'If Scfxoal EMMA acne '7fmuung, Either as a future vocation or as a prof- itable avocation, the machine shop course at the NYA vocational school is not one to pass up, if a boy is at all interested in learning to make useful articles. He may be fond of such particular equipment as lathes, drill presses, milling machines, grinders, electric hack saws, planes, or shavers. And he should be, for training on such machines as these can be very useful some day if one wants to become a machinist or power tool operator, either for his own pleasure or as a highly slcilled land thus highly paidj employee in some factory. Learn and earnn might well be the motto of this busy class. The boys in Mitchell high school are lucky indeed to be able to take some of the vocational courses that they do. For instance, the training that they are able to receive in radio maintenance and repair today, can be very valuable in the world of tomorrow. The sciences of radio and electronics, especially radar, are still in their infancy as far as development is concernedg so any boy who can get in on the ground floor of this bright new field has great possibilities in learning a profit- able and interesting trade for the years to come.

To prove it, we give you the Girls' Ath- letic Association, which is a state organization for high school girls. The constitution, under which the organization now functions, was re- vised in 1938, and sets up a system whereby a girl may earn awards through the point system. Cf these awards, the first is a local, 100-point circular G.A.A. emblem. The state awards are 300-point circular felt G.A.A. emblems, 600- point small chenille M's, a 900-point large M, and a 1200-point pin to any member who has participated three years in the program and has earned a suflicient number of points.
