Exponents of the Motor Age and near neighbors to the Motor City, Birmingham boys are sold on the course in auto me- chanics. With the new modern shop, facilities are the best obtainable, and boys are able to work on cars, motors, and other equipment. Not much mysti- fied by the intricate-looking mechanism are Gordon Sweeney, Sim Thoms, Tom Kaiser, Paul Ayers, Carl Bartelson, Louis Garner and Gary Ginther. Crowded to capacity are the mechanical drawing classes. Most of the students are those interested in architecture and en- gineering. Occasionally a few girls en- roll. Engrossed in their work are Bob Lowell, Bob Mange, John Boise, Roger Hood, Bob Selvidge, and Tom Rickelman. Working with crystal stencils, heavy duplicator paper, and other superior sup- plies bought at the Birmingham Office Supply Company gives excellent training for good jobs, and the office machines course teaches the girls skills, speed, and efficiency, Working in the office ma- chines room are Violet Macdonald, Mar- garet Carter, fviarion Finney, Pat Halpin and Elizabeth Carter.
