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.

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.

MR. GEORGE E, PHILLIPS Vocational Agricultureg Gen- eral Shop. Pennsylvania State University: B.S. Bucknell Uni- versity. Advisor, Future Farm- ers of America. A knowledge of grass helps our crops to cultivate properly. Credit for Central Dauphin's football field, taking care of Randy, overhauling school and private tractors, the welding jobs, the greenhouse, and analyzing the school lawns, then improving them by proper management through fertilizing lim- ing, and care are just a few of the things the Ag boys take credit for. A typical day under the able instruction of Mr. Phillips shows students learning the operation, maintenance, and care of a self-propelled combine. Vocational drafting is a course which teaches drawing as a graphic language, whereby engineers, designers, and drafts- men can express and record their ideas and information necessary for the building of machines and structures. The course teaches the student how to letter, how to picture any object so it is understandable to others, how to lay out clearances and moving ports, and how to select and use materials and fastenings. This course should prepare an earnest student for a job in the drafting profession by the time he is graduated. 4 Psa., Vocational drafting helps the student to express his ideas in picture form. 98 MR.
