Nord. principal, presents a trade certificate FOREWORD Boys and girls, in increasing numbers, are finding the answer to their training needs through practical education in our Vocational High School. Here they have an opportunity to work together for a common purpose — that of receiving training to correlate activities of hand and mind. After three full years of specific education, graduates leave our school to face the world with a sincere, confident attitude, knowing that they have been well-grounded in a realization that only through honest effort will success and happiness be theirs. They have received the latest in technical information in their respective trades and a multitude of experiences which will help them as they take their places in this ever-changing, complex society. To this end we dedicate the activities of our Vocational School. True to the early vision of its founder. Miss Elizabeth Fish, our Vocational High School sends forth graduates each year, well-founded in honest ideals, endowed with a desire to work, and equipped with a knowledge of how to earn a living in one of the many trades of this school. We have only to review the success of our alumni to appreciate the full significance of this realistic training program. This spring another ciass of seniors will graduate from our school. As they leave, we take stock of the accomplishments of the past three years. You, the seniors of 1951. represent the first class to receive all of your training in the combined schools. We are proud of you and your accomplishments. We. as a staff, have tried to equip you for many of the problems of the future. With each one of you go our hopes and prayers for a most successful and prosperous life in the years ahead. RAYMOND V. NORD Principal C6D We come from all parts of the city and surrounding areas to the Minneapolis Vocational High School, Third avenue and Eleventh street. The Minneapolis Vocational High School and Technical Institute, the largest school of its kind in the Northwest, is coeducational. C7] With the cooperation of the teaching staff and the sincere efforts of the students, we, as a school, endeavor to meet the requirements of industry. Clerk explains record cards r ADMINISTRATION ■ 11 Mrs. Bertha Bruschweiler. the school nurse, checks student's health Ciu] This year of 1951 will be a memorable one for Mr. Nord, for it marks 25 years in his teaching career. He prepared for his field with a B.E. degree from St. Cloud Teachers College and a M.A. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1937. His first position in this field was at New York Mills, Minnesota. His work at Vocational began in 1941 when he became director of the war training program for Minneapolis. In 1945 he was appointed principal of Miller Vocational. Three years ago when the two schools were combined, Mr. Nord became the principal. 'Our Vocational school, says Mr. Nord, has two objectives: One — to train people in a trade so they will have a saleable skill; two — to give students the experiences and that information which they need to enable them to take their places as good citizens in the community, city, nation, and the world. Cii] Miss Thomson is well prepared for her position as assistant principal, which she has held for three years. Before that she was coordinator and modern problems teacher in our school. Not only has Miss Thomson years of successful teaching to her credit, but she is a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a B.A. degree, and Columbia University of New York City where she earned her Master s degree. Miss Thomson says. I am happy that my teaching life has been at Vocational High School. I think that the community here is more like real life than that of any other high school. We have the opportunity to introduce our students to the work-a-day world. We are concerned at Vocational with the total personality of our students. [12] Coordinators Mrs. Grace Kenyon Mr. Henry Bertelsen Miss Dagny Dietrichson Mr. Royalston Jennings ■ Miss Jane Lewis Mrs. Hazel Schmidt The six coordinators of Vocational are important people, both to students and faculty. They work in close cooperation with home room advisers, department heads, visiting teacher, and nurse. They keep close supervision over the progress of each student in their departments. Some of the duties of the coordinators consist in accepting students into departments, adjusting individual programs of students, {jiving permission to students who desire after-school jobs, making programs of placement and high school students at end of each semester, and placing students in industry on a part-time or full-time basis. Mr. Charles Sanders is coordinator for the barbering. electricity, radio, and shoe repair shops. As Dean of Boys, he is advisor for such jobs as general factory employment, stockroom work and messenger service. He counsels boys who are going into military service and evaluates military credits for former students so they may complete their high school courses. For many years, here at Vocational. Mr. Sanders has been interested in boys problems in and out of school. SENIORS OF 1951 Our Advisors Mrs. Sarah Jane Lemke Mr. Thomas B.

