SCHOOL EXHIBIT
Continued From Page oneo

This work was divided into groups and
ranged from pencil and ink designs to
more advanced water color and oil
paintings. The specimens shown dis
played advancement over last years
display. Miss Frances Stokes is the
supervisor of the art department and
her displays of the past several years
have been shown at school mems
meetings in the east.
Displayed on the walls and on forms
in the rear of the room was the sewing
work of the grade and high school
clothing projects of the home econ
omicS departments, under the super
vision of Miss Margaret Holmberg and
Mrs. Bessie Coombe. Eminent designers
could secure ideas for designs in the
many practical specimens exhibited
Grade and high school cooking were
also demonstrated by the Misses Vienna
Somero and Audrey B. Beatty, in charge
of these departments.
The array of kitchen tables and cab
inetS, porch swings, fancy SetteeS, foot
stools, dreSSers, end tables, cedar chests
and a dozen or more other articles, too
numerous to mention, work of the in
dustrial arts section, attracted the eye.
The wood working departments are
under the supervision of Thos. j. Murn
and his assistants, Fred Handberg and
Stephen j. Smrekar. c. B. TIilliard is
in charge of the drafting in the in
dustrial departments.
The many pieces on display in this
exhibit showed skill and training. The
students are permitted to take theil
. creations home and many a home fur

by the products of their own craftsmen
The articles made by the young mer
in these classes composed necessary
pieces of furniture of which any home
can be proud.
The machine shop display of shol
, work, brass castings, ViSeS, magazine

lathe products was a revelation to man.

+ Among the many exhibits in this de-
l partment were bronze plates honorins
parents of pupils and one to the mem

little time in the general course of study
and few cents for materials, produced
a plate running up into dollars.
Not everything of exceptional merit
shown at the exhibit can be remembered
and mentioned here. We will say, how
ever, that the electrical work, whereby
aid armatures were rewound and ole
engines put into running condition, de-
serve special mention.
Last, but not least, we will state thai
the music produced by the high schoo
orchestra, under the direction of Franz
v. DiNino, is one of the high lights Of
the Ely school system. Each and every
performer on the large array of inStru-
ments is exceptionally good, promising
to become noted performers and sub
stantiate our contention made on man!
