ISELKSTW industrial Arts During the past nine years, over 900 students have passed through our Industrial Arts Department. All pupils of the 6th, 7th and 8th grades are required to take Industrial Arts, but it is optional above the 8th grade. Pupils in the 6th and 7th grades receive 90 minutes instruction per Week. Eighth grade pupils receive 180 min- utes per week. Eighth grade B pupils take Industrial Arts Woodworking and the 8th grade A pupils take Industrial Arts Electricity. Pupils above the 8th grade- spend 225 minutes per week in the shop. Free hand sketches and shop drawings are required of all students above the 6th grade. Many people think that Industrial Arts teaches the pupil a trade. Voca- tional schools are designed for such a purpose. Industrial Arts courses are set up to: 1. Provide opportunities for boys to make and do things they like to make and do. 2. Provide training in common skill everyone should possess. 3. Provide trade exploratory or try out experiences in typical trades to assist boys in finding and testing their interests and aptitudes. 4. Provide training in industrial arts and industrial art appreciation. 5. Provide a natural medium for guidance, educational and vocational. 6. Provide interesting technical information about the occupation or occupations represented in the school shop and others closely allied. 7. Provide studies in vocational economics closely related to everyday life. 8. Provide organized training in reasoning and problem solving. Alumni Again, as in past years, Warsaw High is ably represented in the institu- tins of higher learning. Cornell University, Ann Arbor, William and Mary College, and State Teachers Colleges are fortunate to have in their midst grad- uates of Warsaw High. From all these institutions we hear good reports about our graduates. Honorary fraternities and sororities have opened their doors to a few of them. Others have become willing workers in college activities. Some of last year's graduates returned to pursue a post graduate course. They became so accustomed to the dear old place they found it extremely dif- ficult to leave. Warsaw High School can indeed be congratulated on its up-to- the-minute post graduate courses and the interest they have aroused among the students. Warsaw High is proud of its graduates whether at college or here, and it wishes them the best of success. Page twenty-nine
