Mr. Adolph Wolocovogo Mr. Joe Wllkorton Industrial Arts Industrial Arts seems to be the area where students can really learn by doing. Shaping raw material into a useful and frequently beautiful object with exactness and skill—to be able to work with reality rather than words— perhaps this is part of the reason why many students find the most useful parts of their edu- cation in the shops of Limestone. The masculine atmosphere of boys tooling leather, cedar, or cold rolled steel amid noisy, busy machines may be part of the attraction.- but don't forget that girls can penetrate this man's world and a few do—taking the hand- crafts course, for instance. Exactness and accuracy are among the goals of the IA classes. This is especially true in Drawing I and II, and the advanced electricity classes. The IA department v ill continue to excel as facilities ore expanded. A graphic arts room, where students v ill learn much about photo- engraving and printing, a small motors course, and an art room are all tentatively being planned.
