THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT Our Library has also shown remarkable improvement in the last year or so. A larger space has been required for this department. Miss Mar- vis Summers has charge of this work, and few ever find fault with the management. THE CAFETERIA The Cafeteria has also grown very much in the last year. A picture is here shown that gives a view of the waiting counter. Almost anything that can be desired can be bought here.

MECHANICAL DRAWING DEPARTMENT Miss Elizabeth Siddall has succeeded in placing her department well to the front in importance in the two years she has been here. The Me- chanical Drawing classes include four years of work. Many very good workmen have teen developed who are headed towards a successful profes- sional career, The classroom is large and very well equipped with the most up to date material available. THE PRINT SHOP This is where the iiSeagull is printed. Printing is taught in the same manner as at a regular printing school. The course is under the direction of Mn R. Winfree, who is a very capable instructor, indeed. Not only is the Seagull,y printed here, but it is also bound here, and better work or workmen can hardly be found anywhere.

THE MACHINE SHOP AND AUTO MECHANICS The Machine Shop is about the most up-to-date place in the High School now, with the new drills, lathes, etc. Here they teach the young aspirants for machinist's wages the latest machine shop methods and the practical working of the lathes, drills, presses, etc. The Auto Mechanics is similar in that it is very modern and is very well equipped. The stu- dents tear up autos and put them together again With equal facility. WOODWORKING DEPARTMENT Turning out tables is not the only occupation of the ones that are for- tunate enough to have taken this course, as they turn out many objects from here that are not only useful but artistic. The equipment in wood- working machines is very full, embracing wood lathes, planers, band saws, circular saws and in fact about all the equipment of the modern wood- working shop of any industrial plant.
