They are the technical, voca- tional and industrial arts departments. In 12 shops on the ground floor are some of the most modern shops in the state. In the industrial arts department are auto, elec- tric, machine, printing, photography, and metal shops besides mechanical drawing 1, 2 and 4. The only vocational shops are advanced automobile and advanced machine shop. To gain admission to these classes a pupil must have taken industrial arts, auto or machine shop. Technical courses in electric theory and machine shop are also taught. While some shops make students proj- ects, others, such as the vocational and tech- nical shops do actual work on real cars and in machine work. To teach vocational or technical work a teacher must have had several years in that field of work. As a result North has only the best of teachers in its shops.

Research-Theory and Applied North's scientifically minded students are greatly indebted to the group of teachers in the science department for interesting them in such a wide and varied field as science offers. To some, the odors issuing from the Chemistry laboratory at frequent inter- vals are a disagreeable nuisance. To those who are experimenting they mean success or failure. Chemistry is concerned with the changes that take place forming new substances through chemical reactions. However, the science department is not all concerned with chemistry. Another very interesting part is the study of physical geography. This is a science which treats of the natural features of the earth and their relation to life. It aims to show man his relation to and dependence upon the phenomena of nature. Still a third division of the science de- partment is that of physics.
