Gone With The Wind The aviation club is a student organ- ization, being limited largely to senior and junior boys, who have come together with aviation as their pursuit of a num- ber of objectives. These may be enum- erated under the following heads: to pro- vide in the study of aviation, its future possibilities and its future development; to provide extent in aviation as speakers and instructors, enabling the common citizen to become well informed; to pro- vide programs expounding some of the principles of aviation and the construc- tion and operation of airplanes, thereby enlarging their own knowledge; to in- form members as to the opportunities of- fered by aviation as a vocation and an avocation and lastly to make more avail- able for themselves and you, worthwhile literature dealing with aviation, its prog- ress and development. The club meets every two weeks, and there are usually most interesting dis- cussions of an informal nature, and, when possible, aviators and others are invited from local flying field to discuss various phases of their calling, and to answer the numerous questions eagerly asked by the members. At other times members give well prepared talks covering some interesting feature of aviation. Shop Work 23

Hubbard Men Of Iron Art Student 22 The curriculum of the Industrial and Fine Arts Department includes a study of the materials, tools, processes, products, and personnel in as many industrial and fine arts occupations as can be taught in our high school. In the study of the processes the student makes projects. He uses these projects and develops certain skills which may be useful to him. Then if he finds that he wishes to follow one of the lines of work he has studied, or to use one as a hobby or avocation he has been fully prepared and knows this art. These projects are usually things which have a great interest for the student; therefore he puts forth his best effort and lends a real interest to his work. Those articles which he makes have certain economic value since he takes them home and uses them, or in rare cases sells them, getting a direct re- turn for his work. In the study of materials, tools and products, the general education of the student gets valuable information which will help him to select more intelligently the occupation he may wish to follow. Thus the student is benefited and trained for a life work or material happiness which in both cases is a great deal helpful to him.
