Shop Classes ' Weld ' Mind, Hands for Industry Armed with the skills and background gained in Industrial Arts, many Manualites find jobs in in- dustry upon graduation; others use this background as they go on to specialized study in engineering, architecture, and related fields. Wood, Metal, Electric, and Machine Shops, all one- semester courses comprising General Shop, provide basic training in use of tools, methods of design and construction, and shop safety. In addition, they introduce the various industrial fields to students, providing a look at potential employment. Auto Mechanics, Printing, a n d Architectural Drawing, all two-year courses, attract advanced stu- dents, and often produce graduates who are able to qualify for skilled jobs. Eight semesters of Me- chanical Drawing prepare future draftsmen. Introduction to Engineering, developed by teach- er Mr. Robert Gallamore, and taught exclusively at Manual, gives upperclassmen with a background in mathematics and science, a look into the many fields of engineering. For those who have not had shop experience, it proves a valuable aid, as the facilities of the Department are open to the class. Included in the course are field trips, talks by guest instruc- tors, and a technical research project. Graphic Arts students have a variety of duplicating machines to practice on. Dave Coffman sets up a small hand press. v 3gttgr r Auto Shop Instructor Victor McDowell gives Phil Stover a few pointers on how to adjust this standard transmission. Skill and responsibility are required in using the large machines and tools in Metal Shop, jim Eggert well knows. 2 ' .)

Dictaphones, the allies of business- men in a hurry, give these would-be secretaries practice in taking short- hand dictation. Below, flying fingers tabulate columns of figures in a Ma- chine Calculation class. New Data Processing Widens Business Training Maxine Napier concentrates on typing Lesson 264 without error. Many boys also know the value of this useful course. New to the Business Department this year was Introduction to Electronic Data Processing. This sur- vey course explores the development of the data processing system involving programming techniques, punched cards, and computers. Study in this field can be continued with Key Punch, and Tab Equip- ment Operator courses offered at Tech High School. Future stenographers or secretaries gain practi- cal experience through Typing, Shorthand, and Fil- ing. Taking dictations and transcribing are the es- sential skills taught in Shorthand. Both speed and accuracy are sought by those in Typing classes. Learning the correct forms for letters and other papers will be useful to future gal Fridays. Many Manualites take courses that build a founda- tion for an accounting or bookkeeping career. Oper- ation of the comptometer to solve office problems involving discounts, payrolls, and inventories is the main objective of Machine Calculation. Bookkeep- ing students play the role for an imaginary busi- ness to master the methods of journalizing, post- ing, and making financial reports. Additional courses which give students a broader knowledge of the business world are General Busi- ness, Business Arithmetic, Business Law, Economic Geography, Salesmanship, and Office Training. 28
