l INDUSTRIAL ARTS At the beginning of the year, twelve weeks were :spent on mechanical drawing, which con- sisted of Orthographic projection and lsometric drawing. The rest of the year has been devoted to woodwork in its various forms. The boys have completed many different projects: they have made a basketball scoreboard, a timekeeper's table, racks for the books in the assembly, a cupboard, a boat, and many other small articles and also have rcfinished the benches in the shop, the tables in the study hall, and the desks in several of the rooms. The last twelve weeks have been devoted to making scale model airplanes. Each boy in the shop has a certain duty to perform each day. A tool check system has been installed whereby each boy has to check his tools out of the tool room. He is expected to know the names of all the tools in the shop, of what each is made, and also their use and care. He is also expected to know the common types of joints and how to apply the common finishes. I lzveally-zzizze

r HOME ECONCDMICS R-r-r-i-n-gl Classes change, so we will look in Room 2 and see what's cookin '. The foods class is going strong. This class studies the prepara- tion of foods and how to serve them. They prepare their menus, do their own marketing, and serve complete meals. The days the girls look forward to are the three days a week when they cook be- cause they may eat what they have prepared. Another class held in the same room is sew' ing. Here the girls are learning to fashion new garments and make over old ones of which they have tired. As another hour rolls around and we glance into this room, we find the home management girls designing, furnishing, and managing their dream homes. Other units in the years course include home nursing, foods, clothing, and in fact, every- thing that pertains to home and community life. fzztellfy-eight
