The Haverhill Trade School was organized in 1926 with thirty-two students and two instructors, with courses in Plumbing and Sheet Metal. The school was first located in the Whittier Building at 87 Winter Street, with two shops located on the second fioor. The next year the enrollment was further increased by the addition of thirty-two more students with two instructors teaching Automotive Repair and Printing. The Auto Repair shop was located on the first fioor and the Printing department was located on the third fioor. A second class of Automotive Repair was organized in 1928. In September 1935 a new vocational division known as the General Vocational department was formed with the specific aim of giving instruction in Household Mechanics, Woodworking, Electrical and Machine Shop practice to pupils of the age of high school freshmen. This school was located in the old Chestnut Street School which has since been razed. ln one year's time the pupils in this division were instructed in each of the four trades previously named as well as being given instruc- tion every other week in English, civics, elementary science, shop mathematics, mechanical draw- ing and physical hygiene. The replacement for Trade School graduates were taken from this group, and the remaining pupils returned to high school as sophomores. In 1936 a Unit Trade Department in Electricity was started and 'in January 1938 another group of pupils ioined the Sheet Metal course of instruction. In T938 a placement service was organized for the graduates and the school leavers. Main Building and Spofford Annex
