industrial arts teach needed skills Pembroke High School graduates each year many students who will not go to institutions of higher learn- ing. Therefore, these students need training in skilled labors. Pembroke High School ' s Industrial Arts program offers many of these students training in these areas. They may choose from a variety of shop classes which offer manual training on the machines they will need as skilled laborers. In the wood and metal shops, students learn to operate machines and to construct their person- al projects. Some of the projects include wooded steins, — end tables and chests. In brick laying class, they learn the basics of constructing with bricks. Drafting classes teach the student to draw basic designs used in architec- tural blueprints and prepares him for jobs in the ship- yard and apprentice schools. These courses provide for a useful education in useful fields. Filling out orders for Masonry material is only one of the many duties of Mr. Woodrow West.

library provides place for study Providing the school with ample mate- rial and a quiet environment for meditat- ing. studying, and reading, the library is the backbone of our school. Through pe- riodicals, research material, and a wide variety of books, Pembroke ' s library enables the student to construct reports, term papers, and research papers. Also containing a lighter side, there is a large selection of novels for people who just enjoy to read. However, accomodating students and teachers with books and magazines are not the only job of the library. Film strips, movies, record players, and projectors are also found within the room. Mrs. Eth- el Brockley, who was in charge of visual aids, retired after twenty-five years of employment at Hampton City Schools. The heart of our school, the library, is an important asset to all students.
