Enrollees are repaid for the time spent in these courses, even it they fail to adapt the profession of a drattsman, This training al- lows a student special ability to read drawings. A diversified course is presented which includes parts of everything a draftsman must know, as devel- opmental drawings, gearing, and assemblies. Not only representing objects, but, also understanding them and how they work is valuable knowledge gained from the course. The importance of trained draftsmen in industry should not be underrated. Without the blueprints made by the draftsman, the simplest object could not be manufactured accurately. Since the blueprints must be done correctly, the draftsman must be neat, exact, and have an understanding of his work. With the mechanical drawing program is allied the Architectural Drawing Course, and the Machine De- sign Course. The Architectural Course is devoted to those students intending to specialize in designing structures: the Machine Design Course is for advance work in industrial mechanism representation. Each course devotes two periods a day to precision drawing. Spasmodic periods throughout the semester are de- voted to freehand sketching. ,224

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-

uaic anal .xdrf Q Music, through the ages, has been an inspiration to man. Man without music is a machine, incapable of emotion. Through music is attained a character capable of absorbing and appreciating everything. It supplies the missing something in pure statistical knowledge necessary to instill a desire for beauty. With it is completed the otherwise animal-like creature which is man. Our Music Department offers one the opportunity to develop these fine qualities and at the same time af- fords the chance to pass on to others that which has been gained by such experience. A form of this is the fine assemblies, participated in by our Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra, which have brought pleasure to the Craneites. Art is another medium by which enjoyment through self-expression is attained. Regardless of the talent of the individual the creative desire is fulfilled. Many posters and scenes depicting coming or important events are drawn by those who are especially talented. These are used to reach the students for whom the events depicted will be of interest or consequence. They perform a function which would otherwise remain undone. These departments comprise an influential unit to which we are indebted for their unceasing efforts to raise the standards of our school. The Music Department is headed by Mr. Lewis Thomas: Miss Grace Diaz heads the Art Department.
