Mr. John W. Allen Music; Band; Stage Band “I didn’t compose THAT one!” Music Mr. Howard A. Nettleton Director of Music; Singing Debs; Glee Club Mr. Dominic J.

I • TT-wyiT » ♦ ■ I In the Machine and Metal Fabrication Shops a workman is judged by the way he selects and uses the tools of his trade. For this reason it is important that a student know how to select and use properly both the hand and machine tools that are commonly used in the trade. This is the first step on the road toward becoming a successful tradesman.
