MAIIHINE SHUP IS IMPORTANT Although the Galion Vocational De- partment has had a prominent part in the education of Galion students for twenty-one years, the course this year has reached a higher peak of achievement than heretofore. One of the important reasons for the shop's Success year is because of the National Defense Training. It started operation july 15. This project has caused the welding and machine shop to operate from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M. five days a week. This work has been accepted with enthusiasm by the boys. The fact that every senior boy is working, making his own way and paying his own gradua- tion expenses is quite an incentive to the juniors. The senior boys have been working on set projects plus work of a production nature. In their senior year the boys were taught seperate operations rather than the production of some object in- volving these operations, which doesn't permit subject practice work to enable the students to become familiar with the separate skills. The seniors in shop this year were eli- gible for co-op work. Twelve of the boys, Eugene Crim, Robert Gilmore, David Harrison, Edwin Henry, john Kahn, james Moneysmith, Delbert Ritzhaupt, Ernest Schwartz, Rufus Whiteamire, James Wisler and Richard Lake, were employed at the North Electric. joe Ro- sella and Marvin Windbigler were em- ployed at the Eagle Crusher and Dean Taylor at the Metallic Vault Company. Robert Wisler was employed at the school shop under the D. T. C. program. Many orders from industries involv- ing hundreds of pieces has permitted a production set up never before possible. This work received from industries is not production work in terms of a particular industry, but consists of jobs which would require the removal of men on produc- tion. The school shop has been able to help industry and by so doing has re- ceived a greater amount of practice ex- perience. The welding shop is conducted on a production basis. Cabinets, tables, tate boxes, benches and platforms have been the steady diet. The material for the fabrication of different parts is furnished by industry as is the welding rod. The shop curriculum has been changed so that beginning this last year boys enter shop in their junior year instead of sophomore year. This means two years shop training and a general high school diploma upon graduation. A thirteenth year's work consisting of a full time job in industry plus night school courses and mechanical training math, and industrial history. This entitles the students to a state vocational diploma. Shop boys can be proud of their ath- letic abilities, having nine Varsity Gish in football and two manager G's for football and basketball. Their basketball team placed second in the intramural league. Three of the shop boys also took part in the junior class play. During the four months, February to May inclusive, a night drawing class was sponsored. There were fifty graduates and other men who attended these ses- sions. Blue print reading and sketching were the subjects offered. This helps in bettering the jobs of those who took this course. This year one of the classes majored in sheet metal layout drawings. While doing this they made models from paper. The eleventh grade classes made very interesting studies of all of the different metals. Charts were made and studied by the classes. Mr. Charles Aplas is coordinator of the shop department, and the related subjects are taught by Piner Long and Earl Somners.

Majorettes-Janice Egner, June Thayer, Dorothy Prosser. Drum Major-John Metheanyg Majorettes-Agnes Harbourt, Aase Oxaal, Ruth Poth, Color Bearers and Color Guards-Virginia Herr, Marjorie Ryon, Evelyn Adams, Phyllis Lingo. MAJUH FAUTUHS IN ATHLEHB This year our school was very fortu- nate in having, besides our regular drum- major, Jolin Metheany, who did an ex- cellent job, six snappy drum-majorettes, namely, Dorothy Prosser, June Thayer, Janice Egner, Agnes I-Iarbourt, Aase Oxaal, and Ruth Poth. In addition to these, we had two red-headed color bear- ers, Evelyn Adams and Marjorie Ryon, who added quite a bit of color to the band and two color-guards, Phyllis Lingo and Virginia Herr. As we hurry into the park on football PRUGHAM nights, edging our way to a seat near the 50 yard line, we hear in the distance the drums rolling, and we all await with eager anticipation-our band, accompanied by our high-stepping, baton-twirling druni- major and majorettes, the color-bearers, and the color-guards, all in perfect step with the rythm of the drums. Out in front of the bleachers come our cheerleaders-the veterans, Bob Burden and Ted Dunn, and the juniors, Ruby Ramsey, Pearl Morris, Phyllis Durtschi, Katherine Schneglesberger, Leslie Har-
