One of the best developed and well-rounded courses in indiana High Schol is offered by the lndustrial Arts and Vocational Shop Depart- ment. The development of manual skill is an ever increasing necessity in earning a living in the world of today, since only a minor number of high school students go on to higher educa- tional levels after graduation. The administration of lndiana High School realizes this need and has given particular attention to the development of practical courses that will be of great value to students. ' A machine shop, which is located in the Horace Mann School, is equipped with the most up-to-date industrial machines. Here, students receive experience that will be required in ob- taining a position. ln the High School build- ing, a woodcraft shop provides the pupils with the opportunity of making various useful ar- ticles. Also instruction is given in soldering and welding. The equipment which is provided for the lndustrial Arts Program is the most modern. The pupils enrolled in these courses are under the supervision of expert teachers and learn the fundamentals of drafting, blueprint reading, and many other industrial activities. The students graduating from this Department are not considered skilled tradesmenp however, the practical knowledge acquired in the use of the various tools and machines will greatly aid them in the future. .

Foreign Language is Required for College Latin, French, and Spanish are the three foreign languages offered to the students of Indiana High School. All students desiring to do so may take any of the foreign languages, but two years of one language is required in the General College course. The aim of the Lan- guage Department is to provide for the students a suitable background, Which will be conducive to a better understanding of the formation and make up of the language. Although the two- A class in second-year Latin. year language courses do not enable us to be- come accomplished linguists, they do aid us, as educated individuals, to broaden our interests and better understand other nationalities. ln this rapidly changing World a better under- standing of our World neighbors is a necessity, and through instruction about their languages, history, and customs, we gain this better under- standing.
