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.
