W. T. MippLeton (Junior Class)

A Junior Class in Manual Training has been conducted on Saturday mornings weekly since October, 1929. Attendance has been quite regular with an average of twenty-two. The register shows about twenty-five names throughout the terni, some boys having been promoted to the Senior Class and others received about the middle of the term. The boys have taken a deep interest with but few exceptions and their work is of very good quality considering that they were all beginners last fall. A number of them have proved to have a decided aptitude for wood-work and not a little originality in design. On being given the choice of projects several chose to make aeroplane and motor, boat models; and the result of their efforts has been quite satisfactory, a good deal of ingenuity being displayed. The boys’ conduct throughout has been very good. Moses Leeson, Frank Calder, Allan Prevost, George Auckland and Chester Bolton, are commended for faithful application to work. The last named is monitor of

the class and has shown exemplary deportment.

The Auto-mechanicy’ Class. Mr. F. Edwards, Instructor (Seated in centre)

AUTO-MECHANICS Mr. F. Epwarps Two Hours Weekly.

This class, in the science of Auto-mechanics, has been newly started this year. The boys seem to have a distinct. mechanical aptitude and their marked keenness has resulted in satisfactory progress being made. During the year Mr. Excell gave a lecture on the history of the Automobile, “From Hard to Balloon Tires,” which we all enjoyed. At the end he offered a prize of two technical books to the boy who made the most satisfactory progress in Auto-mechanics during the year. The instructor also offered a prize, to be awarded to the boy with the best-written note book and highest marks in the final examinations. The boys made good use of their opportunity, making the allotment of the prizes a difficult task. However, when the exams were written the results showed: Robert Hughes, 298; Cyril Mahone, 280; Moses Leeson, 276; out of a possible 325.

The boys are very keen, and have made such progress that nearly every one is so far advanced as to be able to take the second year’s work. The instructor is earnestly hopeful that additional equipment may be installed without delay, so that the second year’s course may be proceeded with to the best advantage at the beginning of the new term.
