IN THE GYRINASIUIXI Perhaps the outstanding exhibit was the woodworking display. Comments were heard on all sides, not only of the strik- ing manner in which it was presented, but rather of the perfection of the involved workmanship. In such a display one mar- vels at the accomplished result and well might the students be proud of their ac- of ap- complishments. hlore difficult preciation was the instructional exhibit of the motor mechanics section. An object of interest was a test bench to diagnose all faults in a car's ignition system. Also in the exhibit was a complete wiring working assembly of a car and a demon- stration model showing the principle of the electric hand gear changing device. Another point of interest was the machine shop section showing precision work on vices. tap wrenches. candlesticks and milling cutters. Rather unique was the in- dustrial geography display which included relief maps to indicate the world's food and mineral supplies and the sources of the raw products. The draughting exhibit was divided between the gymnasium and the regular draughting rooms and includ- ed 1'elated projects, that is, machines. etc., draughted in connection with other de- partments and then the actual work con- summated in the shops. The art exhibit was a focal point of interest. vivid poster and decorative designs in pen, ink and water colours. flaunting themselves i11 natural and formal patterns. Some pastels depicted daisies and other flowers of con- ventionalizcd formation. The display also included some interesting landscapes of an ex-pupil. A model barn complete with hinged doors. corrugated iron roof and built to scale afforded favorable comment. IN THE SHOPS The electrical C'0llSt1'llCfl0l1 room was the evidence of a great amount of work. The house wiring circuits, voltmeters and electrical gadgets were a source of ex- treme interest to the spectators. It may be noted that all electrical effects in the auditorium were the product of the elec- trical and machine departments. The machine shop was a source of activity. All machines were in operation. attended by skillful students, each having a de- finite task to perform. It is rather a coni- mentary to observe that visitors would rather view inetallremoved in the mass than intricate operations. The woodwork- ing shop evidenced that building con- struction was a live subject. hfodel stair- cases challenged the eye in this depart- ment. In the chemistry and physics