Radio Department Machine Drafting The electron tube, today, is put to work in more and more fields of human endeavor. This creates a gre ter demand for radio-trained youth. A three-year course is offered to high school students to provide the trade skills and technical background necessary for entrance into the fields of electronics and communications. It will benefit, also, those planning entrance to college engineering. The course in machine drafting is laid out for three years of practical drawing in an effort to meet the requirements of industry in this line of work. Academic subjects are included in this program. The field for draftsmen is large because everything in the machine line must first be drawn and its perfection proven on paper, before a workman may proceed to model the design.

The Retail Training Department The boys and girls who are accepted by the retail training department acquire, before finishing the three-year course, a knowledge of store systems, merchandising, and selling skills. They get practical selling experience and training in human relations by working in the school store where they deal with both students and the outside public. RETAIL TRAINING The merchandise handled by the store comes from both the wholesale market and Vocational's various school shops. The subjects taught in this department are designed to develop better than average sales people. As a result, its graduates are well prepared to contribute fine service in the many downtown stores.

Pre-Nursing and Child Care Pre-nursing students are taught the rules and methods used in the care of the sick or injured. They learn to do many things that will aid patients to be more comfortable while at home or in a hospital. Students learn in the child study classes to understand children better and how to care for them. Nine weeks of the course are spent in practical work in nursery schools and another nine weeks in a hospital where students assist registered nurses in the care of the sick. Regular academic subjects are included in this course. After graduation, girls may work as nurses’ aids, or as assistants in dentists’ and doctors’ offices. NURSING Row Is Mrs. Evelyn Beatty.

These clubs meet every other Friday morning from 8:20 to 9:00 from October through June. Students have an opportunity through this program to develop their hobbies and interests as well as to make new friends. The following clubs are offered: Air Age Fashion Drawing B.A.A. — y.M.C.A. Football Band Game Baton Twirling House Planning Bowling — girls — Y.W.C.A. Knitting Bowling — girls boys Mixers—10th grade Nicollet Loring Bowling Lane Model Car Camera Movie Cartoon Movie Technicians Chess-Checkers Photo Coloring Christian Fellowship Jr. Red Cross Community Sing Safe Drivers Craftsman Science Dancing—Social—seniors Scrap Book Dramatic Club Y-Teens—Y.W.C.A. The Radio Club Makes Fun and Has Fun. The Camera Club saying, Good-bye Now. Red Cross with Chest for Europe. Vocational's 1951 band has had another year of progress towards recognition as a comparable band with the other high schools in Minneapolis. The 52 members have played at football and basketball games as well as at many school programs. The 1951 choir, which numbers 41 students, has had a very successful year. Besides the many school programs on which the students have sung such as Christmas. Founders Day. and Easter, the choir has made some outside appearances. The highlight of the year was the Christmas program which was presented in the beautiful lobby of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank. Both Vocational's band and choir are directed by Mr. Thomas B. Cooley. E8H Under the guidance of Miss Edblom, Miss Gustafson, Miss Kean, and Miss Smith, the Junior Red Cross Club sponsored several outstanding activities this year. One of the most important was a beautiful chest which was made by the woodshop department and decorated by the art students. The chest was filled with articles bought from money contributed by the Vocational student-body. This was sent to a needy vocational school abroad. One hundred ninety-six gift boxes were filled by Vocational students during Christmas-time. Smaller activities also were part of the Junior Red Cross program such as May baskets and tray favors which were sent to hospitals — General and Veterans. All projects were directed towards one thing — making people happy. C82] Leadership Conference Five boys and five giris from every high school in Minneapolis and its suburbs have attended a high school leadership conference at the Y.W.C.A. each December for the past four years. This meeting has been sponsored jointly by the Y.W.C.A., y.M.C.A.. and the Minneapolis Public Schools. The purpose of the project has been to raise the level of thinking and action of high school students through having them meet together to work out their own problems. The delegates at each conference have gone back to their schools and. in various ways, have carried the project into their schools.

C85 □ My Friend You came when most I needed you, Like spring, when winter is too long, Like summer's wind you touched my hair. Like April rain you sang a song. You held my hands, and they grew warm. With earnest voice you spoke to me. And brushed my fevered tears away, And showed me what I could not see. And when you said that you must go. I could but sigh and touch your hand And whisper low. Good-bye, my friend.' I did not try to understand. And now when winter nights are sad, And fitful is my sleep and slow, I think of you — your words — your hands, And wonder how and where you go.
