Coming to Vocational each year are students eager to learn one of the many trades offered. Here they prepare to meet the future with a basic foundation for success in a world demanding specialized, skilled workers. The students who apply for entrance must meet certain requirements. Here is what the co-ordinators check on: 1. Good attendance. 2. Personality and special interests. 3. Average abilities. 4. Teachers' recommendations. Each department also has its own requirements. A student entering Vocational has three years of training in his chosen trade, as well as related work and the regular high school academic subjects. Beginning in his senior year, the student may go on a co-op program. Here his employer checks on his progress and reports to his co-ordinators at school. If the student is successful, the job may become permanent and the graduate becomes a definite asset to industry and the community. SOPHOMORE PRINTING Flut Row: Kenneth O'Clain. Tom Harvey.

COMMERCIAL ART The three-year Commercial Art course trains the student’s mind and enables him to apply what he learns to modern art problems. This course includes practice in show-card lettering, silk screen, display signs, and greeting cards. These are but a few of the many things that are taught. The necessary qualifications for success in this work are imagination, patience, and ability in drawing. When the student receives his high school diploma, a trade diploma is also given him.

The application of hand tools and general woodwork are the concern of the first year. Second year students are instructed in the basic machine operations. They are given projects with which to gain experience. The senior year provides experiences in cabinet construction and some millwork operation through which the student develops skill and creative ability. Graduates of this trade may become cabinet workers, mill workers, and general woodworkers. SOPHOMORE CABINET MAKING Firit Row: Jerry Olto-' Blaine Grant Leonard Sande Jerry Lange. Irv.n Bird.

BUSINESS Students who enter the business course are selected on the basis of an aptitude for detail, a basic knowledge of English and math, and character assets. In order to prepare Vocational's students to be successful in the business world, everyone is trained in typewriting, filing, bookkeeping, and machine operation. In the first year a major course is chosen such as stenography or general office. In addition to English and history, basic training is given in type- writing and bookkeeping. Advanced work in typewriting and office training are given in the second year. Trade relations are stressed in the last year of training. The opportunity for obtaining practical on-the-job experience by working on the co-op program is also offered students. Vocational equips its business graduates with self-reliance. speed, accuracy, and efficiency whereby they can easily secure positions in leading offices in the city.

Students in this trade are taught, among other things, the basic theory of electricity, hook-ups. repair of burnt-out motors, commercial and residential wiring (both alternating current and direct Current), and transformers. The department also had direct contact with the public, because it offers a repair service for electrical appliances at a nominal charge. The boys in their senior year also learn the use. construction, and maintenance of the photoelectric cell, better known as the electric eye. Because of their extensive training, students trained in electricity are much in demand in our community. SOPHOMORE ELECTRICITY Pint Row: Gene Johnson, Dale Schmid. Fred Cornelius. Dorrell Huffman.

WELDING A welder’s torch, flying sparks, masked face, and gloved hands is an everyday scene in the welding shop. Learn by doing is the slogan for the welders. Gas welding, burning, arc welding and class work are included in the course, plus repairing and building welded projects. Students study metals, shop drawings, blueprints. and learn to estimate the cost of jobs. There are instructions and practice in brazing, silver soldering, cutting and welding in flat, vertical and overhead positions. Graduates find employment in industries that require prefabrication and welding of metal parts. SOPHOMORE WELDING Firit Row; Gcoigc Koczot. Rotcrt Bukva, Frank Balcome Kenneth Hcrkal.

The students are trained in cooking and the preparation of foods as well as in serving them. Some work is also done in filling orders for decorated cakes, fancy sandwiches, and pastries. The course prepares girls to earn their living by holding positions as cooks, waitresses, pantry girls or salad makers in tea rooms or cafeterias. Boys may become cooks, waiters, or bakers' assistants. Left to Right: Wiliam Langlait, Claudia Nclton, Miii Kitchin Albert Jacobson. JUNIOR PRINTING First Row: John Snvder.

