the machine room In this depart
ment The machinery is run by one
motor. and Is also connected On the
same shaft
The Freshman year work is very
simple, and the first real problem IS
a foot stool They vary somewhat
as l0 the project. but they always
use the same joints. Forty-five min
utes is all the time they have each
day in which TO work, and part Of
that time Is consumed by the getting
out and putting away Of their tools,
so they really do not have much time
10 do anything.
The S0phmOro class makes tables.
table lamps, candle sticks, small box
Is. nut bowls, etc, and their work
is in the larger joints They also
use the turning lathe, which is too
dangerous for the freshmen 20 use.
One boy in the Sophmore class has
made an entire breakfast room suite.
Caneing is also done in this class.
and their stools and chairs that they
make IN this way are really more
durable and just as good looking as
those bought az furniture store.
The Junior and Senior work is
combined They have mechanical
drawing twice a week. and as this is
the first year they have had this,
they have no affiliation on this sub
ject. but hope to get one unit this
year. They work in still larger prob
blems, making library tables, cedar
chests, writing desks, book cases,
rocking chairs. etc. One boy in this
class has been offered SIS for his
cedar chest. Different kinds Of lum-
her are used in this class in order 10
familiarize the student with the char
acteristics Of the different grades
and classes. They have no appara-
tus for making blue prints. so this
part of the work is left out.
They received their first affilia-
ton in manual training last year
which was / 1-2 units. This year
they hope TO get another unit which
will then make 2 1-2.
