Boys Learn Skills In New Shop Course This year Cardigan has added another program to its schedu1e. This program is called wood shop and is instructed by Mr. Nyhus. Here boys learn how to work with wood and tools. Every boy particii:,ating makes at least one project. Some of these projects already underway are bookshelves, s,p,oon racks, and treasure chests . For the sixth and seventh graders, this p•r ogram, which is held two p,eriods a week, is compulsory. The eighth gn:de boys have their choice of taking shop or going to a sup ervised study hall. The ninth graders do not hwe a chance to pariticipate in this p r og:·a m because they need the time .for study. They, however, may go to the sh : p on free afternoo ns as well as · any 0 '.her boys who would lil~e to go. So far, no plans for expansion have been announced but, up to now, this pro grau has been a great success and we all hope that it will remain at Cardigan in the years to come. Fran Mayo, '65
