Continuing on with the last subject before the test next week, the students started on the topic of jeweling. They learned how to press jewels into the mainplate and bridges using the Horia tool. Specific heights should be obtained from the pressing to arrive with the correct endshake for the wheels in the gear train.

| Happy St. Nicolas' Day! |
We celebrated St. Nicolas day yesterday where Svenja brought the boys holiday treats. Svenja also explained the story behind St. Nicolas to our wide range of international students.
Because the students won't be here for Christmas, the school decided to have an outing together tonight at the local bowling alley. We will post pictures of this later! Have a great weekend everyone! We're off to bowl!
