Any student hungry for authentic voca- tional training can satisfy his appetite by in- rolling in the Industral Arts Department of George Washington High School. While the prospective shopman examines the variety of courses offered he notices there are six especial- ly tempting ones: Drafting, Machinery, Wood- working, Electricty, Printing, and Auto Shop. Each of these courses is served with generous helpings of professional instruction and up-to- date industrial equipment. As an appetizer, the Continental might choose printing. With this course he would aid in the printing of all official school documents and in the production of The SURVEYOR and The POST. A study in mech- anical d r aw i n g would then be an excellant main course to consider. Here th e individual would learn the art of drafting and blue-print reading. If the Continental desires a little something extra, he may fulfill his craving by electing advanced course in drafting,. W o o d- working, and electricty. A well-balanced In- dustrial Arts program is always ready to be served to Washington shop enthusiasts. PROOF READERS.

Eleanor Firestone serves at the Leadership Luncheon given to honor outstanding Ajunior and senior pupils. 24 Ranging from freshmen to seniors, the stu- dents at Washington High School often include home economics as one of their elected sub- jects. The two major divisions are foods and sewing classes. In the sewing classes the girls learn to read and use patterns, making every- thing from blouses to formals. Advancement is also an important part of the foods classes. The students begin in foods by working direct- ly in the labs and preparing simple dishes. In the advanced foods classes the girls and boys serve formal dinners and also the monthly Business Men's Luncheon. Other divisions in the home economics department include Home Hygiene, Family Living, and Home Manage- ment. Any one of these many home economics courses is instructive as well as preparatory and will play an important part in the future lives of the Washington High School students.
