Cjenesud Slvo x The boys in grades VII-XI in our Col¬ legiate receive one afternoon of General Shop instruction every week. This course consists of work on projects of wood or me¬ tal, whichever the individual chooses, and for which he pays only the cost of the ma¬ terial used. Both the metal and wood turn¬ ing lathes are always occupied. Numerous ornamental and useful articles have been turned out on these machines. This year especially, a lot of aluminum casting has been done. A little book-binding and wood carving have also been done. During the latter part of this school term we have be¬ gun a little work in plastics. Beautiful work can be done with this material but it is very expensive. For the completion of the pro¬ jects the boys have the use of the shop’s many power-driven machines, and its exten¬ sive supply of tools. PAGE THIRTY

The Home Economics Classes of Grade IX, X, XI have been very active this year doing everything ' from washing tea towels to serving elaborate dinners and preparing the graduation banquet. All three groups have had a dinner to which one or more of the teachers were invited. The girls, eager to please their class mates who were slaving away in the manual training shop, held buffet luncheons which the boys needed no coaxing to attend. In response to the intriguing invitation “Come and get fed up in the Dungeon” an eager ac¬ ceptance came back, artistically engraved on a piece of 2”x4”. One of the important events of the year was the Red Cross Tea. An army of Grade X girls raided the town for cakes and pies and other good things for the tables. They found their mission a most pleasant one as every one was ready to give of his or her best. The tea was a huge success in spite of a blizzard which raged all day. Net proceeds of the Tea came to $88.20. PAGE TWENTY-NINE
