While the industrial arts program did not attempt to train the student for a specific vocation, it did provide him with exploratory vocational expe- riences. Designed to acquaint the student with tools, materials, and the products of industry, this course included units in mechanical drawing, woodworking, plastics, metalworking, electricity, and home mechanics.
