Students develop manual dexterity and learn the use of basic and advanced tools in metal, plastic, wood, and electric shops. Wood shop is required for all seventh grade boys. These students are taught safety precautions and the use of land tools. Proceeding on their way, boys ad- vance to the use of more complex apparatus such as drill press, mortising machines, and jig saw. Plastic shop allows the freshman boys to express their artistic and creative abilities making desk sets, ash trays, and candy dishes. The principles of electricity are explained in elec- tric shop and projects include lamps and small hand engraving machines. Proper methods and concern for safety is stressed with all students. Instructors give lectures and demon- strations in order to familiarize the boys with each individual machine and its operation. Primary goal of the industrial arts is to introduce the students to the trade skills which may be useful in the home or in the selection of a vocational field. .1 BOYS GAIN valuable experience in metal shop. 26

They are the unique fundamentals for a sought-after release. Miss Barbara Morgan entered our music depart- ment this year and immediately undertook the initial task of choosing and instructing the young voices of the iunior high and Performing Choruses. Her extra instructing talents lent themselves to her work with the Double Dozen, an ensemble of 24 girls who dis- played their singing in various programs such as those held at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. With Mr. William Townsend as their director, the Varsity Band marched their way to success at half- time shows and community parades. Their music generated school spirit. Looking into the art or crafts room, you're sure to see a busy scene as students work diligently at paint- ing portraits, detailed scenic portrayals ar still-lifesy forming pottery, hammering a wood project or mak- ing iewelry. Mr. Marvin Clay, crafts teacher, and Miss Sandra Towle, art teacher, were the helping agents to these students. The instructors give the students a chance to learn by experience. s.

Home Economics educates girls in two ways. Under the direction of Mrs. Lois Best, the girls learn the art of cooking. They start with small simple cookies and work up to entire meals. Mrs. Rebecca Cress, sewing instructor, teaches the girls to read a pattern, cut out the pieces, and sew together the final product. Upon leaving the class, the students are prepared to tackle iobs at home connected with cooking and sewing. Not only would this be of benefit now, but it would Mrs, Rebecca Crass Home Economics Mr. Edmund Skucan Drivar's Education serve to equip these girls in coping with these prob- lems in their own homes. Driver Education, unlike Home Economics, is ot- fered to both boys and girls. ln the classroom, movies and text material are presented to teach driving rules, and regulations. The second phase of this course is actual driving done by the students in a car owned by the school. This automobile enables students to take driving tests at the Butler Police Barracks. After passing this test, they hold a driver's license and have an understanding of the responsibility that accom- panies it.
