Why I Enrolled in Aeronautics I enrolled in the Aeronautics Curriculum at Cass Technical High School not because of any newly-acquired interest, but rather because of something that happened quite a while ago. When I was eight years old, I bought a model airplane. From that time on, I have been very interested in both airplane model building and in production aircraft. My interest has been encouraged by my father and by my uncles, all of whom are getting or have received their private pilots license. While attending Tappan Intermediate, I was faced with the problem of choosing a high school which offered Aeronautics. Cass Technical High School was one of them, and after looking into what each school offered, such as, supplementary subiects, and the competitive sports program, I felt that Cass had the most to offer. Finally, the excellent recommendations about Cass, given by my Tappan Intermediate School teachers, convinced me to enroll at Cass. I have found that Cass has lived up to my expectations during the two-and-a-half years I have studied here. I Selected Refrigeration ond Air Conditioning Being mechanically inclined, I wanted a mechanical or technical education. I had enjoyed general science in intermediate school, and was interested in the physical principles explained therein. I was lucky enough to understand and enioy math and algebra. I wanted to use these to the best advantage in high school. Also I wanted to learn about something that is not under- stood by the average person. After investigating courses in Cass and other schools, I decided I would be getting something extra by taking air-conditioning and refrigeration, mechanical experience plus a theoretical understanding of an interesting subiect. Air-conditioning is fairly new and the field is growing by leaps and bounds. It is an open field for an ambitious person to use. My curriculum, air-conditioning and refrigeration, has lived up to my expectations of it. With the understanding and experience I have obtained in all phases of air-conditioning, refrigeration, and related subjects, I know I can get a iob in sales engineering, installation, service, design, or any other phase of air-conditioning and refrigeration with very little specialized follow-up education. In short, no matter what type of work I choose in this field, I will rely heavily upon my education at Cass. OJQAMQ if 21

Hall Guard Scott, Asa Cleveland Int. R. O. T. C. Officers' Club Auto Aero Club lSec Stud ent Council Hall Guard Shop Assistant Vlad, Alex All SaintS When I first came to Cass, I started in a curriculum other than the Automotive. It was not very long after my first semester at Cass had begun, that I began hearing endless praise of the Auto Department from my best buddy. He told me all about the classes available, the equipment, and what really great guys the teachers are. Along with this knowledge and what very little I knew of engines, my interest in Automobiles really grew quicklya With this growing interest came the welcome idea of changing over to the the Automotive Curriculum. I thought for a long period of time and looked over the advantages the department had to offer. After learning that a com- paratively large percentage of the engineers in industry graduated from the Auto Department at Cass, it was easy to decide that it was the Auto Department for me. I am now the proudest student in the Cass Technical High School---proud to be a member of the Automotive Departmen t. f nf, 20
