e art merit Frank Owens, Head Eugene Aimone V. S. Asbury C. M. Henley James Kendall Gilman Lane Industrial Arts is a study about industry, its materials, tools, machines, processes, products, and occupations. The more a stu¬ dent knows about the workings of Amer¬ ican industry, the more appreciation he has for American culture. The more he knows about materials and processes used by in¬ dustry, the better he understands the manufactured products, and the better he can exercise consumer judgment. Today we live in an environment in which indus¬ trial influences dominate the nature of the products we use or the kind of work that provides our livelihood. To those interested in Industrial Arts many courses are open, such as Industrial Arts I II, Advanced Metal, Machine Shop, Auto Shop, Advanced Woodwork¬ ing, Mechanical Drawing, Machine Draw¬ ing, Architectural Drawing, and Metal Arts. Metal Arts and Jewelry is a course open to both boys and girls. .3 raind in JecLnica l SLA Mechanics Petersen, Damiani, and Mondo oil up an engine
