Individuals worked at their own level and many girls exceeded the required number of proiects due at the con- clusion of the course. The cooking classes compared processed and home- made foods and studied the value of food in both quality and flavor.

Auto mechanics classes received new test equipment this year which helped the boys in their practical work and further advanced their learning. Print- ing classes experimented with textile printing, and again printed most of North Central's programs, tickets, and newspapers. Drafting classes took trips to see houses being built, thus motivating the boys to improve their architectural drawings and model structures. Applying the various techniques of design, Greg Pfau perfects his drawing plans with the use of T- square, triangle, and drawing board. We- l
