The class averages one field trip each three weeks, to ice plants, local diesel repair shops, electrical plants, merchant ships-the field is widening so rapidly that there are always new centers to visit and new uses of diesel power to think about. With the nicrensed public acceptance of thc possibilities ot' diesel power and the human urge to travel in a vehicle that is sate, trouble free, and economical to operate, mday's diesel students face opportunities that were un- dreamecl of only a few years ago.

'l'he first ten-inch metal turning engine lathe ever made in the State of Florida by high school students. and one of the few ever constructed by high school students anywhere in the United States, was completed bythe morning Machine shop trainees in May. Several more of these lathes are in process of con- struction in the Machine shop, and this project has created among the students a high degree of interest because they have been able to see their accomplishment in producing an actual. usable piece of machinery. Advanced students in the shop who are enrolled in drafting classes will take the first lathe apart and work up drawings of the parts that will provide for sizes and toler- ances, From these drawings they will make new blueprints for use in construction ot' other lathes. .1- Wilt Summers is turning a gear hlank on a lathe W Zfznh-a-Zlianh i ACHINI-I SHOP again managed the repair of toys for the Lend-a-Hand Christmas A project in December, receiving and in- specting the toys, routing them through the shops best equipped to make certain types of repair, and finally - collecting them again for finishing touches and delivery. 1 Nearly 400 toys were repaired in the school shops , this year and turned over to Jack Bell, sponsor of Lend-a-Hand, for distribution at Vhristmas. i i re a shaper .' ln-nn: operated by herald bmith to cut down sides on a die block Philip Roberts is cutting it spur gear on the milling machine bl
