••THE TOWERS 19 4 8 19 4 9 PAGE FORTY-NINE TECHNICAL NEWS TECHNICAL — By JIM CAHILL. T3A The Technical Courie for boys is made up of a number of different shops and trades. A Grade IX Technical Student may receive three or four periods a week of a number of shops such as Sheet Metal. Drafting, Machine Shop and perhaps Foundry or any of the other trades taught in our school. The student will learn to use the machines and the tools of these shops and will make simple items and drawings in his first year. When a student has successfully completed his first year of high school, he is asked to make a choice of one shop which he intends to specialize in. Along with his major , he will also have two or three related shops, which are in some way connected with the work that he is specializing in. The Technical Course is over a four year period, and when a student has completed these years, he is ready to go out into industry in his specialized work. The two pictures above were taken, one in the Machine Shop of Mr. Baird and the other in the Carpentry Shop of Mr. Seggie. Working at one of the machines of our school ' s four Machine Shops are three young men from T2D, while in the other picture a group of boys from T3A are shown working on a few of the many odd items made in the Carpentry Shop. THE GIRLS OF T4A — liv DOREEN KENNEDY Who are our dieticians, nurses, dressmakers, laboratory technicians and homemakers of the fu¬ ture? These are the girls of the Technical Department. In this course the girls receive train : ng in Sewing, whereby they can make their own clothes. This is very valuable education for them even if they do not enter into this occupation. They are taught how to cook and many of the girls become dieticians. Chemistry is also important, especially for the girls who wish to enter nursing. They also receive good instruction in home nursing and first aid. t In the first picture, Mary Sleziak and Ruth Rollet show us how to fit a jacket. While Ruth models the coat, Mary is making sure the jacket fits well. It is very important for the coat to be carefully fitted. This is one of the main points in dressmaking. The next picture shows Joan Potosky, Jane Ballantyne, Blossom Patterson and Margaret Ken- nette seated at the table while Bernice Shaw serves the meal. Each week one group does the cook¬ ing and another group are the guests of the cooks. Those that do the cooking also serve. The fol¬ lowing week they change so that each week the groups have different jobs. This course gives the girls a well-balanced training and when they are finished they can special- ize in a large number of occupations.
