YVOOD AND MACHINE SHOP Mr. Kenneth L. Kraker fzfmzamz mqmzawz In the shops, students are training to be soldiers of production. Be- cause of the increased demand for workers in strategic defense indus- tries, machine shop and mechanical drawing classes are larger this year than ever before. liven girls have joined up. Twenty of the thirty members of the special blue print reading class are girls. They too want to prepare to be the man behind the man behind the gun. Over two hundred boys and girls are enrolled in the seven periods of mechanical drawing. The machine shop operates on a twenty-one hour schedule. It not only contains nine hours of classes for the regular Harding students, but it also func- tions twelve more hours of the twenty-four to meet the needs of cit- MECHANICAL DRAWING Mr. VVilliam B. Cass izens who are preparing to take their places on the production front. Besides, Mr. Nickel and Mr. Kraker teach National Defense Classes eight hours every Saturday and Sunday. Woodshop boys have given real service this year since materials are more difficult to secure. They repair all broken furniture of the school. They have built bulletin boards and the handsome visitor's desk on the first Hoor. The training in Wood- shop helps boys secure rating as car- penter's mate in the Navy, as Well as obtain jobs in airplane factories. The school has already received letters from boys in the service, say- ing they are receiving promotions in the Army because of the skills they were taught in the vocational train- ing courses.

Services of the A Cappella Choir and the Orchestra are in perpetual demand for civic, school, and patriotic gatherings. A Choir broadcast urged the donation of blood for the Red Cross. Another pro- gram was in memory of Pearl Harbor Day. ln one patriotic assembly, the Choir presented a new number by Mr. D. Rhys Ford. This song, called HThe Flag of Faith, is lovely in sentiment. Safe 'neath its graceful folds lllay fwe e'er be, Conscious of the peace it holds, While 'waving free. Free from fwar's brutal rod, Clean, 'midst our faith in God, lllay we each clay uphold Its sanctity. Wave on, O flag of faith, Aloble ana' free. Wave above the crimson fwraith That threatens thee. From 1f6'Il UElZ'5 celestial throne, Goa' rules the fworla' alone, dna' .qlfzres us rehorn faith ln unity. YOUNG AMERICA SINGS ROW FIVE-Killingsworth, Spulher, Horvath, Hurd, B.
