Snyder, gave many students the feeling to be great like Napoleon or to be another Magellan and travel around the world. It not only gave our students the background for their future reading and understanding by opening a whole realm of facts about ancient and modern civilization, but it also taught them many things about our forefathers and democracy. Edward Flink and Mr. Wliite proved to be excellent referees in the hery arguments which were carried on in civics and economics classes. Future lawyers were given many opportunities to prove their point in the debates, while many students found themselves wanting to be senators and representatives as the mock congress went to session. Antoinette Ragusa and Louis Larson practice filing. Claritta Rutkiewicz and Mary Ann Viskocil run off some drills on the mimeograph. 9230

Typing shorthand secremrial ractice, book , 1 , L p . - keeping, business training, commercial geography, and salesmanship were the courses taken by future secretaries, typists, and accounting experts.

White, the training and development along these lines made out students stiff competition to others as they entered the business world to make a success of themselves.

A very fascinating part of our school is the industrial arts department, which turns out many future carpenters, mechanics, electricians, and metal workers. Wood shop, under the supervision of William H. Sterling, not only taught the student to make many handy articles of wood, but at times served as a repair shop for broken school items. Common construction problems in metal work were thought out by the boys taking metal shop under Raymond Cherry. The uses of many common tools and machines were learned along with the proper way in which to handle materials. i240 The development of an interesting hobby, along with worth while and profitable information, was gained in Mr. Cherry's plastic class this last year. They learned how to use and care for the different types of plastics which are found in the home. Much of this information will be used when their school days are over. Students in Ortis S. Youngs electric shop were given many practical examples along with their class discussion. They wired bell circuits, telegraph and telephone circuits, and practiced simple house wiring. CNo need to call an elec- trician when one of these boys is around.J
