The boys use micrometers to find out if their project is within the one-thousandth inch tolerance. They learn many basic operations in machine shop, such as threading, tapering, and finishing raw material. Among the more advanced jobs are a surface gauge ancl an all- purpose tool holder. DR.

LEARNING techniques and fine points of welding is the fare of Welding Shop students. With furnaces blasting, incandescent iron comes spewing forth into the sand-filled flask. From another metal working shop comes the ringing of steel on the red-hot pieces held tightly in the tongs. Sweat-covered arms swing the hammers rhythmically down on the anvils. ln still another shop, sparks fly as two pieces of iron are welded together. These shops prepare the students for more advanced study in the metal working field. CHECKING the progress of the arc furnace is the job of Dishman. POURlNG OPERATION is managed by Tripoli. STUDENTS of forge pack their flasks with sand 134 in preparation for pouring of molten aluminum.
