Precision, nearness 'rypify mechanical drawing Mechanical drawing, while being one of the more popular courses, is far from easy. The course is olfered for six semestersg the hrst four include basic prepara- tion while the last two are a type of honors course for the more capable draftsman. The basic course teaches the use of drafting tools, shows applications of geometry, and emphasizes neatness. In the first year boys learn to read plans, to draw and dimension castings or blocks, and to make assembly and detailed drawings by use of sectioning and auxiliary views. In the second year, a student may continue basic drafting or elect an architectural course. Whether preparing a student for drafting as a trade or for college work in engineering or architecture, mechanical drawing is a complete course. Of all the important tools of the draftsman, capable, dex- terous hands are the most vital. The hands of a person can reveal many character traits and here the hands of two stu- dent draftsmen disclose knowledge as they point out the way to better understanding of a mechanical drawing problem.p lil, . I Pondering an exercise in mechanical drawing are Carl Phil- , 3, liPS and Jack Whiting who find that a consultation about the ' ': I, , problem to be solved before starting their drawings helps them ,ff if arrive at the correct solution in a short time.

ill 'i Ink, Type, film are used Printing is a part of the general education course and is designed like a job shop in which students can learn the basic fundamentals of the printing industry Equipping the shop are an offset press which is capable of producing 6000 copies an hour, three platen presses a hydraulic paper cutter, an exposure frame a power stitcher, proof press, and Jogger With these facilities students can do almost any prmtmg Job, such as the scheduling manual graduation pro gram, activity tickets, football programs, and the insert pages of The Hzghlander Printing, then, is not only an interesting and useful course for its students but is a valuable addition to the school and community as well 4Sett1ng type for printing may sound easy but actually is quite difficult since copy must be set to read backwards Each letter must be picked out of its place in the case and set in the composing stick Here Bill Corrill sets type for one of the many school printing jobs Operators of offset presses receive excellent pay in adult life and rn Seaholms printing department boys are given an opportunity to learn a little about the lithography trade Jim Bram checks the printed copies of a school form while John Rogosky regulates the supply of ink on the offset press Y I f . 9 a , . 5 i , - i'UM 1 ,, 3 n . . . . .
