,SZAOJ af 'lfllw reach that note, we now say goodbye to them. Let's turn a few corners and explore down a long hall to discover a group of boys sitting before crossflegged benches. They are Mr. Hain1ine's first year mechanical drawing class trying their skill with T squares, rulers, and com' passes. Looking around the room we also discover a semifcircle of music stands. This is the band room also where dur' ing third hour the tooting freshmenptest the scales. Here in fourth hour the advanced band combine their talents into sweet melodies and vigorous marches. Back around the corners and down the corridor to the future homemakers of Home Economics I. The class is in the kitchen today making cornbread. Miss Rice, head chef, is lending every' one a helping hand. The Bulletin sounds rather odd with 1 cup flour , stir constantly and add pinch of salt appearing between news items. Although the aroma is wonderful we must continue. Bang! Bang! Cuch! The sounds from Industrial Arts class lead us to assume that someone missed a nail. As Mr. Stanton shouts our news above the noise of machines, let's watch the chips fly from the lathe. Back through the corridor and up the stairs to the office. Before Vending our trip we must visit the gym. Qn open' ing the door we hear a few groans which are explained when we see the boys doing their calisthenics. Mr. Miller is calling the counts and they are really working for their muscles. Rest time to receive our news. We have arrived back at our starting point now, so we will say goodbye to our host and we hope you like the trip. I P.-Milf SlXTYfNlNl'I1
