The boys taking this course gained an under- standing ot some ot the more common con' struction problems in metal work, they also learned the use ol the more common tools and machines in modifying and handling materials. Students in Mr. Cherrys plastics class learned how to care lor and use intelligently the many ditlerent types ot plastics found in the home. They became acquainted with the plastic materials in use day by day, and they also developed a worthwhile and profitable hobby that can be ccrried on alter school days are over. Development ot skill, knowledge, reasonf ing ability and attitude desirable in connecf tion with electrical work is the main objective ol the electric shop students, under the direcf tion ol Orris S, Young. Besides participating in class discussion the students perlormed such jobs as the wiring ot bell circuits, telegraph and telephone circuits, and simple house wir- ing, Mechanical drawing, taught by Mr. Young, is like a language in that it enables the student to express himself and to portray an idea. Learning to use the symbols and nomenclature used in this form of expression took up most ot the students' time. Much time was also spent in drawing, appraising, and, in many cases, re- drawing objects to give practice in the use oi a large number oi symbols and representations. Auto shop students, under the guidance ot I-loward T. Binstock, learned how to use tools, how to care for tools, and how to work to- gether with people. They also learned the ill- inois Driving rules, and the lundamentals of the automobile. ls it any wonder that our shop classes have such a large enrollment? , Pat Coyne assembles Cl generator motor while Frank Kucer and George Rothlisberger wire an electric mo- tor.
