Vocational Department INDUSTRIAL Four nights a week, the Industrial Department is open to Elkhartans for evening classes in machine shop, blue- print reading. Avelding. On Saturday mornings these classes taught by our own faculty men are also given: this is supplementary training for employers of local industries, to train them for ad- vancement. A new machine, made b Lyston Jennings, was first de- signed by the drafting class: then the patterns were made in pattern-making class, a local foundry made the castings, and the machine was assembled in our shops, with Lyston in charge. Costing only thirty-five dollars, the machine w ill sell at three hundred. These classes also made a drill- press, to be used in the new equipment at Roosevelt and have recently made tables on which lathes are to be mounted.
