A sense of accomplishment is probably the greatest asset of this course. Throughout the year, the classes engage in such activities as oil painting, clay work, basket weaving, wood carving, mosaics, and jeweh'y-making. The boys in shop work on one of their many projects. An art student places the finishing touches on his painting. Industrial Arts Students may use this vocational course to prepare for a career in various fields or may acquire a skill just for their own per- sonal enjoyment. Attractive and worth- while projects are undertaken every year by each boy in order to acquaint him with the machinery and the actual assem- bling of his project. Besides the actual shop course, mechanical drawing is pro- vided for those who wish to take it. This gives the boys a background in the read- ing and drawing of blueprints.
