Vocational Industrial Training The year 1943-1944 brought to Farrell High School a much needed addition to the curriculum. Through the tireless efforts of our Superintendent, Mr. Carroll D. Kearns, equipment was secured and a program was set-up to enable the boys of this school to prepare themselves to take skilled jobs in industry after graduation. The boys taking this work spend one half their school time in the shops, receiving trade informa- tion and instruction in methods and technique-s of the operations of work in their particular shop. During this time, they are under the guidance of a teacher who has been selected be- cause of outstanding proficiency in his field. The remainder of the boys' time in school is devoted to the pur- suit of studies which are necessary to the success in the shop. These studies, as much as possible, relate to the shop which the students are taking. Such subjects as: Related Mathematics, Related Science, Re- lated Drawing, English, Civics and In- dustrial History are emphasized for the boys taking the course. A large part of the tools and equipment used in the shops has been secured from the State and Federal HAROLD J- PECK Government. This equipment is the Vocational Director same type and size as that used by industry so that the student will be able to take his place in industry with a minimum of re-training after graduation. In order to give the students coming to high school an opportunity to become acquainted with shop work, a General Shop is in operation at the Junior High School Building. Boys in the seventh and the eighth grades are required to take work in this shop. A Wood Shop has been installed in the high school for boys who do not wish to spend the majority of their time in a shop. The instructors in shop work are as follows: Mr. W. W. Wise, Electric Appili- ance Shopg Mr. E. E. McClearn, Machine Shop, Mr. H. G. Read, Sheet Metal Shopg Mr. A. M. Kilbert, Wood Shopg and Mr. August Miller, General Shop. Defense classes have been held in the shops and classrooms since last spring. Many men and women have taken advantage of free instruction in these courses. These classes are taught by Mr. Leon Avril, Mr. Adam Stey, and Mr. A. M. Tohir. The Vocational-Industrial Program is under the direction of Mr. H. J. Peck, formerly of Midland, Pennsylvania. Mr. Peck is a graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology in Engineering and received his Masters Degree in Education from the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition to several years in industry, Mr. Peck has spent ten years in Vocational Education in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, and Mid- land, Pennsylvania.
