MR WM. KREAMER Volts and .lolts Department Head 31: niece! .SZQIQA f With the return of peace comes the inevitable scar- city of' well paying jobs. Only the skilled worker will be able to compete for top-flight jobs during this trying period. It is for the purpose ot training boys to hold their own in the industrial world that our technical depart- ment is maintained. Proot of the department's success is the success of our alumni, Our technical depart- ment will continue to turn out first class tradesmen as long as there is a demand for skilled workers. The course provided by our shops, which includes the essential two semesters of wood shop and one semester each of machine and electric shop, trans- forms our students into veritable jacks-of-all-trades. They leave school prepared to meet the world and are secure in the knowledge that they are capable ot re- taining and succeeding at any position or occupation they may undertake. 12041 Machinist-Mate?

BERNARD HARRINGTON CHARLOTTE HEATON NELDA HEEGARD IOHN HENSEY VIVIAN HUFFACKER MAX ITTEN EDWARD KALM FRANCIS KEHOE WILLIAM KREAMER IOHN LEAKE MABEL LEHMAN HALLIE LINDER General Science is a course combining a little of each of the other subjects and also natural phenomena not covered by the others. lt is mostly a prep course for what is yet to come. Biology explains to the student the various aspects of animal and plant life. Here one learns the origin and functions of living things. Physics, thought by some students to be one of the hardest of subjects, is handled by our competent in- structors in such a manner as to present the study of mechanics, heat, light, electricity, sound, and their minor branches, interestingly and in a fashion readily understood. From the aforementioned list it can be seen that physics covers items useful in everyday life. The study of chemistry deals with and explains facts about substances, what they are made of, what changes they undergo, and how different compositions of the basic particles compose every substance known to man. Of the above four subjects only two must be taken in order to graduate. One would do well, however, to take advantage of the complete course, for science, coupled with other studies, gives a well rounded and balanced education, suited to the personal needs of everyone. The course is a must for those students who intend to follow the line of engineering or any type of work such as that. All of the sciences can be applied to some kind of engineering. A four year science course is a good foundation for practically any profession or vocation. Now, with the new era of science coming to the fore, such a foundation is more important than ever. Revo- lutionary progress is being made which only the well prepared will be able to use to advantage. Now is the time to prepare. ,194 MR. CHARLES DUNN Department Head

Crew Chiefs in the Makmg ANNA MULLIGAN ANTENISCA NARDI MAURICE NEPTUNE ANTHONY NOVAK PAUL PETTET EMIL PFEIL MABEL PINGRY DALLAS PUFFER ocafionaf .SZOIQJ P Since Crane is essentially a technical school, it is natural that a Course should be provided for the student who has decided on a vocation which is to be his 1ite's work. This course, known as a Smith-Hughes course, allows the student to spend tour periods a day in the shop of his choice, thus enabling him to gain valuable knowledge and experience which will benefit him greatly when he attempts to earn his livelihood. In addition to shop, other subjects are required in order to give a student a balanced education. These subjects are related to his shop and includes science, drawing, essential mathematics, English and related history. It must be noted, however, that although a course of this type has its advantages, it will not furnish college entrance credits. Students who aspire for higher edu- cation are advised not to enroll in such a course. When a student finishes a Smith-Hughes course, he has the ability and selt-confidence necessary to be- come a success in the field he has chosen. The student has a choice of eight Smith-Hughes courses. Subjects offered are: architecture, auto, elec- tricity, foundry, linotype, machine, printing, and radio. ,214-
