COMMENCEMENT ANNUAL

Blacksmithing Department

In this technical department, several of the boys taking the course have shown increased interest and
increased efficiency. In addition to the number of smaller blacksmith articles used there has been consider-
zble repair work done to farm equipment. One item stands out prominently for skilled workmanship—a
fancy ironwork stand.

Most of those who are going through the Blacksmithing department find their experience helpful
when they are received into the Auto Mechanics class. The pupils seem to have a natural adaptability to
the forge and working in iron.

Moses Leeson, Anthony Calder and Sandy Angus are very apt pupils and rank in the above order.

Shoe Repairing
G. ForDDRED

The intricacies of shoe making may be exciting but the steady repair work is rather monotonous.
However, Moses Leeson deserves great credit for his faithful and skilful workmanship during the year.
Peter Martin and Allan Prevost are finding interest in this vocation.

Boiler Room

G. ForppRED

The Boiler Room work has little variation from year to year only in the change of assistants. It is
rather a privilege to be assigned to this important post, to study the first laws of steam heating, general
electric work and plumbing. Willie Hall deserves special mention while Harvey Sepass and Peter Martin
have also taken a keen interest.

Garment Department

Miss F. ADAMS

In the garment department this term the girls have had a wide experience in the making of twenty-
eight distinctly different garments and articles, each girl being given instruction and practice in garment
construction from cutting to finishing. Altogether 1,500 garments have been made since October 15, in-
cluding 122 boys’ shirts and 137 girls’ dresses, these being made from material provided by the school.
Our banner month this term was May, during which 348 garments and household articles were made.

Costumes were made for the girls taking part in the Operetta given during the Christmas holidays,
also masquerade costumes for the New Year’s Eve party.

Each member of the girls’ Graduation Class is responsible for the making of her own graduation
clothes under the supervision of the teacher.

The garment construction and fancy work for the Coqualeetza exhibit at the Vancouver Exhibition
is also done in this Department. In December a sale of the work entered in the 1930 exhibit was held,
realizing the sum of $25.00 which has been used to buy new material in preparation for the 1931
exhibit. A sewing class has been in organization since the first of the year for this purpose, both Junior
and Senior girls taking a very active part.

All of the twenty-five girls passing through this Department during the term have taken a keen
and active interest in the work done, and have given thorough and cheerful service under all circum-
stances. Those deserving of special mention are: Mabel Martin for punctuality and thoroughness; Agnes
Roberts, Stella Cooper and Alice Percival for good work; Amelia MacMillan as first-class shirtmaker and
Charlotte Prevost for steady application and advancement.

Culinary Department

VIOLET BAILEY
Morto: The Hungry Must Be Fed

We have come to the end of another very busy year in this Department. Though it takes a lot of time
preparing the vegetables, fruits, pies and cakes for so many, it has all been done cheerfully. Besides the
daily routine there is fruit canning, and marmalades, jam, jellies and pickles to be made.

Girls worthy of special mention for good work, faithfully and cheerfully done, are Kate Morgan,
Mabel Martin, Annie Amos and Jennie Peters.

Many showed marked improvement, among them Susan Charlie, Flora Thomas, Evelyn Haldane and
Hazel James.
