December 19, 1951 High Life Page Three Three'Hour Classes in Machine Shop Revealed One of the most interesting sub jects taught at Greensboro Senior High, and perhaps one of the lesser known, is the machine shop class under the able instruction of Mr. Moore. There are two three-hour classes, one from 9:00 to 12:00 and the other from 12:30 to 3:30. These two classes have a total membership of twenty-one boys who are acquir ing daily a working, practical knowledge that can be applied in their future lives as mechanics. Two credits per semester are grant ed for each three-hour class. Upon entering the machine shop, which is located on the first floor of the vocational building, your first impression is of whirring, clacking machines being run by industrious- looking boys. Most likely you will find Mr. Moore among the boys, giving them instructions or aiding them in making threads on a steel cylinder with en engine lathe. If he is not to be found there, he is in his office, a little room separated from the machine shop by a wire wall. The walls of his office are covered with numerous tools such as clamps, hammers, gears, metal saws, drills, and glasses which are worn as protection for the eyes. One of the most interesting tools, as well as one of the most valuable, is called a micrometer. The microm eter is a very accurate measuring device which can measure a metal cylinder down to the nth degree. The instrument is divided into deci mals. “Many of the boys,” states Mr. Moore, “come to me with a sketchy knowledge of decimals.” Since all the measuring is done in the decimal dimension, a thorough understanding of the decimal sys tem is absolutely necessary. In many cases, Mr. Moore has to re view the very fundamentals of mathematics to the boys who do not have a firm foundation on which to proceed to decimals. The boys devote their time to working steel, iron, brass, and other metals. They have excellent ma- cinery such as engine lathes, bench lathes, milling machines, hack-saws, and drill presses. These machines are all in good condition and do hot require overhauling. With this machinery the boys take plain pieces of steel and make metal ob jects such as gears and threads. They make designs on the metal in order to learn how to control the machinery. For instance, when drilling holes in a steel block, it is essential to hold the location ac curately so that the holes will be uniform in size and spaced as the right distances. Perhaps you wonder where the metal with which to work comes Eubanks Laundromat Shop While You Wash at Summit Shopping Center Phone 4-4709 920 East Bessemer Ave. COLA Best by taste-test Greensboro Nehi Bottling Co. from and where the finished parts go. The machine shop received, several years ago, a five-thousand pound shipment of metal pieces which has been supplemented at Mr. Moore is pictured above in structing a student in one of his machine shop classes. various times by small quantities. With the aid of the expensive, first- class machinery which is used in the machine shop, Mr. Moore and his boys have produced some very fine and accurate parts. These parts are displayed at various times throughout the year, at night or in the daytime. Mr. Ben L. Smith, Superintendent of the Greensboro Public Schools, has kept a display in his office of some of the parts turned out by our machine shop for some time and is very proud of their superior workmanship. The machine shop co-operates closely with Mr. Darnell’s mechani cal drawing class and the other vo cational classes. Occasionally they ask Mr. Darnell’s class to make a blueprint for them. Mr. Moore does not find jobs for his boys but does recommend them individually when called by a potential employer. The boys find shop an interesting, profitable class. Most of them make vises to keep as a souvenir. Mr. Moore has a shop of his own at home where he puts his skill to use. MILLER FURNITURE COMPANY, Inc.

ANDERSON, Sr., President Greensboro, N. C. By Catherine McLean Christmas vacation is really going to be a blessed relief to all of us GHS-ers. This school life is begin ning to be a real bore to most of us (especially the^ seniors). Collecting ads, writing autobiographies and term papers, gets us down in spirits as well as grades. For a lot of us, though, getting out of school means going to work. As usual, I have been shopping at Ellis-Stone. I have found quite a few items that would make your friends happy to receive for Christmas. Boys, for the girl in your life the Prince Matchabelli cologne and dusting powder sets will make hers a perfect Christmas season. They are priced at $2.50 plus tax. For a less expensive gift. Prince Matchabelli has a set of two “cologne carols.” This prize package con tains two little bottles of cologne. This set is priced as low as $1.00 plus tax. A more expensive set by Prince Matchabelli contains the Stradivari dusting powder and cologne. This costs $3.95 plus tax. Any female member of your family would be pleased with any of the above items. Faberge has now a “Quartet Junior” set of four different scents of the finest cologne. This is priced at $3.00 plus tax. On the first floor of Ellis-Stone I spotted some music boxes. They are all different sizes and colors. These unique music boxes have all different tunes. Some are “Because,” “Till the End of Time,” “Always,” “Silent Night,” “I Love You Truly,” “Ballerina,” “Happy Birthday,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” and “Stardust.” This Christmas will be crowded with many parties for the girls. If you are in a stew about a new dressy dress or dressy separates, l“have solved your problem. Ellis-Stone Sportswear Department has some very beautiful velveteen separates for you. For $8.95-$10.95 the Sports wear Department has black, navy, and bright blue velveteen camisoles, halters, and bodice tops. You can find most any style especially suited just for you. They are perfect to use with velveteen skirts, also shown in the Sportswear Department. These nationally known brand shirts are priced at $10.95-$14.95. The skirts and tops can always be used with other skirts and blouses. There are numerous gift items in the Men’s Department of Ellis- Stone. Maybe some of you girls should take note of some of these. They may be just what you are looking for to give your steady. A nice Christmas gift would be a leather shaving kit with water-proof lining. It has a full zipper closure. The unfitted type is $6.50. The fitted is $9.90. Any boy would love to have cuff links by Swank or Kremeutz. They have gold or silver finish, or stone setting novelties, plain, and to-be- engraved styles. They are priced at $1.95 to $7.50 (plus Federal tax). Argyle sox by Sarfert, Interwoven, and Fortsmann also make nice Christmas gifts. These sox are a necessity in every man’s wardrobe. The cotton is $1.00, wool $2.95, and cashmere $5.50. For the boys who smoke, a Parker Flaminaire cigarette lighter would be nice for him. This lighter has six months of lights, butaine gas, and chrome finish; priced at $12.50. Don’t you be a late Christmas shopper. Come on down to Ellis-Stone now. Ellis-Stone, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (Adv.)
