Do you have that practical technical know-how'-J Surmount the barrier, learn another language From the variety of activities in the INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT-the quiet concentration of the drafting students, the operation of the noisy and cumbersome machines in woodshop and ma- chine shop, the thump of hammers and mallets in metal shop and auto shop-there is no doubt that these students are busily engaged in those activi- ties which will bring a realization of their hopes in a mechanical world. The students in the picture to the right are ln- dustrial Arts students studying electronics, which as the name implies is the study of the behavior ARTS ll ft c M C Healton', Mr. F. Alexander, Mr. M. Kreinbring, Mr. G. Oeltman, Mr. K. Wilson. and effects of electrons in vacuum tubes, photoelec- tric cells, and the like. Whether the Industrial Arts student plans to master a skill in preparation for a iob immediately following graduation or to pursue his studies in the field of engineering, electronics, or architectur- al drawing, the AHS Industrial Arts Department is prepared to see that these hopes are not thwarted. lt is equipped to see a student through a partial apprenticeship, aid him in developing a hobby, or give him the feeling of knowing first hand what the future in this field of endeavor holds for him. LANGUAGE lleft to rightl Miss L. Murphy', Mr. A. Ch Mr. K. Lenser, Mr. A. Martin, Mr. S. Moyse, Mr. M. Students in our LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT are aware that mankind must forge ahead. Our world is shrinking with the increased ease and speed of transportation, bringing distant peoples to our doorstep. But, with the heedlessness for which Americans are becoming notorious, we have failed to consider what we are doing. We may bring many peoples to our doorstep, but once we get them here, we cannot communicate with them, thus wasting our most exciting opportunity for friendship and mutual improvement. At last America has come to realize that speak- ing a foreign language should not be an ability that belongs to only the most intelligent. Foreign language is a tool that must be used to remove 20 barriers. Our fine language department is con- stantly striving to instill a modern day gift of tongues in the AHS student by stressing conver- sational German, Spanish, and French. A language student may be distinguished by the glazed quality of his eyes as he runs into pil- lars, muttering, Amo, amas, amat. And pity the poor student who is taking two languages. He cer- tainly can't be blamed for attaching German verb endings to a Spanish stem. After the final is over, the bleary-eyed student will have to admit that the knowledge of a language is worth the loss of sleep, weight, and sanity. And who knows? The future of the world may depend on a former AHS student's Bon Jour at the right time.
