NEW COURSE
OPENS AT
NORTHWESTERN
SENIOR HIGH

In order to keep pace with the
requirements of industry, it is
Nor I h we stern Senior High
Schools policy to make continuous
improvement in techniques and
methods of teaching, and as well
as raise its standards.
The Vocational Department, in
keeping with good policies wishes
to announce that a course in Auto
motive Paint and Body Repairs
has been added to the curriculum.
We have high hopes of this course
extending the pupils knowledge
in automotive mechanics.
The two factors contributing to
the sale of today's automobile are:
performance and beauty. OF the
the two, many have agreed that
beauty is the dominant factor.
However, many things contribute
to mar this beauty. Today's cars
travel faster than their prede-
cessors. So the net results Is dam
aged tenders, smashed bodies,
etc.
The major purpose of the auto
motive paint and body course is
to provide the student carefully
supervised instruction in acquir-
ing the manipulative skills and
technical knowledge necessary to
enable the worl0er to service the
modern automobile. M d er n
equipment similar to that found
in the larger repair shops is used
in the training.
Initial phases of the course in
clude thorough study Of the selec-
ton and care of hand tools, fun
damentals of metal working, prin-
cipal of soldering, use of exyace-
tylen welding, shrinking sheet
metal, fender repairing, prepair-
ing the car for refinishing, prim-
ing and surfacing, spraying the
lacquer, sanding, rubbing, re-
pair work, and matching colors.

win out over it you viii not
only open the door to a whole
new world Of summer comfort,
health and companionship,
but you also will have a sense
of self-respect which will add
new zest to your personality.
1t is amazing how one new, en-
thusiastic interest can light up
a woman's face and PERSONAL
ity, and what conquering even
one small fear can do for her.
I have seen this happen many
many times during my teach
ing experience.
You can begin now, without
ever going near the lake or
river or pool. to lose that fear.
You must simply learn breath
control. AS soon as you learn
that you can put your face
under water without getting
choked. you will have passed
the hardest part Of your swim
ming lesson.
Begin training yourself right
in your own bathroom. Fill the

bowl with water. take a deep
breath. close your mouth and
submerge your face in the
water. Raise your face and
breathe OUT as you do so.
Try this over and over agaia
until it seems easy and you do
not feel tense.
Next Step
The next step is to stand in
shallow water in a pool or
lake or river.
II you are in a pool YOU can
take hold of the side of the
pool and dunk your head over
and over again. just as you
did in the bathroom bowl. Next
you can see how long you can
stay under water. Then take
hold of someone's hands and
jump up and down in the wa
ter. Take a deep breath and
float along on top of the water
while someone pulls you along
by your hands. When you have
to come up for air. bend the
knees and place the feet on the
bottom.

WHY GROW oLD7
Conquer Fear
OF Swimming
BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN


Literally thousands of wom-
en- miss the pleasure of SWIM
ming because they are afraid
of the water. This is such a
shame because of the health
giving as well as the fun-giv-
ing value of this exercise. This
sport is a mild exercise which
places less strain on the body
because the weight is supported
by the water.
Swimming is often prescribed
when other sports are denied
a patient who has some organic
trouble. This is one sport which
doctors sometimes allow dur
ing pregnancy although, Of
course, this is an individual
matter and should be checked
with your physician.
