The industrial arts department aids in developing student skill and manipu- lative ability in using tools and machines. Mechanical drafting, machine drafting, architectural drafting, electricity, radio and electronics, machine shop, metalwork, motor mechanics, printing, and woodworking provide the material means of reaching the goals of the Industrial Arts department.
