1 DR FTI GTHE BoYs ACQUIRE The Drafting department has three goals in mind, The first is to give a general education concerning the fundamentals of drafting. The second is to teach the language used in the art of drafting, and the third, to interest us Techites in entering a career of specialized drafting and designing. After we talce the basic course in mechanical drawing, we have the choice of two maior fieldsfarchitectural or machine drafting. We are well prepared to enter an engineering college if we apply ourselves, for our school offers many advanced courses. ln other words, first we study the theory of drafting, then we actually put our lcnowledge to worlc. Nearly everything that has to do with drafting, from simple-mechanical drawing to the designing of houses, we can learn here at Tech. LAWRENCE MASON and Gene Armstrong are making blue- prints, using the continuous blueprint machine. As Mr. Warren Cleveland, Drafting department head, watches, Gene feeds the machine, placing tracings on the sensitized paper, and Lawrence keeps the paper straight as it passes over the drying coils. SKILL FOR FUTURE PO ITIO DAVID NICE is working on a set of house plans of his own design in Archi- tectural Drafting lll, a four-period course, as Mr. Clarence Rosell watches him. 22
