I QQ QWQGQ QQQ QQ 'sag Metal Shops offer students a vast array of courses in elementary and advanced machine shop practice and sheet metal work. These courses assist the young men of today in attaining their desired vocations of tomorrow. Facilities Mold Uncountable Futures When our Arsenal closed its doors as a storehouse for munitions, it began serving its country again in another Way by furthering the education of young men and Women. A trade school, the Winona Technical ln- stitute, was established on November 8, 1904 but was forced to close in 1909 when it could no longer meet expenses. Later on May 22, 1915, the Supreme Court authorized this 76.14 acres to be held forever in trust for the sole purpose of maintaining an arts and trade school. To this day Tech is still expanding and advan- cing in these traditionally offered trade and vocational courses. At the present, through general, vocational and technical shop courses, individuals receive practical ex- perience in numerous difficult technical fields. Train- ing begins With the general shop course designed to introduce the student to shop work, initiate him to the uses and handling of materials and prepare him for higher fields of vocational Work. Cffering only carpen- try, printing and pattern making in its earlier days, the vocational department curriculum has continually ex- panded, training young men to meet the ever-increasing demand for experienced technicians and tradesmen. Printing, providing practical training in the skills necessary, teaches pupils various printing operations and introduces production methods. 23

' A V i., ' School life at Arsenal Technical is not, of course, always in tune with the quote Keep your nose to the grindstonef' Although students are sincerely involved in their studies there are endless additional means by which they display their loyalty, esteem, pride and dedication. These little extra activities of 'Technical pupils offer a pleasing break in the rigorous study schedule of the day. The popular lunch period is en- joyed by Techites in numerous ways. Most refuel on calories in our two huge accommodating lunchroomsp Daily Schedules some catch up on helpful last minute studying or cram in the library for a next period testg while a few just stroll leisurely about the campus enjoying the beauty of nature when weather permits. Some make a quick trip to Tech's convenient bookstore to replenish a de- pleted theme tablet cr spiral notebookg others buys pen- cils, books, Titan sweat shirts, or just look. But all students being teenagers thrill at a chance to let off bottled up steam by shouting team loyalty to the top of the gym rafters at the student pep sessions held through the year. Such spirited rallies are nothing like real games where avid rooters gather to back their newly-named Titans whole-heartedly. Vocal exuber- ance mellows, though, whenever Techites don their elegant Cinderella or Prince Charming tinery for a sparkling evening at a school dance. These simplee sometimes prominent-events seem to enhance our student life at Tech and will be assured a lasting per- manence in many a heart. Numerous theatrical lovers were attracted by the industrious Thes- pians, who displayed their talents in a production of Angel Street. Resonant voices raise the roof with shouts of utmost zealotry and encouragement, supporting the Tech Titans in all athletic competition. 25
