THE MEANING OF UGIRLS' TRADES AND TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL OU have heard our name again and again, but many of you have never considered just what the meaning is of the words, The Girls' Trades and Technical High School. Not so long ago. when a group of about twenty-four seniors were asked this question, not a single girl could give a sat- isfactory explanation. These seniors determined then to learn and remember the correct meaning of their school name. The first part of the name, The Girls' Trades, speaks for itself. It implies the fine arts of home- making, design, millinery, dressmaking and tailor- ing. What is meant by the trades is clearly shown by the work which pupils accomplish in the indus- trial classes. The last part of the name, Technical High, is what really has a hazy meaning. You have often heard the expressions, technique of selling, tech- nique of typing, and many others. When the word technique is thus used it means the artistic execution of a particular skill. We can apply this same mean- ing to Technical High. It means that the sub- jects which are correlated with the trades skills are taught to broaden the knowledge of the pupil and to make of each girl a more intelligent worker and happier citizen. Girls' Trades and Technical High, -may its meaning always be correctly understood and its high standard faithfully held by its students.

A Day to Remember By Elua Bachman ARLY Monday, December 8, an impressive ceremony was enacted on the rear grounds of G. T. T. I said early: it was early, for even the most studious of us had not yet put in an appearance. At 7:30 Mr. Harbach, Secretary of the School Board, true to his established tradi- tion, lit the fire that started the steam engine's first ground-breaking. There was sentiment in the act: there was sentiment in our hearts when we heard of it. It meant that work on our new, long-awaited addition was actually begun. The chug of the engine and the clicking of its huge steel jaws may be annoying to teachers and pupils, but it should be remembered that with each truck load of ground that lumbers out of the alley, our desire is a little closer to actual realization. To seniors, this day is something to remember,--as it is with freshmen. Our freshies, however, still have the greatest day to look forward to,-the actual dedication. . l
