Many students are interested in the arts of print¬ ing, mechanical drawing, woodworking, and manual training, where the emphasis is laid on practical situa¬ tions. The mechanical drawing classes designed the racks for the new band uniforms room, the book cases for the school committee room, the bulletin boards for the weather bureau, magazine racks, and shelving in closets for many of the teachers. The shop students then take over the construction of these plans. At times they have made blueprints and made good use of the plans. The printing classes print tickets for most school events and the schedules for the various sports. [ 28 ]

In addition to the daily routine of translation and grammar work, French students enjoyed the picture of Modern France taken by Mr. and Mrs. Melanson last summer on their trip to France. All German classes study grammar and work on translation. The book German by Rehder and Twaddle is most enjoyable to the third year students who like conversational work. In addition, some German pupils cor¬ respond with pen pals in Germany. Ruth A. McKenney Colleges: Smith College M.A. Middlebury French Summer School Summer Session Alliance, Francaise-Paris.

In the Domestic Arts Department the girls are al¬ ways busy preparing meals or making various articles of clothing such as blouses, and skirts. Not only the cooking of food is taught but also hygiene and nutrition are stressed. When our girls go into the world they go well qualified as future homemakers. The students of the Fine Art Department learn techniques in the art of oil painting, clay modeling, water paints, and pastel colors. They do all the art work for the Maldonian and make scenery and posters for many M.H.S. productions, including the Senior Prom. This year many of the students entered the Scholastic Magazine Art contest. Seven pupils won gold keys and had their work sent to the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg. As models, Wilfred Muse, and Matthew Masterson work on a chest while mem¬ bers of Miss Carney’s class attempt to sketch them. [ 29 ]
