Top: Norman and Richard Janovsliy put the finishing touches on plastic ear- rings. Howard Young, Bennie Weltei', Earl Morris, and Raymond Bell look for a flaw in an automobile engine. In mechanical drawing, taught by Mr. Young, much time was spent in drawing and appraising objects. There will be no speeding tickets given to the boys in auto shop, for they have learned the Illinois Driving rules or so the instructor, David B. Easson, hopes. The fundamentals of the automo- bile, and the use of tools in con- nection, with the car were two of the most important factors learned in this class.

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
