Dangling The drafting class was formed the year the school opened its doors and the first students were graduated in 1915. The present instructor is Mr. Myron Papenguth. The drafting department is organized in a manner similar to the drafting departments in various shops in industry. All work is outlined in a course of study which lists the various jobs. T Drafting is described as the universal language of industry. This langu- age of lines is recorded and expressed by ideas from which come information needed to build machines and buildings. Blueprints are used also for marine drafting and aeronautical drafting and by the baker industry. A thorough knowledge of blueprint reading is necessary for contractors and electricians as well as machinists and pattern makers. Inspectors and foremen use their knowledge of blueprint reading on their iobs. The standard and special tools boys use in school are as modern and up-to-date as those used by the men in any well-organized drafting department in industry. Special iobs are brought into the drafting department and are done by the boys who have developed a better-than-average knowledge of drafting. The practices taught in the drafting department are intended to help a boy who is willing, to learn the particular trade and earn himself a place in industryy therefore, the skills and habits which he develops during his two years in school prepare him for college and become useful in his future fob.
