X A X Arsenal Technical Schools is the School of Tomor- row, TooAY! A school with every phase of a well-rounded learning-to-live education . . . the kind of an education which encompasses yesterday, today, and tomorrow! With a past of which to be proud, a future endowed with success, and a pace- setting present, it comprises one of America's few truly comprehensive high schools. On Tech's seventy-six acres of wooded campus are thirteen buildings, housing a school which offers two hundred eighty-three courses ranging from the classics of art and literature to the skills of a modern aircraft shop. To teach these varied curricula are two hundred forty top-notch faculty members. In addition to the broad course of studies is an equally diverse extra-curricular realm. Whether it be cheer-leading or presiding over the senior classy taking part in sports or acting, singing, or dancing in the Sketchbook , playing in the dance band or publishing the weekly news-magazine: broadcasting from Tech's own radio studios or joining a departmental club, each of the four thousand learning-by-doing pupils can Hnd just what he or she wants to do with after-class time. It all began on September 11, 1912, when Milo H. Stuart, founder of the Arsenal Tech- nical Schools, with a teaching staff of eight and a student body of 183 boys and girls arrived to lay the foundation of a comprehensive high school! Prior to that first day of school, Mr. Stuart, who was then principal of Emmerich Man- ual Training High School, had been asked to inspect the buildings on the thickly wooded acreage out on East Michigan Street. Manual and Shortridge high schools were too crowded, relief was needed. Mr. Stuart realized these grounds would be ideal for the progressive type of school he envisioned. Z
