CLASS OF 1935 0 0 e MACHINE SHOP Walking into a modern mill and walking into the machine shop are similiar sensations, for both places reflect the dlue glare of the welding torch and the scraping sound of a lathe. Very expensive machinery has been installed to aid in the elimination of long apprenticeships in this line. However, many skilled mechanics can be seen working silently at some project. Mr. George Hadley, the instructor, is thoroughly capable of coping with any of the problems that may arise inthe student's mind. Some of the articles turned out include gun parts, tools, jig-saws, parts of motors, and drill presses. The Welding department is under the supervision of Mr. Frank Bott. Three years of night work are equal to two years of apprenticeship. THE' own. i M

The electrical depart- ment proper uses as projects anything from rebuilding of old motors to the repairing of electrical appliances, and is under direction of Mr. Ralph A. McLaughlin. Electricians who are peers in their work, come here for fur- ther instructions. The radio course which is offered apart from the electric course is under the personal supervision of Mr. Kissinger. It is here that radio sets are con- structed, old ones rebuilt, and the basic principles of sending and receiving taught. The sending station of the school has been rebuilt recently.

O0 ol CLASS OF I935 In , MECHANICAL DRAWING Under the capable direction of Mr. Franklin V. Gill. students are taught the art of Mechanical Drawing. There are three distinct phases of Work offered in this course. The first covers practical instruction in blue-print reading, the second consists of the drawing of the blue-prints themselves, and the third includes archi- tectural drawing. The unique feature of this course is that very little education is needed as all the mathematics and other technicalities are injected with the course of the student's progress. A C. C. C. member completed drawings for an entire group of farm buildings which he plans to construct when he is discharged from the corps. Many individuals Working on inventions take advantage of this course to set down their ideas on paper. 74 THE OWL
