With Preparations for Future Emmerich Manual Training High School, found- ed in 1895 as an industrial training school, has since developed into a regular academic high school, although the name is retained as tradition. More than 150 courses, touching every field, are offered. An excellent shop department, which trains students for good jobs in industry, is still an important part of the school; but college prepara- tory work is now stressed. Manual students can prepare for any college in the United States. Pu- pils, terminating their education with high school, may major in business, home economics, indus- trial arts, music, or fine arts and be well trained for jobs. Supplementing classes, academic clubs add to Manualites ' education because of their co- curricular activities. $» Manual ' s Business Education Department turns out many efficient secretaries. Using the most modern of office equip- ment in our business classrooms, students are well prepared for jobs in up-to-date offices. Having to write a term paper for an English or Social Studies class is good experience for college-bound Redskins or future business men and women. Dona Lang and Tom McKinley check sources for their papers in the Library.

Basic 3R ' s, Plus Many Special Subjects, ce? The first week in June is Manual ' s Student Projects Fair. All departments display their products in one big show in the Gym, and everybody comes. Above is a boat lift made in the Industrial Arts Department. BJow, interested Manualites look over the yard parks designed by biology students. Learning in our five-year-old modern plant is fun. Just-like-new equipment and large, well-lighted classrooms do much to provide a pleasant atmos- phere. Competent teachers make learning easy and interesting. Our school day consists of eight, 40-minute pe- riods. Most students stay in school the full time, and, even then, it is impossible to take everything desired from the many varied subjects offered. College-bound pupils fill-up their schedules with Manual ' s special college preparatory courses, while pupils ending their education with high school graduation take advantage of this last for- mal training. Academic achievement is rewarded by many sen- iors ' winning scholarships to colleges. Faculty members encourage participation in outside con- tests and projects. During a geometry class, one of numerous mathematical courses offered at Manual, Bob Burton and Mr. Raymond Van Arsdale, instructor, discuss a proposition for the class.
