.e. i fl 1 ff .1 ff X MACHINE HOP E SHOP TECH. Fortunate indeed is the student who has had the opportunity of graduating from the Machine Shop course at Diman Vocational High School. Here, in one of the best equipped school machine shops in the state, the student receives basic training on the standard machine tools used in industry. During his four years of high school education the student learns about the construction of these machine tools, the function of the principal parts, the basic operations that are performed, and the wide variety of cut- ting tools that are used on these machines. He learns how to read and how to make drawings. He is instructed in the use of the various measuring tools used to obtain different degrees of accuracy for given iobs. Safe working habits are continually stressed. Knowing all these things does not suffice. The student must have the necessary related technical information that is so vital in developing workers who are resourceful, who have initiative, who are creative, and who are capable of independent thought, and action. In the related classroom, the student learns the science of the trade, the fundamentals of metallergy, and the math, geometry, trigonometry, and logarithms directly related to his trade. Yes, the graduate of the machine shop course at Diman Vocational High School has every right to be proud, for he has something that industry can use, a sound mind, and a sound foundation for future craftsmen. - Mr. John P. Harrington. ONE MORE TURN TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
