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.
