires no special knowledge. Taught by Mr. Hersh, the course is offered to Juniors and Seniors one period a week for one year only. Besides its educational value, it allows the student to build practical objects for use in the home; the only cost involved being that of materials, which are bought wholesale for the Industrial Arts department. The work is divided into two types, i.e., wrought iron and sheet metal. Sheet metal work requires fewer complicated maneuvers but is fairly difficult, requiring the craftsman to turn out intricate jobs such as ash trays and serving dishes. Under wrought iron work comes a variety of products and operations consisting of lamps, fireplace screens, wall flower brackets, and all projects dealing with bent strips of iron. The student learns how to flare, flute, drill, and rivet, operations which arc sometimes liable to make wrecks out of both the iron and students. • Surveying Lansdownc’s on the map. Yes, and the Senior surveying squad is putting it there. Supervised by Mr. John Tammeryn, this year’s group has started to survey the new homes that have been built in Lansdowne in recent years. Each squad of five men lays out a plan of the new streets and then places on it the houses. Drawings are then made to scale and mounted on the large school district chart which hangs in Dr. S. N. Ewan’s office. The work, which is done during the class period, after school, and on Saturdays, is a good taste of actual work in the field for these advanced surveyors. The Junior class still maintains its repertoire of preliminary projects, but they too will carry on the work next year, and it will continue year after year until the job is finished. Little is usually known of the work done by the boys who take surveying, but this year the men who work the transits, tapes, Philadelphia rods, and levels have concrete evidence to show for their time; and the school is getting a welcome addition to its district map. Those who do this job will have valuable experience, experience which should stand them in good stead in college and in their later life when they become the engineers, architects and road-builders of the nation.
