WOODWARD Machine Shop University of Alabama Lovers ok Music Welcome Music Appreciation Music lovers of Murphy are happy in the new class in music appreciation that has been added to the curriculum. Under the direction of Mrs. Myrtle Peter the class is making great progress. Its purpose is to build an appreciation of music by listening to records of some of the great artists and through studying their lives and their music. These music lovers hear reports from members of the class and attend performances of local and visiting artists whenever possible. One of their projects has been to build a stage and enact an opera. Members of the class tal- ented in singing often share their talent with the class purely for enjoyment. M OH I AN [23

WILLIAMSON General Science Tulanc University Where Apple Boxes Become Medicine Cabinets One of the busiest places in school is the wood- wording shop at Barton, under the direction of Mr. George Snyder. The picture shows three boys who glanced indifferently at the photogra- pher and went straight back, to their work. One of them looked up impatiently when the flash bulb went off. As one problem of the shop has been that of securing sufficient materials for their numerous projects, the boys have learned inge- nuity in using apple boxes and scrap plywood. Their productions are chiefly useful ones: such as. stcpladdcrs. tabourets, bread boxes, tool chests, bird houses, medicine cabinets, and canes for crippled veterans. MOIIIAN [25
