The faculty of our Manual Arts Department trains the hands of students to become proficient in the crafts. The well-carved frame for our canvas was made in our Manual Arjs Department. In the workshops students had the joy of learning to design and create articles with their own hands. Our printers developed techniques which could be compared to the work of professionals. Without the co-operation of the Photography Department the Periscope and Annual would not have been able to capture memorable school events. The entire school benefited by the efforts of this department. Dave Thomas’ skilled fingers add final touches to his project. The woodwork students developed their creative talents and produced many beautiful and useful things. Albert Huntress Adviser, Angling Club David Lapp M.Ed. Thomas J.

The painting of World History has never been completed. The glow of tomorrow's destiny con- stantly brightens the faint hue of yesterday. We hove been taught by the Social Studies Department how to analyze the shadows of the past so that we may wisely contribute to the Democracy of our country. After having studied the problems of Early European and American History, we appre- ciate the value of peace. Our citizenship classes stressed the important role that the Federal and State government, as well as every individual, must play in its achievement. Now we must apply our brushes to the page in history on which we will represent the citizens of today's America. 17

In the food division they learned how to create tempting, well-balanced meals. Film strips illustrated the many variations possible for common dishes. The girls in this branch were also shown how to save time at housekeeping. The creative sewing course enabled many to make modish clothes from plain materials. They mastered the sewing machine and its numerous attachments while perfecting their artistic talents. Their achieve- ments were displayed at the annual Home Eco- nomics Fashion Show.
