The Arsenal Technical Schools, comprised of Technical High School and the vocational schools, has three basic curricular divisions: .Jz'11a'e111if, Teflzlziffzl, and Ifjfflffllllfll. For those students preparing for college, Tech's academic curriculum offers studies expressly intended to meet the most rigid 'Elkay prerequisites of any university. Its English, mathematics, language, history, and science foundations are strong, throughout Techls history, each year, these and many other departments have repeatedly won state and national awards. For those who contemplate high school graduation, but who are uncertain of a college career, a combination program of academic studies plus technical information and skills is offered. journalism, child-care, millinery, office practice, R.O.T.C., stagecraft, music directing, aeronautics, drafting, and numerous industrial courses are a fevv of the Work fields available in this division. Vocational courses make up the third grouping. Every Techite is presented with the opportunity to gain comprehensive training in the automotive, building, electrical, metal, avia- tion mechanics, and printing trades. Upon completion of the required credits in these specialized courses, plus academic requirements, the student is awarded a Vocational Certificate. The three-division plan of the Arsenal Technical Schools is effective in meeting the individuals needs and desires. liach Techite has a three-way study option: to take only college preparatory courses, to combine a technical curriculum with a college preparatory program, or to combine vocational studies with required academic ohferings. Selecting a book from the shelf of the library is a common de- nominator of all courses, Bar- C U R R I C U L U M bara Lazzell discovers, whether the subject is an academic, tech- nical, or vocational course. 18
