Industrial Arts Develops anual Skills Are they making counterfeit plates? The Industrial Arts department occupies most of the first floor area. The simple and complex machinery, the basic and intricate working materials found here supply the wants and needs of all shop boys, grades seven through twelve. In junior high young males use these tools and material first in beginning projects, like door stops and letter holders. As working with lathes, table saws, and drawing boards become easier, projects become, in turn, larger and more involved. By late senior high the I. A. boys have become the near-polished builders of lamps, tables, and chests. Through various courses these same students have also begun work on mechanical draw- ing, blueprint reading, and designing Qa long advancement from the first wobbly door stop.j The finished product of the shop boy, be it letter holder or table lamp, is a work only part-wood. It's also, and even more important, part-maker. Examining the look of either the thinker or seventeen year old as he dabs on the final varnish or drives in the last nail, is testimony enough of this fact - his pride in achievement and workmanship. joseph Matteo Blueprint Reading, Mechanical Drawing Pre-Tech.

Preparation For The Business World Thomas Jefferson's offering to commercial students constitute a pro- gram rich in well-planned, well-directed proficiency. Those pupils elect- ing the commercial program study have for their intended mastery, courses in typing, shorthand, business law, business math, business En- glish, bookkeeping, clerical practice, and transcription. To instruct in these areas, the school employs an efficient staff of teachers, plus the additional aids of up-to-date business machines and departmental equipment. To practice acquired skills outside the class- room and thus give students an even more concrete business experience, the department assigns sets of its pupils to various tasks in and around the high school office. Responsibilities encountered here make clear that actual practice is, as the classroom states, strictly business . With such background, commercial students can enter the business world confidently after graduating - and often, even more easily. By means of T. jfs job placement service, there is good chance that student employment following high school culmination will be soon, and per- haps, even immediate. Susan B.

L Future Homemakers Learn Their Fundamentals Unlike ordinary classrooms, the home economics room is a homey place, made up of sewing machines, kitchen sinks, and pretty-curtained windows. Such decor is appropriate, for a home economics study is designed to solve the problems and develop the skills to make the home a happy and comfortable place in which to live. The equipment provided and the atmosphere prevalent enable in- terested girls to become more adept in preparing food, stitching clothes, caring for the house and the family's health, and Cthat all important itemj making a household budget work. With careful planning and preparation, the products or end results of this feminine study are best revealed in the expression of a delighted girl first viewing her wares - a good meal just cooked, a striking jumper just finished, or an attrac- tive table setting just arranged. Definitely a practical course, home economics is also fun and work, success and failure. Basically, it is all those things that make a home, that are a home. - N A Sondra Herring Home Economics F.H.A. Seton Hill College B.S What's for lunch, Smiley?
