IIItVIMMK Mil Training in nearly every mechanical field is offered to Davenport High School boys by the Industrial Arts Department to better prepare those going directly into outside work as well as to give others an idea of opportunities open in this field. For those specializing in training leading to industrial jobs after graduation, many different machine and woodworking courses are offer- ed. Machine Shop students begin with funda- mental shop work and machine principles and proceed to simulated on the job training. Woodworking students take a combined course of patternmaking, woodturning, and foundry, learning to turn wood on lathes as well as to make patterns and molds from regular mold- ing sand. Printing students are trained in printing tech- niques starting with elementary typesetting. Industrial Arts toachers examining a measuring device are Roland Krieb, Charles Gesell. Charles McCoy.

'Open wide, that's it. Now breathe deep, deeper ... You're right if you have guessed that these words refer to the Nurse's Office at Davenport High School. They are common during enroll- ment when each student is required to have a physical checkup by the school physician. The results, of the checkup are filed in the Nurse's Office. Before taking part in sports, each participant must have a physical checkup with Dr. Carl Matthey. This is not only for the student's wel- fare, but for the good of the team, as only the most capable persons may play. Nurse Imogene Sandway is on duty at all times, while the school's doctor. Dr. Matthey, is ready to lend a hand in case of more serious accidents. Dr. William Teegen, dentist, takes care of all student bridgework. Mrs. Imogene Sand- way. school nurse, uses one of her acoustical testing machines on Donna Rock. 19

To attain a general adeptness in all processes involved in the printed reproduction industry is the aim of the course. Anyone desiring to enter the theoretical rather than the practical side of manufacturing may gain his basic training in Mechanical Drawing and other elementary engineering courses that lead to proficiency in blueprint making. Graphic Arts provides an orientation course in the field of reproduction while Combustion Engines orients students in motor mechanics. Through these various courses in mechanical training, students may gain basic knowledge in any or all of the processes required by to- day's industrial concerns. Through the re- sources of one of the finest shops in this part of the country, the student is provided with an insight to most industrial methods. Industrial Arts teachers examining a slide projector are Forrest D. Sissol. Theodore E. Sturm. Joseph H. Carr, Albort F. Wiemann. and Thomas R. McCrorie. Making molds are members of Mr. Gesoll's Shop class. Mr. Anderson checks technique in the adjustment of a metalworking lathe. 21
