The Carpentry department is divided into two sections. One is the theory and the practical work done in the school, during the Freshmen and Sopho- more years. During these first two years the students learn the theory of the trade and how to handle their tools under the direction of Mr. Thomas Dardis. The other section is the Junior and Senior section. These upper classmen having learned the theory of their trade and the handling of the tools put all these into practice outside of the school. For during these last two years the students build houses and other odd jobs for the people in the Danbury area, under the direction of Mr. Walter Went. All these years of the different train- ing has one main purpose, which is to help the Senior as he leaves Henry Abbott Tech. a fit carpenter for industry. So that he can make a success of his life in this field and also to be a credit to his parents, teacher, and his school. CARPENTRY DEPARTMENT 3. lc 5 e MR. THOMAS DARDIS MR. WALTER WENT N. X.
