Wooden It Be Loverly Looking for a wardrobe closet? Or how about some handsomely finished tables and shelves? lf you open the door to Powers' Wood- shop Department, chances are fairly good that you've come to the right place. With the addition of John Miller to its staff, Powers' curriculum grew this year to include a woodshop class. The primary obiective of such a course is to give the student knowledge in wood finishing and the efficient operation of power and hand tools. Many have taken advantage of this new course. If you're serious about that table or shelving unit, pay a visit to the woodshop department. There, amidst the sawdust and radial arm saws, you may iust find what you've been looking for. Top: Denise Lorenc confers with Mr. Miller on whether to give up or keep on sawing. bottom left: Will it fit?
