As a result a small group of would-be fans determined to organize a club and pur- chase a seltl to be set up at the high school. Consequently they formed an organization and purchased an outfit from a citizen of the town, installing the apparatus in a small room off the physics laboratory. The members spent a great deal of time after school and at odd hours at the instruments. During the winter a very successful dance was given, the proceeds going to a fund with which, after other dances have increased it, they plan to purchase a new set of apparatus. PAGE FIFTY-SIX

MANUAL TRAINING AND LATHE DEPARTMENT. The Manual Training Department of the Petoskey ,High School was first started in 1914. At that time the classes were comparatively small, but with each succeeding year the classes have rapidly increased in size until lately it has been necessary to turn down boys who desired to en- roll for this work. The articles being made this year include many library tables, book cases, secretaries, piano benches, cedar chests, floor and table lanmps, sewing cabinets, porch swings, chairs, and innumerable smaller pieces of furniture such as footstools, taborets, etc. In addition to the above, the boys have made two sections of five tier bleachers, to accommodate the large crowds which attend our basketball games g a testing for the City Light and Power Co., and a typewriting desk for the ofiice. The Blackmer Rotary Pump Co. has loaned the department another lathe, thereby doubling the enrollment in that course. The boys get the fundamentals of lathe work and a foundation for the machinist's trade by turning shafts, facing flanges and boring and reaming collars and pulleys. Four courses are offered in Drafting: Elementary Mechanical Drawing, Machine Drawing, Mechanism, a course on machine move- ments, cams and gears, and Architectural Drawing. In addition to com- pleting the required plots in Architectural Drawing, plans were drawn for a modern two-car garage, which will be erected this summer. W. V. E., '24. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT
