Students in Mr. Donald Short's building and con–
struction classes kept the wood shop in almost con–
tinuous use building scenery for
Oklahoma!,
putting
finishing touches on the outdoor concession stand, and
constructing a garage for a Fair Street owner.
Members of the general wood shot class, a full
year course, built individual projects o their choice.
The remainder of Mr. Short's 115 students were en–
rolled in mechanical drawing I and II and general
woodworking, each a half year course.
In addition to courses in general metal and
machine shop, auto mechanics, and electricity, Mr.
Richard Hobbie taught girls the fundamentals of
mechanics.
Girls taking home mechanics became familiar
with home machines and learned to solder, wire, and
repair common household appliances. They used
machines in the metal shop to make decorative wall
plaques, lamps, and wrought iron furniture.
Auto mechanics students took ap::ut and put to–
gether four automobile engines available in the shop.
Topics covered in the electricity course included
fundamental laws of electricity, model motors, wiring,
and practical household electricity.
