The Industrial Arts Department holds forth in the basement of Adams House. There are courses for every interest, including technical drawing, a two-year course which prepares stu- dents for engineering schools and post-grad- uate trade courses. Other courses of the depart- ment are Industrial Crafts, which gives students tool experience, and Home Construction, which introduces students to the materials and costs involved in construction.

Guidance couselors serve as liaison between student and teacher, student and distant administration, student and parents, or student and fellow student. They answer questions and solve problems from the IBM machine fouled up my schedule to what did l get on my SAT's to what should I major in at college. The advice of the de- partment is expertly informed and always shows genuine concern for students as individuals. - s 2 ...
