The highly technological world of today increasingly demands specialized hands in the field of industrial arts. Courses in industrial arts at McKinley helped to satisfy a part of these demands by developing students to become future technicians. In addition to providing ca- reer opportunities, they created an active interestin students to start new hobbies or leisure-time activities. Thus there were ham radio operators who talked with people all over the world, boys who tink- ered with their cars, and those who delved into woodcraft or electrical devices. C o ur s e s in mechanical and architec- tural drawing, metal shop, printing, wood- work, electricity, radio and auto mechanics proved popular and worthwhile.

H X Ms' a Xie iaffzeffzafam ecgzzm Many passers-by were tempted by whiffs of delicious dishes to peer into the cooking classes attended by girls and boys who de- sired to ameliorate their culinary art. The sound of friendly chatter and the whirring of busy sewing m a c h i n e s also stirred many students' curiosities wh i l e they w al k e d through the homemaking building. Students enrolled in homemaking class- es did much to p r ep ar e themselves for a brighter future in America, one which lay in the founding of secure and happy families. Cooking a complete meal, sewing one's own dress, and discussingproblems of fam- ily life were am ong the experiences that they enjoyed. Mingling fun with their work, the students learned that family life is a serious busi- ness, that it con si st s of much more than just food and clothing. Some of the facets of ho m e life studied were the care and guidance of children, fur- ni shing for the home, family budgets , use and conservation of home equipment, mainte- nance of good health, home care of the sick, the utilization and management of human and material resources available to the home, and the development of personal qualities ac- ceptable to others. They learned of the vari- ous elements that constitute a well-harmo- nized family--self-understanding, accept- ance of the qualities and mistakes of others, and a growing maturity on the part of all fam - ily members. Headed by Mrs. Millington, department chairman, the homemaking cl a s s e s pro- vided limitless opp o r t u niti es for future homemakers, chefs, designers, dieticians, dressmakers , models, and others interested in this valuable and multilateral field. DRESSMAKING is one of the mainy skills taught in home lx g classes. lhcse tlirt-Q: r-Inuit' I I l I I .1tezi.llbel01'c V1'ut'eefl1Iig with llltjillllllllltl-xlltl st-xxing, t e dtandaccurateinlayingoutlhepat1er'n.lnclcuttingIment Y---. i . sjsmij X it gf ', Q i 1 ,qi 5 44 'Www ei., , ff -qu iv! , K - Aj . .f,. an 45-4' M Ms J -H 'W ,.,V KVLF Vlfi .'VV:V,Vk

The boys were also familiarized with insects and insecticides, farm equipment, dif- ferent types of fertilizers, simple plumb- ing, poultry farming, and horticulture. Through observation and actual experi- ence, they learned about the many phases of agricultural life. They were given addi- tional help through demonstrations, field trips, lectures, and experiments. Ag boys grew vegetables, fruits, flow- ers and ornamental plants in the spacious plots on the corner of King and Pensacola Streets and the one next to the senior core building. They also cared for chickens, ducks, and turkeys. Agriculture classes helped the school in the upkeep of abeautiful campus and in pro- viding flowers and other stage decorations for assembly programs. DUCK-RAISING is a job that requires daily care. One of the chore s of the agriculture student is the preparation of food for the feathered animals. IMPROVING McKINLEY'S CAMPUS is a continuous endeavor of the agricultural classes.