UPHOLSTERING To become experienced with the tools and equipment of the upholstering course, the students draw, build and upholster simple chairs and other small pieces of furniture. Later, they study different types of fabrics, color schemes, desiqns, and period furniture. Part of their training is building and rebuilding furniture. As they progress, students learn to estimate the cost of upholstering work and are taught the more advanced techniques. After completing this course, students have many opportunities in the trade.

In the first year of the course, the time is divided between academic subjects and cosmetology. Hair styling, shampooing, permanent waving, massages, and manicuring are included in the first year's training in beauty culture. During the second year, along with advanced theory, the skills are perfected through shop practice. The girls also work on outside patrons who pay a nominal fee. State Board examinations are taken after 1.500 hours of theory and practice. Students then receive state licenses which permit them to become beauty operators. Many of Vocational's students are employed in the finest beauty shops in Minneapolis. JUNIOR ELECTRlCITy First Row: Waller Kozmik, Ralph Hobbs. James Crone. David George Donaid 8.rkhol .

NORD Principal NORMAN JENSEN Assistant Principal MARGARET THOMSON Assistant Principal Henry Bcrtelsen Grace Kenyon COORDINATORS Jane Lewis Hazel Schmidt Royalston Jennings C 38 3 Vocational is the only school in the state to have a local teacher-trainer available to help instructors with their methods and problems in teaching. Mr. J. Robert Fausch assists trade teachers with course outlines and instructional materials such as job sheets, tests and the like. His department keeps courses and course content up-to-date. Donald Evans J. Robert Fausch THE STAFF COUNCIL Vocational's Staff Council may be compared with its Student Council. The teachers bring problems and ideas to their own group's- attention, just as their students do. Among the subiects discussed and worked on are: (I) Planning visiting days for Junior Highs. (2) Preparing follow-up reports by co-ordinators on former graduates. (3) Changing program plans in trade departments for the coming year. This council is a committee of members of the faculty composed of the principal, assistant principal, nurse, visiting teacher, librarian, department heads, and co-ordinators. This makes the group smali enough so that important issues can be easily handled. Meeting once a month, the Staff Council discusses policies of the school. It considers which ideas should be brought to the attention of the entire faculty: then each representative takes back the Council's recommendations to his own department. This is one way a large faculty keeps in touch with the problems of the entire school. First Row: Schmid Lee Corleton. Kelley. Nord. Thomson. Roskilly. Gander, Keen. D.etnchson.

W1 Dagny Dictrichson Visiting Teacher THE OFFICE CLERKS The average student at Vocational does not realize how much he is tied up with the office staff. All program and attendance cards, as well as requests for excuses, records, bulletins, and announcements. go through the capable hands of the well-trained force in Vocational's office. Many students are confronted, at one time or another, with problems that are too difficult for them to solve by themselves. These may include many absences, home troubles, or. maybe, financial difficulties. Miss Dietrichson willingly listens to all in an attempt to solve them. If something can be done, she indicates a place where help can be received. Vocational’s school nurse is a very busy person. Not only is Bertha Bruschweiler on call for First Aid assistance throughout the day. she must arrange for physicals for new students, assist the doctor who comes every three weeks and take care of clinic, doctor and dental appointments. Mrs. Bruschweiler checks in students who have been absent because of illness. She often winds up a busy day by making necessary home calls. JANITOR ENGINEERS First Row: John Mohart. Mabel Smith C. L.

FOOTBALL Outstanding seniors on Vocational's 1952 football squad are Doug Stephans. Cliff Christopherson, Ken Peters, Bob Prins, and Gene Boeser. Returning lettermen are John Patrick—left half, Don Temp—quarterback, Walt Traczyk— center. Walt Lambrecht—tackle, and Bill Tomczyk—end. Bill also won the Line-Man-of-the-Week award for his fine ploy in the Roosevelt game. The Volts' first taste of victory came in the Roosevelt gome. It was a hard fought one by both teams. The Volts held the edge and won 19 to 12. The games with South, Edison, and West resulted in losses to us. The remaining three games found the team losing to Henry and Southwest. But we took the measure of Washburn to the tune of 20 to 13. Although the season ended for the Volts with two wins and five setbacks, the team progressed all year and never gave up.

