Government ar- senal, now provides a home for the Division of Publica- tions on the first floor and the district Social Service oflices on the second. The building is distinctive be- cause of its inlaid floors, Walnut staircases, decora- tive plaster friezes, and its grey marble fireplaces. Some of the future which Mr. Stuart envisioned has arrivedg it has fallen to Mr. Anderson to project this comprehensive high school even farther. So that the world may glimpse the workings of such a school, the staff of the 1949 ARSENAL CANNON June Magazine presents scenes from the main oflice, curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and the senior class of The School of Tomorrow.

The Arsenal Technical Schools is a comprehensive high school. But, just what is a comprehensive high school? Mr. Hanson H. Anderson, principal, answers this question. A comprehensive high school is one which gives full WM B vfaiv regard to meeting the varied needs, interests, and abilities of all youth who are entitled to its privileges. It follows, therefore, that the offerings of such a school must be of such breadth that they may serve best the needs of each individual, fitting him for normal participation in the social, industrial, civic, and family life of the community, as well as for advanced formal educational training. A plan for each individual's Iilldl-'llfdlllflf desires is the educational foundation of ATS! For the student interested in college-preparatory study, Tech provides a plang for the student who contemplates employment immediately following graduation, Tech provides a plan, for the student whose future demands he learn a vocational skill in high school, Tech provides a plan: for the student who is uncertain how to reach his future goal, Tech provides a plang for any student who desires to derive the fullest amount of benefit from a well-rounded, study- work-play high school life, Tech provides a plan! Technical High School's chief method of directing the student through its comprehensive organization is by a decentralized guidance and counseling plan, which utilizes every faculty member as a guidance counselor. Technical High School's Guidance Office, as the co-ordinating agent of the guidance program, strives to serve the individual and to plan experiences which will adequately prepare him to meet his onrushing future. Proudly displaying the '49 class colors on his lapel is Mr. Hanson H. Anderson, Tech's principal, easily recognized by each stu- M A I N 0 F F I C E dent on the campus by his black felt hat and his horn-rimmed glasses. 12
