IN THE SHOP SHOP During each school day there are five classes taught in the school shop. Two of these classes are for first year boys, who work with the hard tools making projects for themselves in which they are interested. The two other classes are for boys who have had the first year's work in using band tools, and they spend the year making projects by machine. The above picture shows second-year students working on scale models of a frame house. These models are built in the same manner as a full-sized house and show good and bad methods of construction in a medium-priced house. If shop students are interested, they may take a third year of shop, which is Pattern Making and Foundry. These students make throughout the year patterns of machine parts and then cast their completed patterns in aluminum. These third year students are enrolled in any of four classes mentioned above. A course in Mechanical Drawing is given in which students learn how to make and read working drawings of machine parts and plans of houses. A large percent of our population earn their living from manufacturing or mechanical work. Students, in taking shop work, will find out for themselves if they are interested in, or fitted for, manufacturing or mechanical lines of work. Thirty-one

HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT In M. M. H. S. the home of the school is in the Home Ec. rooms. The school kitchen throughout the year is the center where social activities are planned and carried out as class projects. The food classes were opened to boys this year and it is hoped that in the near future one class will be a special men s group. The clothing and Household Management classes have re- modeled the auditorium curtains, patched the stage hangings, con- structed layettes for welfare babies, mended basketball and foot- ball equipment and redecorated both the teachers' and girls' restrooms. At all times whether pupils are enrolled in any classes of the department or not, they are encouraged to make use of the rooms and instruction. Many high school girls not registered in regular classes have learned to construct knitted garments. Patterns of the department are available to any girl in school as is the equipment. In all Home Ec. classes personal care and grooming are stressed. Demonstrations on courtesy soon spread to lectures by the instructor before Girl Reserve and Hi-Y groups. The climax of this came in the form of a courtesy program sponsored by the Junior-Senior classes. The idea of the program was to stress consideration for others in the hope that courtesy will become a permanent habit of the high school stndent. In a community where young men secure summer work on the lake boats as waiters, and where many local gatherings are held, there is a distinct need for food training. In a period when food must be more than ever economically prepared, and where garments must be mended and remodeled, the answer to the situation lies in the practical application made possible by Home Econimics training. Finally in an age where standards are changing and there is more leisure time, there is a vital need for proper identification of the values of life and a knowledge of handicraft to make a constructive life.
