I have read many of the senior class histories of various high schools but none offers a parallel to our own. It is not because they are not well written, for in most cases they are, but because they lack new and interesting information. i The many interesting things which occurred in the four years of our schooling in the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades or, as we once called it, XVilliamsburg , are and always will be far superior to those of the senior classes in the past and future. ' We started our high school education in an old building which once served as an armory. It was located on Bushwick Avenue between Stagg and Ten Eyck Streets. Here the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades had its beginning. It was the commencement of a newand one of the most outstanding vocational high schools in the city. We had very little equipment to work with. Each and every one of us did all in his power to increase the number of automobiles and parts for our own experimental use, and for those who were to follow. When- ever we saw an abandoned car, we brought it in or had our teacher bring it. The Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades or Williamsburg Continuation, was progressing rapidlyg modern testing equipment and expensive tools were slowly but steadily coming into our possession. The new school is finally being completed. Students are eagerly awaiting its opening. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are waiting for September when they will enter it and start work with the best of testing equipment. -W 9 ,-
