The woodworking and the cabinet making classes have a wealth of machinery. ln these departments the students obtain skill in using power machines and hand tools.

In the eleventh grade, typing and shorthand are both taken. ln the twelfth grade, typing and shorthand are continued. The stu- dent may also take secretarial practice to help prepare him for the position of secretary.

Another subiect offered is commercial law, which is a useful course for any person to take, for it gives an un- derstanding ofthe basic laws used in the business world.
