echnolo n Man the engines and full steam ahead! This is a saying of action and our Tech Division is one of action. Every course is designed to give the student a chance to put his theoretical knowledge into practical application. The man at the helm of this division is Mr. Owens, who instructs in Build- ing Trades. The various building construction courses are designed to enable the apprentice to build permanent dwellings. The visual evidence of these courses are the neaily completed houses located in back of the Art Center. Another course which gives evidence of its being is the Petroleum Tech- nology Department. The reference is, of course, to the oil derrick, a scene of much class activity, directed by Mr. Guthrie. Mr. Rockey is the Metal Trades chief. In his courses the students learn the fundamentals of working metal into useful articles. This is an extremely practical course because of the extent to which our culture utilizes metal. Without this utilization there would be no engines to man. The Electronics Department acquaints the student with many phases of electrical development. These classes are responsible for the pick up your repaired radio notices, so often seen in the daily bulletin. Mr. McNeal leads his crew in this art. Mr. Barrett launches the students with the flexible Agriculture Department. This department acquaints the students with types of soil, varieties of crops, species of cattle, and conducts him through the various phases of each. Auto Mechanics is also included in Technology, for it is indeed an indus- trial art. This popular course is under the direction of Mr. Mole and is to enable the pupil to take his place in a highly mechanized world. Technology is an important art in an industrialized civilization — may there be smooth cruising ahead for those who participate in it! MR. OWENS MR. GUTHRIE MR. McNEAL MR. BARRETT MR. ROCKEY MR.

oLll? fUfi ¥ Encouraging a ship staffed by an educated group instead of the often-phrased motley crew , the Library Department under Officer Clarke provided the reading materials for assignments and pleasure. Checking the books catalogued, and cataloguing all the new records kept Mr. Clarke and his ever happy helper, Marj, busy throughout the year. New shelves were put in the ship ' s library and bound magazines were stacked on the older shelves. The loud speaker informed all deck hands and officers of coming and momentary events of the week. Many an ear was turned to find music coming from the clock. MR. CLARKE 4 MISS CHALOUPHKA
