FLOYD SHEETZ Auto Mechanics. Pennsyl- vania State University Ex- tension. This year at Central Dauphin there are two auto shops: one in the main shop area, and another in the bus terminal, op- posite the parking lot. In their sophomore year, the boys learn the importance of a well-done job, and become familiar with the tools and general equipment of the shop. The juniors gain a knowledge of the automobile, learn loyalty to the trade and employer, and are encouraged to develop an ability to meet the people and sell service intelligently. Seniors in auto me- chanics develop ability in leadership, and are able to diagnose the trouble in automobiles. Mechanical Drawing is a primary course in drafting. The students learn the basics of scale drawing by practicing the easier methods of a complicated and tedious course. MR. RALPH D. PORTER Industrial Arts, Building Maintenance.

The curriculum is designed to suit every student's need. Among the varied programs of Central Dauphin is included that of Special Education in which there are several chil dren whose needs differ from the average, and require additional help. Under the guidance of Mr. Ludwig Yakimoff, they learn to be more self-sufficient, develop good reading habits and acquire knowledge which will adapt them to every- day life. There are several projects which these students work on during the school year. Through these they hope to attain free- dom of social relationships, respect for labor, physical well being, constructive habits, responsibility to their nation and government, and the art of being able and co-operative citizens of their country. The Driver Education program is divided into two parts: Classroom theory and behind-the-wheel training. All juniors are required to take this course. The object of the classroom education is to teach attitudes and habits that cannot be learned in an automobile. In other words, it teaches the motor code. The purpose for practice driving is to provide learning experience for the student as an observer and student driver in the automobile. Here, students are taught driving skills systematically in the two new cars, that have been furnished. 95

MR. CLYDE M. TAYLOR, JR. Carpentry, Cabinetmaking. Bloomsburg State Teachers College, Pennsylvania State University. Boys in the carpentry shop work on their part of our vocational house. The Carpentry shop is very well-equipped with tools and machinery to make this year's vocational department project, a nodcrn, new home at 404 Trudy Road, Colonial Park, a big success. They are very well instructed and have been work- ng very hard all year. The training and mastering of skills is very advantageous to the carpentry student. After grad- lation, excellent job positions are readily available to the boys. The Trowel Trades, a vocational course, covers six areas: bricklaying, cement finishing, tiling, plastering, stone setting, md block laying. In their sophomore year, the boys do labor work, which consists' of brickhandlers, mortar mixers, and general observing of the work. Juniors and seniors do the actual laying of brick, block, and masonry work. However, the Joys do not only learn through experience. They also use textbooks during a theory class, which is usually 2012, of the imc. This year, the boys are continuing their work on the vocational house. Some of the installations they have made and vill make are: fireplaces, tile bathrooms, concrete floors, sidewalks, driveways and plastering. l MR. KENNETH B. GREENFIELD Trowel Trades.
