MACHINE DRAFTING Today we have come to the realization of our very complex and highly industrious competitive world which has a dehnite bearing and influence on our own personal economy and comfort. The question has frequently been asked by the everyday man on the corner, Wl1ere does the draftsman enter into this world picture, and how does he contribute to the progress of mankind? This question is quickly answered by observation in and around our own communities and homes. The trains, airplanes, auto- mobiles, ships, bridges, buses, refrigerators, and mother's washing machine all had to be born on the Drafting Board by the unsung but ever essential creator, The Draftsman. In the very short span of four years the foundation of what had been a be- wildered but ambitious boy wanting to learn a trade has now been converted to a stable and clear thinking individual and .groomed for the ever increasing demand for Draftsmen. To them, so few in numbers, lies the tremendous responsibility of supplying the industrial world with the ever demanding need of Machine Draftsmen, Machine Designers, Tool De- signers, Sheet Metal Layout Men for automobiles, ships, and planes. The Diman Vocational High School and the faculty may well be proud of their contribution to the progress of their young men. l

ELECTRICAL SCIENCE Perhaps it was the vision, or otherwise, of the prophetic genius of Americas greatest Scientist, Thomas Alva Edison, as he strolled down Hartwell Street in 1884 to establish the Fall River Electric Light Company that inspired our 1953 Electrical Wizards to accomplish such near-perfection in the knowledge of their chosen mother- science, Electricity: Nevertheless, they have advanced with gigantic strides, under the guidance of superior Instructors, through the alluring charms of Electrical Science with its broad regions of exhilarating discovery, to the portals of success, fully prepared to distinguish themselves in the World's progress in this field. We feel that their efforts will be crowned with masterful accomplishments in life, for they go forth as potential electrical craftsmen ready to contribute in no little degree to the welfare of our Nation and Community. .Jing
