Exhibit Draws Large crowd.
Friday evening, the annual school
exhibit was held at the Washing
ton, Industrial and High School
buildings. The departments that
made the exhibit possible was the
art, penmanship, Freshmen manual
training, opportunity work, sewing
and mechanical and architectural
drawing, typewriting, bookkeeping
and machine shop work.
The art department displayed
work that the young artists can be
proud of. This department consist
ed of water color painting, print
ing and carpet weaving. A few of
the grade students gave a demons
tration of their efficiency as pen
men, while the exhibit was going
on. Much of the success of the
exhibit is due to The arrangement
of the furniture, together with the
many cozy pieces of furniture. The
woodwork department consisted of
Bullets, davenports, morris chairs,
cedar chests, rockers, library tables,
and a kitchen cabinet. The grade
work consisted of envelope boxes
and settees. The opportunity room
walls were decorated with rugs thai
the children have been making dur
ing the year. The Opportunity
room surprised many of the visit
ors. In one corner girl was
busily at work at the loom. In
another corner a table was covered
with toys that the youngsters made.
Small doll furniture filled the table.
The greatest care was taken in The
making of these articles. On a
bench lay soft scrub brushes that
the pupils made. Here again the
youngsters showed their ability to
do hand work. Many comments
came from the sewing room some
thing like this, isn't that a pretty
dress" The Freshmen work con-
sisted mostly of dresses, aprons and
bags. The Sophomores, showed their
skill on the machine and with the
needle by the results shown, their
work consisted of aprons, blouses
and skirts, while the Jr.-Sr. work

fashions and making roses. The
rendering of architectural drawings
seemed to meet with the approval
of all present. This consisted main
ly of buildings, and detail drawing.
The mechanical drawings consisted
of different parts of machines, and
the drawings of The furniture that
the Freshmen made. The students
of the typewriting class showed
their ability as typists. IN the
bookkeeping department a few stud
ents made an effort to keep books,
and keep them straight.
At 1880 the buzz of the machine
shop filled the halls of the Indus
trial building. Every machine was
in motion. The Seniors were max
ing a large bench wise, factory
style. The Juniors displayed grease
cups and other small articles. The
