Had Industrial Education proved to be a valu- able asset to our school and community in turning out students prepared for vocations in mechanics, building, and related fields. Most freshmen were advised to take ex- ploratory shop if their interests we e along vocational lines. Mechanical drawi g aided future engineers. Among the various courses offered to sophomores, juniors and seniors were wood shop, mechanical drawing, print- ing, metal shop, welding and machine shop. The building trades class, as in previous years, built a project house which was sold to earn money for the next year's house. Diversified occupations gave opportunity for actual on- the-job training. Advanced vocational courses were open to juniors and seniors only. Mr. Smoot, head of the department announced his retirement in june.
