Zippers must be put in. skirts must be hemmed. and darts must he made. all with much trial and error. Students are taught techniques and skills in selecting and caring for material. Students are required to make the basic patterns and several garments in order to complete the course.

P91- 's , T, tl 1... Nw ' A' 1 , Counselors Arid Students The high school student encounters many problems, both academic and personal, during his five years at Sylvan. Our counselors are kept quite busy helping the students to find solutions for their problems. When the eighth grader enters Sylvan, he is faced with the problem of adjustment. This is when the coun- selors urge him from the beginning to work hard to make good grades, and to really learn something. When the student becomes a senior, he encounters numerous problems such as having the correct credits needed to graduate, getting ajob, gaining college admis- sion, obtaining scholarships, and many others important to his future. The counselors help him patiently through this busy year. In all matters, the counselors strive, not to solve the student's problem for him, but to help him find the solu- tion for himself.

The pro- gram is one in which the student not only learns valuable fundamentals of manual works but also learns to appreciate the rewards of hard work as well. A pupil gains satisfaction from an object of his own making and takes pride in creating something of value. The mechanical drawing and advanced drafting classes prepare a boy or girl for an engineering or art career. In metal shop individuals learn basic metal working functions and to make useful articles of various metals and alloys. Woodworking, one of the older arts, teaches that patience and hard work are the only roads to suc- cess. Modern machinery is used and up-to-date methods are taught in all instances. Even to the person who pursues a non-manual vocation these courses are helpful in many ways. They teach the fundamental skills necessary in each field and give the person an elementary knowledge ofthings that may save money and time in some future period of need. The fine leadership and instruction, coupled with the adequate facilities available, make this program one ofthe finest in the school. Eighth graders are being introduced to drawing, It becomes apparent to these boys that squaring a board is not play. 18 is
