The position as student shop fore- men has a three -fold purpose. It increases the knowledge of shop, it shows the stu- dent the occupational possibilities in in- industrial arts, such as teaching it, it also serves as an aid to the instructor. To be- come a foreman, the boy must pass a foreman test, must be a junior or a senior, and must have a B average in the shop program. Among the many tasks he must perform are grading and checking the students with the supervision of the teacher preparing and giving tests, and helping the teacher with the final grading. Being a foreman applies to his chance of winning the industrial award.
