Mechanical drawing, and the wood, metal, and auto shops give students an opportunity to work with their hands as well as their minds. Here, in this voca- tional wing, creative minds are allowed to wander- the results are often pleasing to both the maker and the observor. In the woodsliop carpentry training is available to those who plan to make it a trade or hobby. Many useful objects are cut for ornamental and practical purposes in metal shop while in the auto shop the individual can tinker with engines to his heart,s content. MR.

ef-JH.. ART MR. HARRY ROBERTSON The strange objects seen behind the doors of our Art Department are created by students in the two art courses now available. In the first year the student is instructed in the basic fundamentals of sketching in pencil, India ink, and charcoal, and working with pastels and water colors. Near the end of this ele- mentary course they work with copper enameling, jewelry and linoleum blocks. In the second year they advance to three-dimensional projects including pot- tery, mobiles, and wire and tooth pick sculptures. Out- side activities are assigned to supplement the class work.

Girls Miss LYNETTE BIRKINS If you want a good grade, girls, get the pointsf' And if you hear it often enough you begin to believe it. And you hear it often enough. Donit be fooled by the decorous appearance of the green, red, white, blue, and yellow gymsuits. Each girl is seriously trying in her own way to excel in a particular sport . . . learn the rules . . . be skilled in the skills . . . play the game like a real sport . . . And if she is a physical wreck from all this effort it doesnit matter-SHE has an A. Every- one can learn SOMETHING well, for there are sundry units of study-soccer, volleyball, basketball, modern dance and relaxation. Now XVHO can't excel in relax- ation? Itis an interesting class and all the girls enjoy it. The more ambitious ones-and there are quite a few- may take part in additional sports after school hours- swimming and bowling being among the most popular. There are exchange playdays with neighboring schools in basketball, etc. and sometimes we win. Our gym teachers are firm with us, but we all like them because THEY are PEOPLE! They even laugh once in a while. Seriously though, they have given us a class period we enjoy and learn in. The department is ably headed by Miss Birkins fain the gym, girlsvl and assisted by Mrs. Resnick Cuare you sure this gym suit is clean? j and Mrs. Seidler Cnremove your gum and two points offvl.

As you enter the gymnasium during class, the sound of Mr. Formichellais You will attend and you shall enjoyf, are the first words you hear. Then a mad jumble of grunts, groans, and various other sounds of pure ecsta- sy reach you. As these sound effects die out, and the fel- las get ready for the daily fun, there is an explanation of the game, given either by Mr. Moravetz or Mr. Formi- chella. If you're really lucky, Mr. Schnitzer will poke his smiling face into the gym and the day is almost com- plete. Suddenly, there is the loud shrill of a whistle and the ordeal begins. VVhether itis war, basketball, or what- have-you, the game is thoroughly enjoyed by all. As the period draws to a close, the boys dash madly to the locker room to dress for the next class, refreshed and ready to endure any and all of the tortures their other instructors can dream up.
