A variety of subjects is offered to introduce boys to the mechanic skills and to give them a solid background in these skills. Industrial Arts and lVlechanical Drawing are offered in the freshman year. In Industrial Arts, boys learn to use Various tools, such as the lathe and the circular saw, later applying this knowledge to wood and metal crafts. Mechanical Arts prepares students for such fields as architecture or engineering. Sophomores may expand their knowledge by tak- ing further courses in these subjects. Work becomes more advanced, as is also true of the junior and senior years. A course combining Power Mechanics and Elec- tricity is also offered to students. In Power Mech- anics, students learn the whys and wherefores of engines, eventually progressing to the overhauling of a car. After students master the fundamental concepts of Electricity. they work with radios and television tubes. After four years a student hopefully attains a thorough knowledge of the basic principles of the industrial arts.
