'I VOCATIONAL TRAINING Much stress is Put on vocational train- ing in Central. Muncie has always been noted for its glass factories, but it is only of recent years that the coming of many factories connected with the 2.LltO- mobile industry and the demand for skilled workmanship in all trades has been felt and met by the school. We are proud of the work of the car- pentry class. It has been recognized by Better Homes in America, a national or- ganization headed by President Herbert Hoover. Each spring the boys begin a house which they finish in the autumn. Al fbc Carpenterls Bench A Draffing Problem The architect's drawing in this section is of the fifth boy-built house and was made by a boy in the drafting depart- ment. The 1930 house is a cottage of English style. One of the new features, so far as boy-built houses go, is the arched ceiling in the living room. There are six rooms: living and dining rooms, two bedrooms, a nursery, and a kitchen. A disappearing stairway leads to the atticg in the basement there is an attrac- tive den. The furnishings for the house were selected by the girls of the advanced class in home economics. On the day the house was opened for the public, pamphlets concerning the building were distributed to the visitors. Pugv Scvvnleeu
