In an effort to solve this problem, the Industrial Arts and Agriculture departments were moved into rooms which were constructed in the bus garage by partitioning off three-fifths of the floor space in that building. There is considerable less floor space in the shop than there was in the main building, but the same ac- tivities are being carried on suc- cessfully with no appreciable han- dicap. General Shop activity is being offered for the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, XYood- Row 1: R. VVelch, M. Hall, Mr. Schasel, J. Vkfenzel, R. Masson, F. Dalesio. work for the eleventh grade- and General Metal for the twelfth grade. Girls. as well as boys, par- ticipate in the seventh and ninth grade Industrial Art classes. This year a new field of activity, Plastics, has been added to the General Shop set-up. Many varied and useful projects are being created by the pupils participating in the In- dustrial Arts Program. Boys and girls are both encouraged to participate in the Industrial Arts program. Z ' i: I 1',?f I T N M , - ' ' NW K' 1 OIL, f 16 '
