Bork George Duerksen john Turner Directing some 23 teachers and 1145 students who spend from one to,fou.r hours a day in class is the job of Mr. Harry W. McKimmy, supervisor of voca- tional and industrial education at East. Vocational courses are designed to pre- pare a student for a job, while industrial arts classes are taught for general edu- cation, Vocational shop courses include the automotive trades, electricity, machine shop practice, printing, sheetmetal work- ing, trade drafting, welding, woodworking, industrial physics, and vocational mathe- matics. MAKING TRACINGS of pieces of machinery prior to making the original blueprint is an assignment of Mike Nichols, '58, in his trade-drafting class. MAKING BLUEPRINTS on a blueprint ma- chine is just one of the routine jobs, Steve Thompson, '58, has to do in the trade draft- ing class in room 711. With President Eisenhower's recent emphasis on the need for more science, it is interesting to note that avocational major is required to take physics and an extra year of mathematics. To supplement their vocational shop courses, seniors who qualify are placed on jobs by the co-op employment service. Industrial arts offers, on a one hour basis, driver education, general metals, and auto information in addition to the courses in the vocational section, .. john Jarvis John Edmiston Roy Matthews james Ruberson james Wene W.
