High School Art 1 N A 1 ART The Art Department offers a. wide variety in the choice of courses, such as basic art, oil painting, and crafts, and the chance to develop our skills or, in some cases, to discover an unexpected talent. We are very much aware of our Art Department when we see the elaborate decorations and paintings that adorn but halls during the Christmas season. Another feature of the department is the display of art work and paintings to which the public is invited at the end of the school year. V

Industrial Arts I DUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department, headed by Mr. Joseph Horney, has many definite and worthwhile objectives aimed at benefitting students in both Junior and Senior High School. The students gain knowledge as well as skill by learning the operation of the various industrial machines and the use of modern materials, This department offers an excellent opportunity to stu dents planning a career in Industrial Science to receive background material, and it affords all boys the opportunity to begin hobbies that will give them pleasure for many years. The value of the experiences gained in Industrial Arts is measureless. Frank C. Komorowski B.S. Auto Mechanics, Visual Aids Advisor Mr. Horney stimulates good practices in future teachers. With more cars and more drivers than ever before, driving requires more and more skill. We can teach these required skills very effectively in dual controlled cars. But more importantly, if we are to be competent, skilled drivers, we must possess certain attitudes, emotional control, and a mature sense of responsibility. Instilling in our new drivers the qualities that go with driving-good judgement, good sportsmanship, foresight, alertness, controlled attention, and consideration for others can best be done in a classroom backed by visual aids, up-to-date textbooks, as well as on the road practice. State laws regarding motor vehicle operation, care and maintenance, insurance, accident reporting, physical condition of the driver, and natural laws and how they affect motor vehi- cles are all considered part of our well-rounded Driver Education program. 24 DRIVER EDUCATIO Harold A.
