Heads Help Hands Learn Handicraft The whir of saws, the clang of the Auto Me- chanics Shop, the strange instruments and sounds of the Radio and Electricity Shop — all these are a part of the Industrial Arts Department which func- tions under the glare of tlie shop lights in the wing at the rear of DeVilbiss. Here, too, one may find boys working busily in Mechanical or Architectural Drawing classes, in a Cabinet Making class, or in the Freshman Industrial Survey class. During the past few years, the interest of boys in the Industrial Arts program has greatly increased because of a growing awareness that it is the trained personnel who secure the best jobs. The Industrial Arts Department prepares boys for immediate em- ployment upon graduation, or for further study in their respective fields. The goal of the instructors of this department is to train each boy to become useful with his hands.

Mildred Pasch Dean of Girls Confidant, adviser, friend — Miss Mildred Pasch is all of these to the grateful young women of DeVilbiss. Always calm when others are excited, firm when necessary, hut forever kind, her serenity envelopes you as you step into lier office. In her message to the students in last year ' s annual, Miss Pasch said that to achieve true great- ness, one must be wise, tolerant, and kind. We recognize the value of such advice because it has made her so successful in her own profession. Acting as faculty consultant to the Junior branch of the Northwestern Ohio Vocational Guid- ance Association is only one of the numerous ways in which she gives freely of her time and under- standing. The girls of DeVilbiss High School realize their good fortune in having Miss Pasch for their dean. Russell Brown Dean of Boys Whether the Spanish Department suffered a greater loss or the boys enjoyed a greater gain by Mr. Brown ' s transfer from head of the Spanish De- partment to the Dean of Boys is still debatable. Popular with all the students who regard him as a good Joe, Mr. Brown has set many a young Tad on the right track, not only in schedule prob- lems, but in bigger issues as well, involving voca- tions, family troubles, and matters which have much to do with the outcome of a hoy ' s life. He always takes a very personal interest in every boy and is never too busy to stop and talk something over. The Sharps and Flats have the benefit of our dean ' s advice as well as the Sophomore Class. So, hoping he will continue to be boys ' adviser for many years to come, we salute our simpatico ' ' senor Brown.

Courses Correlate Commercial Careers Last fall manv students were disappointed who had planned to studj- shorthand or typing this last year. This was due to the crowded conditions existing in the commercial department. Of course, almost all who are taking business courses were given preference and seniors too were able to get into these classes. This shows, however, the in- creas ing realization of the importance of a knowl- edge of commercial subjects in both the business and academic worlds. The school affords many opportunities for em- ploying business skills. An office practice group works in the deans ' offices, several students do typ- ing for the yearbook and school newspaper, while other groups work for the teacliers by preparing mimeographed copies of examinations. Although shorthand and typing are the most popular subjects, bookkeeping and junior business training also prepare many of the pupils for careers. Mr. Ollee Klee.
