Pre-engineering training is the general objective in the shop program, and many boys find an outlet for creative ability. The well equipped shop includes heavy duty machine lathes, drill presses, power saws, arc welders, three Dodge automobile en¬ gines, and a Kinner airplane engine. Much practical instruction is received from the instructor Mr. Walter Wolever. Students with projects of their own, work them out during shop class. Safety is being stressed first and always.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Look from the windows of the school, and if it is a pleasant day, you will see the boys ' physical education program in prog¬ ress on the field. Nine weeks in the fall and nine in the spring the boys romp in our out-of-door gym. Some day, looking from the same window, we shall see an imposing gymnasium, which will house the extensive physical education and athletic programs of the school. Mr. Gordon Straley keeps many boys happy and healthy through his fine supervision and constant efforts. Page 78
