Arts and Crafts Class ARLO ONROE, Instructor Trades consists of numerous practical offerings each year under the direction of practicing tradesmen of the area. Freshmen and sophomores are instructed in carpentering, cement work, practical electricity, welding, forge work, and mechanical drawing. Juniors and seniors may continue any of these and ln addition receive work in auto mechanics and metal lathe and general shop. Other short blocks of time are allotted on alternat- ing years in the trades plumbing, printing, and painting. The shop is equipped with basic hand and power tools necessary to this instruction. Classes are conducted with small groups so that each student obtains ample allow- ance for individual instruction. Students work on school improvement projects, which offer opportunities for practical exper- ience in the pursuit of the various trades as well as making possible many valuable additions to the equipment and plant. This is a aelf improvement process in which the students take pride and is one of the unique educational contributions of Leland and Gray.
