Lawrence Chard Bert Belluzzi Graphic Arts Auto Mechanics B.A., M.A. B.A., M.A. Different Shop Classes Developed Productive Skills Industrial arts classes tried to develop natural abilities in students. There were many different shops contained in the industrial arts program. General shop was a basic course which gave stu- dents a general background in all shops and en- abled them to choose among other specialized in- dustrial arts courses which they wished to take. Boys in general shop were introduced to printing, woodworking, electronics, and metal working. Boys in auto mechanics were allowed to work on their own cars as they learned more about how to repair different types of vehicles. Courses in drafting and graphic arts were of value to students who planned careers as engineers. Courses in electronics and auto mechanics were equally valuable to boys who planned to specialize in those fields.
