After a student had completed necessary wood and metalshop courses, he might enroll in one or more oi the shop majors, such as welding or electricity, so that after completing these courses, he might enter industry as a semiskilled Workman, or use these mechanical skills to advantage in home repair Work or in the armed services.

With knowledge and tools of the trade, members of the DRAWING DEPART- MENT have for many years contributed to the number of skilled draftsmen and architects in the society of today. Modern houses and complex machines have flowed from the pencils of the advanced students. Beginning students have learned not only the basic techniques of mechanical drawing, but also the ideals of neatness and accuracy. Realizing the need for more young men and women in the scientific fields, the members of the SCIENCE DEPARTMENT used their skills and knowledge to teach students the fundamentals needed by future scientists. Not only did they bring out the applications of science as related to daily living, but through their classes in biology, chemistry and physics, they helped many students find interesting and useful careers.

Students also gained a useful knowledge of the histories and customs of foreign peoples. This year there was a choice of four languages in several different levels. These included three years of Spanish, three years of French, two years of German, and two years of Latin. A Variety of courses was offered by the MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT. For business majors there was Business Arithmetic llB-llA. Students not prepared for algebra could take general mathematics. Algebra and plane geometry were offered for college preparatory majors. Those having a major in mathematics, engineering, or science were offered a complete course consisting of two and one half years of algebra, one year of plane and solid geometry, and a semester of trigonometry. This course gave complete preparation for any higher mathe- matics they might encounter. extend ROW I, left to right: Emma R. Sandrini, A.B.1 Lucite Burk, A.B., Dept.