With a bye the week of January 30. the Volts traveled to Waseca. Minnesota, for a non-conference game and were beaten by Waseca. Going into the District Seventeen play-offs for the second time in two years, tne Volts met Washburn in the first round and were eliminated 49 to 36. As a team, the Volts did very well for 1952-53 season. They had only three men back from the team that went to the district finals last year. The Volts were also one of the two teams in the city that placed two men on the all-city squad. Roosevelt was the other. Outstanding players for the year were Jerry Kuchinski, Ray Kocon. Bud Westblade Bingo’ Gardner, and Bill Tomczyk. Tom Withrow Vein Fiedler BASKETBALL—B SQUAD First Row; Grum. Nciion, Horbul. Harder. Mingo. Verbruggce. Second Row. Fouch, Neuman.

They are busy with basketball, badminton, volleyball, kickball, and rhythms. Their goals are strong bodies and clear, healthy complexions. This hour of exercise is not only fun—these actors, in learning to play together, are able to carry off victory, as well as defeat, with good sportsmanship. BOYS' GYM CLASSES The heavy thud of feet and the shrill pierce of a whistle are familiar sounds in the boys gym classes as the fellows go into their games of basketball, volleyball. German kickball. or soccer. The exercises and activities carried on during these periods develop skills and physical fitness in the boys. Let s give three cheers to the gym teachers who have done such fine jobs to promote good sportsmanship and to develop Vocational’s fine athletic program. C5I] TRACK First Row: Patrick. Jim Miller.

If this fact startles you. drop in at the Girls Gym some club morning and see for yourself. Here in the Social Dancing Club, seniors strive to conquer shyness. Both sexes sniff at tram-pied feet as mere trifles—that is. at the start of the year. But as the Senior Prom draws near, everyone is expected to be able to cut a rug with no casualties. You will find at Vocational, a wide variety of clubs. If dancing s not up your alley. Safe Drivers. Photo-Coloring. Movie. Bowling or Community Singing Clubs may appeal to you. In any case, no one need be a wallflower because he may choose his own club and find friends with the same interests. LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE On February 18, 1953. the annual Leadership Conference was held at Vocational. Home room representatives and visiting guests from other high schools became part of the beehive of activity. The big event started with a bang! By the end of the half-hour funfest, the guests were at ease. Later, attentive students listened to Mr. Howard Hush, Chief Probation Officer, Hennepin County. The title of his address. BETTER LEADERS MAKE BETTER CITIZENS.' was the theme for the conference. Afterwards, the members of the audience went to assigned groups to discuss the speech from their points of view. A coke session concluded a very satisfying first meeting of the conference. The following afternoon, questions vital to teen agers were gone into fully by participants. These were chosen by a committee of students headed by Valford Kelly, and assisted by Miss Sorum and Miss Blessin. two Vocational teachers, and Mr. Kajawa. a Y.M.C.A. advisor. The meeting was closed with the chairman reading from a booklet, composed by a student committee. the purpose of the conference: To give high school students an opportunity to share with adults and with each other mutual problems and experiences, and to help students recognize their responsibilities and possible contributions in determining attitudes and actions in the school and the community.

This lively group of thirty is billed as the Helping Hands of Vocational. They play their roles well as they guide and assist the visitors who tour our school. Persons of all colors and creeds step onto our stage. During the past year these have included: Junior High students interested in entering Vocational classes in the fall. Minneapolis citizens, out-of-town residents, exchange students from foreign lands, as well as teachers from other countries especially interested in Vocational training. In order to carry on their parts successfully, the members of the Senior Service Club must meet certain qualifications. These are: 1. Membership in the senior class. 2. Rate a B average in class work. 3. Possess the ability to interest the visiting public in our school.

