Production Garage is a three-year course which takes a student through the different stages of the automobile field. He receives training in the construction of the automobile, engine repair work, and garage practice. After a student has been in the auto mechanics department one year, he may take automotive electricity, which leads into the field of battery, ignition, and car radio service. The Vocational garaqe has the most modern equipment to be found in any Minneapolis High School. Because of the large supply of material to work with, the garage is usually booked up for six months in advance. The work includes clutch and ignition jobs, and varies from repairing brakes to overhauling motors. The training serves as a springboard to many other forms of work. Returning servicemen have found the training invaluable. Row I: O'Connor, Thomas; Sweeney, Jim; Ingeman, Marlcy. Row J; Karvonrn, Howard; Newman. Bob; Gortki, Richard; Boot. Donald.

Aviation provides an excellent future for ambitious young men. In the aviation courses both the theoretical and practical phases of aircraft maintenance are maintained. Two different courses are available in the aviation shop: first, the engine division; second, the aircraft structure itself. For the practical work there are various aircraft engines, and a P-35 Seversky pursuit plane in flying condition. This enables the students to familiarize themselves with the installation and dismantling of the aircraft engine, its equipment, and aircraft maintenance procedure. Upon completion of the two-year course, the trainee is obliged to take the C.A.A. (Civil Aeronautics Administration) examination in order to become a licensed mechanic.
