LEARNING BY DOING Drafting and architecture make up a great part of the Mechanical Arts course. To the Industrial Arts Department have been added metal working and welding. Stu- dents in this course get varied ex- periences in consumer buying, in- dustrial processes, tool and ma- chinery operations. The shop is run on the factory system dividing the shop into two groups, labor and management. A superinten- dent and foreman make up the management while the rest of the class are the laborers. Mr. Massey has the know how and it ' s contagious say his students. MR. JOHN T. MASSEY B.S. East Carolina College Industrial Arts, Mechanical Drawing MR. ROY J. BROWN, JR. A.B. Atlantic Christian College Physical Education, Geography LEAD TO PHYSICAL FITNESS Organized games and recreation keep Jack from being a dull boy. Through our health and physical education program, we develop good sportsmanship, release and channel pent up energy and pro- vide recreational interests that carry over into adult hobbies for leisure hours. We have positive proof that this game is not fixed. 14

A PRACTICAL AND . . . ENJOYABLE COURSE Eyes on paper, fingers on keys sounds the refrain in typing cla ss.

WE EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS THROUGH ART In our art course students, un- der the direction of Mrs. Edna Earle Adams, become familiar with the works of Titian, Leonardo De Vinci, Raphael, Picasso, and many others. Most enjoyable of all is their expressions of crea- tiveness found in bulletin boards, posters puppets, copies of the old masters and oriofinals. Who knows? You may be looking at a future Picasso. OUR LIBRARY— THE NUCLEUS OF LEARNING Essential to the entire student body is the library. Each year our library strives to render more efficient service through the irhprovement of research facilities. Mrs. Vinson has a trained corps of workers that handle chores and assist students in the many calls that come to the library daily. MRS. EDNA EARLE ADAMS Primary B East Carolina College Art MRS. H.
