u , . . T administration The dream expands — Vocational High School, this year celebrating the fortieth anniversary of its founding, late in spring began listening to the ear-shattering sounds of drill and hammer, and by-passing its usual routes to lunchroom and barber shop. This new activity seems to underline and emphasize the activity which has always been present—the activity of thousands of students pursuing their private dreams. Located as it is in the heart of our mid-town area. Vocational seems to pulsate with the varied life and purpose of 1,500 high school students. 250 veterans, and 3.500 adult evening school students. In serving the many needs and dreams of these groups, our administration continually keeps two objectives in mind, as stated by Mr. Nord, our Principal: 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. In their long and patient effort to achieve these fine objectives, Mr. Nord and his assistants have shown kindness, tolerance, and firmness, and have thereby gained the respect of the student body. It is from such roots that a real school spirit' grows.
