The shop class, under the leadership of MR. WALTER WOLEVER, has kept abreast with the world of PEACE. Metal working has large- ly replaced wood working. This change was brought about by acquiring new equipment by purchase and by allocation of war surplus ma- W if tcrial. We now have two steel lathes, a power saw, three drill presses, and an Allison airplane engine. With these new machines the students have learned practical experience in many dif- ferent lines. ln this year of VICTORY we have become aware of the needs of thc time. With serious intent we, both boys and girls, have studied Mechanical Drawing that we may have a part, perhaps, in solving the housing problem and in engineering new ideas for happy living. Page I 6

We have enjoyed reading about the fiestas and holidays of the colorful Mexicans, as well as studiously preparing our daily grammar and vocabulary lessons. Latin America has become an interesting neighbor whose language will not be too great a barrier when we, the CLASS of 1946, cooper- ate with this country on the problems of peace- time. Page 15
