The Industrial Arts Department consisted of the various shop courses: wood, print, drafting, drawing, auto, sheet metal, machine shop and welding. These courses were designed to give the boys a working knowledge in choosing their future vocations. Industrial Arts courses were valuable for students who planned to go into an engineering profession. Many professions today re- quire some knowledge of the industrial arts field. A skillful reason- ing, sharp eye, and steady hand are all needed in the industrial arts field. Although not all students took industrial arts courses for college preparation alone, a good many used their knowledge as a stepping stone to engineering and architectural schools. The boys learned how to work on tool and supply cabinets and how to handle electrical equipment. Industrial arts was a KR7 Pete' KWIS' IIIOVUUS WOOCI.

Harold L. Richards Harold L. Richards High School provided each building with a spacious, wellvlighted, and quiet library. Students who wished admittance needed to have a library permit from one ot their teachers. Our libraries not only contained books but also magazines and daily newspapers. Back issues of magazines were also available upon request. Since most students used the library for class reference work, many different reference books were available. Although the Harold L. Richards Campus library was newly opened this year, its students were offered a great variety of subiect matter. Many students used the library for read- ing enioyment as well as for their studies. A great boon to the orderly supervision ot the Library Department were its student aides, who helped sort books, helped other students, and kept library data in order.
