 A C T I V I T I E S Industrial arts was made part of the curriculum the first year that Valley High existed. None of the schools which made up the new unit had offered this subject. A shop was made from the north half of the old garage and stable at what had been Fair- view Community High School. T hus far. work in mechanical drawing and wood work have been offered. It is hoped that the course can be broadened as conditions permit. In mechanical drawing, the boys learn to read and make simple working drawings. In wood work, they have learned to use hand and power tools in the construction of furniture, ranging from small table lamps to kitchen cabinets and kneehole desks. This course has been very popular because of its usefulness.
