Jerry Cooksey discovers that care and precision are necessary in making correct drawings for his drafting assignments. Here he designs a plan that could be used in the construction of a house. Howeites master manual skills by practice While signs of sewing and cooking are evident in the lower corridor, the school ' s southeast wing buzzes with a different sort of activity. The boys in wood and metal shop classes make and keep tools, bookcases, and other useful articles. Almost all of the tickets, programs, and forms needed by Howe for classes and special events are provided by the boys in print shop. Two semesters of physical education are required for graduation, but many Howeites take the course longer. They find that skill games, sports, and various types of dancing contribute to their health and their coordina- tion, as well as to their enjoyment. Pupils are given an opportunity to design and make rings, necklaces, bracelets, and other attractive accessories in jewelry classes. Craft art, meanwhile, shows pupils how to make change purses, wall-hangings, and other deco- rative and functional items for themselves and for use in their homes. Patience is the by-word for Sydney Fallowes, as she follows the long process of making a piece of wood smooth enough to use for her craft arts project. Page 9
