Mr. Shumwny shows fl blueprint of the future to his Mechanical Drawing class. General Shop offers usuful voca- tional training for many boys. Working our hands is the slogan-of the Mechanical Arts de- partment. This department gives our sons actual training in practical work in the Auto Mechanics, Mechanical Drawing, Manual Training and Agricultural classes. These courses attract the interest of our boys as they often provide a prospective oc- cupation. As this is a farming district, we find many of our boys taking agriculture and agriculture appreciation to aid them in their work at home. Also, many find increased plea.ure in making furniture that can be used in their homes. Always, when we are discussing the department, there is a remark of praise ot the Fine instructors chosen to teach these mechanical arts. M, I., Futirhunks Kimball Nehaon H. B.
