1 9 N013,f,1,1GI13g 50 THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURAL BUILDING 'W This building is separate from the main building. It houses the industrial arts and vocational agriculture departments. This building which was constructed mainly from material secured from War Surplus Administration is sixty-eight feet by one hundred forty-eight feet. The shop and the farm shop, each has one large entrance twelve feet by twelve feet. Their floors are concrete and their walls are covered with wall board. The east part of the building is the industrial arts section. This part has a large shop room thirty-three feet by sixty-seven feet, a class room, a finishing room, a storage room, and a planning room. Mr. Murvin Brown is the teacher of this section. The shop I boys painted the large room with surplus paint. The shop also has a new sander this year which was built by the boys for S10 but which is worth 5250. This year for the first time the shop has offered a night class for the adults of the surrounding community. The shop in our estimation is very well furnished. Much of the equipment was made by the boys. The west part of the shop building is the farm shop section. The large shop room in this part is thirty-seven feet by sixty-four feet. Besides this room there is also a storage room, laboratory, tool room, and class room in which agriculture and veteran classes meet. Mr. James 'Clinton is teacher and supervisor of this section. The farm shop was used for the first time this year and all new tools were bought for the agriculture section. The tools installed in this shop are arc and acetylene welders, power drill, and various small hand tools. Most of the shop work and the work of building storage cabinets for the shop tools and work benches is being done by the agriculture IV boys. This whole building is heated by a fuel oil furnace. Besides these two shops there are two offices and a very well equipped projection room housed in this new building. JANITOR We seniors appreciate the help and understanding our janitor, Fred, has given to us. Fred is always offering his help to anybody who needs it. He has been with the senior class all through high school. We would hardly know how to put on a play or a carnival if it weren't for Fred's helping with the lights, sound effects and a dozen other things. Our school is one of the best in Southern Illinois. It has been up to Fred to keep it in tip-top condition. Fred not only looks after the school but also helps the cooks in the kitchen and lunch line. LUNCHROOM The lunchroom is the room that most students rush for at the end of the third period. The three familiar faces that we see behind the counter each day are those of Mrs. Waddle, Mrs. Clark, and Mrs. Stephenson. We wish to express our most sincere thanks to these persons who have made our lunch hour more enjoyable and also permitted us to use the lunchroom when we had the concessions at basketball games.
