TORCH Junior' Class History Since our entrance into Erie Technical High School, we, the junior Class of 1931, have been able to hold our own in the school activities. Musicians, athletes, artists and technical, as well as trade students are among our ranks. During our junior year in this institute, we have done all in our power to be loyal and true to our school. VVe shall continue to give our school that support which is necessary to keep up the school spirit. Vtle are passing into our fourth and last year of high school. We have our ideals firmly es- tablished and will make good use of our Senior year in an attempt to gain them. As we pass on to our Senior year, we leave a clean record behind us for sophomore students. We hope that they will uphold the name of Tech as well as we have done.

M T O R C H -W Purpose of the School The lirie Technical High School was organized to meet the needs of that vast group of young men of our city who expect to follow some industrial pursuit in life. For many years our high schools ,have been offering to our young people an opportunity to prepare for business or college. Later, the two-year trade preparatory classes were added. Now, Tech is setting forth to expand the work begun in the industrial field to include a four-year technical high school course which prepares for both college and industrial occupations. There is a wide opportunity in the world's work for boys having such a training. These are the people who are to fill the wide gap between the skilled mechanic and the college trained engineer. COURSES OFFERED Four-Year Technical Course CCollege Preparatoryj. Any student having engineering aptitude, who is doubtful of being able to attend college, should enroll in the four-year college-preparatory course. The work is arranged to give the student considerable instruction in various industrial practices such as drafting, shop work, and practical science, and at the same time to give such other instruction as is required for admission to most colleges. A rather definite course of study has been outlined with a limited number of electives from which the student may select in order to meet the standards of the college he has chosen. Four-Year Technical Course CNot College-Preparatoryj. This course leads to a high school diploma, but is not a college-preparatory course. The student is allowed considerable freedom in the selection of studies, but must meet the major and minor requirements before being granted a diploma. This means that he must have at least three years' work in some subject other English and at least two years' work in a third subject. Work completed in any of the IWO-year unit trade courses may be used to apply toward this diploma. Two-Year Trade Preparatory Classes. Two-year courses are offered in automobile mechanics and gas engines, cabinetmaking and joinery, drafting practice, electrical construction, machine shop practice and tool making, patternmaking, plumbing and pipe fitting, print- ing, sheetmetal construction, and tailoring. These courses, which lead to a two-year trade preparatory certificate, are arranged primarily to fit boys for entry into the various trades. However, the work may be evaluated for regular high school credit toward graduation in the four-year technical course. A large part of the work moreover is accepted for entrance to some colleges. Any student who has decided upon going to college should make sure that the school of his choice will acknowledge these credits before enrolling in a trade course. llll
