VOCATIONAL SHOPS ALSO AIDED TECHNICAL STUDENTS Auto, like most shops at Tech, was once considered training ground for only the student planning a future on the job. In 1958-59, he worked side by side with friends who wanted advanced training and careers in science and technology. The technical stu- dent could combine theory of class and lab with practical knowledge only shops can afford. Tech ' s first shops for girls were shorthand and typing. That was in 1921 when one typewriter was shared by both the office and the students. In 1958-59, hundreds of girls got thorough preparation for both home and business in fourteen modern, well- equipped shops. Boys’ shop offerings grew from one afternoon a week set aside for instruction in drafting by Mr. Benson to twelve separate shop programs which offer everything from pattern making to plumbing. The freshman boy in 1958-59 spent his year in four exploratory shops and got a sample of work in metals, wood, electricity, and drafting to see what suited him best. Every Tech student in 1958-59 was required to take shop work. A WELL-EQUIPPED, well-instructed shop in auto repair and maintenance offered student thorough training in an important job in our economy — auto mechanics. THIS WAS Mr. Galen A. Merrill ' s auto shop in the old Russell Street building in the late twenties.
