Plain turning and knurl- ing on the wetal lathe has proved quite popular. A visit to the department would soon reveal that hot metal work in the forge and on the anvil is not a lost art.

Other metal work includes solderin5,drawin5, grindind, shapiny, sheet Letal, threading, pipe cutting, etc. L six week unit in mechanical and arch- itectral drawing proves very beneficial.

The group sinps in four parts: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. The Mixed Chorus is not as active as the other musical organisations. However, they have taken part in a number of programs in the school. From this 5roup was chosen a special ensemble to sing at the Chorus Festival. The Mixed Chorus presented two numbers for the annual local Farmers'lnstitute namely, nThe Noon is Upn and nFinlandian by Sibelius. , . , . V l Some of our repertoire we do unaccompanied. Although we have not mastered a cdpella singing, we have gone a long way. We hope in the near future Republic can have a Capella rcbed choir of nhich it can be proud,