CRAFTSMAN STAFF One of the best acts in the Revue is put on by our school paper. The Craftsman. Pat Lukens. the editor-in-chief, has a fine group of workers while Miss Fisk, the advisor, stands by ever ready to assist. The 1953 Craftsman Staff has covered the school news and presented it to the students and faculty like true newspapermen. Whether it be the latest sport events, important visitors, special radio broadcasts, or something for over the coke bar, these students always get their stories. A round of applause to The Craftsman staff for keeping us so well informed. STUDENT COUNCIL Can something be done about speeding up service in the lunchroom? Why can't the Juniors have a dance of their own? How about printing the lunchroom menu in advance? These are but a few of the many questions brought up in Student Council meetings. Besides trying to solve these problems, the members also plan school events such as Homecoming, Open House, and the Spring Dance. Representatives to this group are elected by their home rooms to serve on the council which meets every two weeks. They come to the meetings with ideas and suggestions, hoping in this way to contribute to a more smoothly-run school. The Student Council, a most important part in the life of Vocational High School, is led by the following officers: President, Phil Schlernitzauer; Vice President, Arlene Hoover: Secretary, Marianne Wegley.

Because of it. the seniors' social calendar has held many happy and exciting events. Mrs. Lemke's sunny smile and Mr. Cooley’s quiet humor have been bright banners for the class of 1953.

And now as the seniors pass in review, They bid Vocational Hail and Farewell! Because of thee, Dear Alma Mater, Thy loyal sons and daughters Eagerly, confidently, face the future! L63] SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS The Tradewind Staff reviews the 1953 senior class officers with pride and pleasure. The graduating class made no mistake when it chose the following people to be its leaders: President: William Thurner. He has presided at senior meetings with dignity, and kept the group well organized. Vice-president: Leo Sedlacek. A well-qualified person, he has always been ready to take over Bill's duties. Secretary: Clarice Olson. She did an outstanding job with the various planning committees and writing up the minutes of the meetings. Treasurer: Lillian Standal. Getting the seniors to pay their dues is not an easy job. but Lillian carried out this feat with ease. The senior class wishes to thank these students who worked so faithfully during the past year for the 292 seniors in the group. BAKER, CHESTER: Aviation Mechanics. Senior Dancing Club • ARME.

This is the theme of the girls in the pre-nursing and child care department who are being trained to serve the community. The students of this course are taught the academic and related subjects of their trade as well as the rules and methods for the care of the sick. They also study the mental, emotional and physical growth of children. In their junior year the girls work in nursery schools of the city and the Vocational Hospital for a period of nine weeks each. Seniors with average marks have the privilege of the co-op program, working at some job related to their trade. Thus, these girls in this department become valuable assets in the child care and nursing fields and friends, indeed, to their communities. JUNIOR AND SENIOR SHEET METAL Pint Row: Mike yurich.

VOCATIONAL'S FLAG This fall the Commercial Art department was given an outstanding assignment—to design a flag for Vocational High School. From all sketches turned in for this project. Noel Grech's was chosen. It was modern and original in expression. Then Noel made all contacts that were necessary. from the beginning to the completion of the flag. She selected its material, got in touch with a pennant company and finally saw the flag delivered to the Parade Stadium during the Homecoming game. For any event of importance. Voca-tionals flag will be in full view. Its permanent position, however, is in the main hall of the school. There it will stand, fittingly, opposite the American flag at the foot of the wide staircase. We are proud of our flag—a symbol of loyalty to Vocational.

President of the Student Council, presented the crowns to their majesties. By the time the football game got under way, everyone was tense. All eyes were drawn to Larrie Dunkirk’s originally decorated coupe. It advertised Vocational's slogan for the day: Scrub the Tommies.' Although we were on the receiving end of the scrubbing, our high spirits did not decline. A record crowd attended our Homecoming Dance—the climax of a perfect day.

SENIOR BANQUET A scene this year's class will long remember is the Senior Stargazers' Banquet held at the beautiful Calhoun Beach Club. Delicious food, mellow music and gay spirits were just the ingredients needed to make the evening of February I I a wonderful success. The welcoming speeches by Mr. Nord. Miss Thomson, and our class president. Bill Thurner. were greeted by enthusiastic applause. After a dinner fit for royalty, the dreamy music of Jerry Mulaney's Orchestra floated through the room as the feet of happy dancers whirled over the ballroom floor. When the 1953 class of Vocational High School begins to gray at the temples and creak in the bones, one perfect memory will always remain— the wonderful banquet and dance in their unforgettable senior year.
