Ada 19 cavlemic Our academic classcs. XVc had our growing pains, of coursc. It's difficult to say which hurts thc most-thc pulling away from what is hoincly and familiar, or thc finding a way through a tracklcss maturity whore thc things onc sccks to grasp ncycr sccni to hold still for ycry long.

if ecflfica M k Vw .gnaiaf aim, 'M it On this page we are going to tell you about the Electrical Course. Here, we learn to work with something that can't be seen, heard, or even really felt if used and treated respect- fully. We know that it exists, for we study and have learned how to use it. We have sometimes accidentally mishandled it, and have learned even from our mistakes. Yet we still can't tell you what it is, although if you were to come to work with us in our shop you would learn about it as we have. In this build- ing alone we do jobs of all kinds using this un- known power, and some day, perhaps, we can take some of the mystery out of the mys- terious. We can tell you what it does and what we can make it do. It lights your homes with the touch of a switch. It heats your houses and cooks your food. When you want to travel it carries you as a magic carpet would. Its power makes it possible to bring you the benefits of radio and television. Using it you can play at being magicians, for we can make doors and windows open and close automatically using hidden relays and switches. In the morning it wakes you up, starts your coffee and burns the toast. At night the proprietor leaves his shop secure in the knowledge that an electri- cal watchdog lies waiting there. This was our shop choice when we came to Chelsea. VVe never had to ask ourselves the reason, It might have been because of the in- structors, but it wasnit entirely that. It might have been for the job opportunities, but it wasn't entirely that either. NVe were proud to learn a trade that does so much for so many. NVn.i.1AM Sc:runMEn
