THB BOYS' SHOPS In the electric shop, under the expert supervision of Mr. Schacter, students learn the prin ciples and practices of electric- ity. Pupils can make anything from electric bangoes to crystal radios. This shop is one of the few in the city equipped with a ham sending and receiving stat- ion. In Mr. Moore's metal stop,pup- ils construct many useful pro- jects. Pupils learn to read and understand job lay-outs. Then this knowledge is put to use in making projects such as waste- paper.baskets and ash trays. Mr. Moore also instructs his students in the operation of various mach- ines, such as the drill press and lathe. Mr. Erdin occupies the small- est shop in the school, the wood- shop, but he utilizes every inch of space in instructing boys in wood-crafts. Boys learn the use of important hand tools: the saw, the plane, and the hammer. Skills learned in this shop will be put to practical use by every boy who intends to own a home. Mr. Sugerman's printing shop is actually a well-equipped print ing plant. Pupils learn how to check type cases and how to count letters. Mr. Sugarman trains his students in print-shop discipline to prevent accidents. He teaches his students by means of ingeniou sound movies created by himself. All of the shops, electricity, sheet metal, wood-working, and printing play an important role in rounding off a pupil's learn- ing experiences in a junior high.

These classes also give you a chance to consider home economics as a career. 1 Home economics is divided into four parts: millinery, clothing, novelties, and cooking. Each of the four classes is equipped with necessary machines and tools which are at your disposal. Our millinery teacher is Mrs. Jones. In this particular shop, you learn how to knit and block hats. Some of the hats which come out of this shop are exquis- ite. Miss Mathews' cooking shop has five miniature kitchens equipped with stoves, sinks, utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Here you learn how to make cakes, puddings 44 1 soups and many other dishes. Mrs. Brown's clothing class has several sewing machines, irons, and ironing boards. Here the girls make blouses and skirts. They select a suitable pattern and material. Then they fashion the fabric according to the pat- tern, et voila, one has another addition to her wardrobe. Novelties is conducted by Mrs. Halpern. Here the girls make items which may be given as pre- sents or may be used to decorate a room. Included among the fin- ished products are stuffed ani- mals of all sizes and shapes, dolls, and needlepoint tapestry. You have probably enjoyed some of these classes in the past year, and you still have something to look forward to in your coming years at Walt Whitman Junior High. Agnes Friedman Xl I x 07 Eggffz
