Industrial Arts: Preparation for the Tides of Industry As long as new machinery is made, the Industrial Arts Department will be in a state of change. New techniques and new machinery have opened up many new kinds of jobs, and demands for new mechanical skills require a change in Mont Pleasant's industrial curriculum. These have been accomplished by the addition of another auto shop and several other new types of equipment for the student's use. Since there are fewer jobs available for unskilled workers, Mont Pleasant is try- ing to make sure that all students leaving our school have some sort of skill. The change from woodworking to the auto shop was brought about by a com- presensive study made by the citizens vocational council of the Board of Educa- tion. The need for skilled mechanics and automotive technicians were discovered by the council to be in great demand in the Schenectady area. Thus Mont Pleas- ant leads the way in meeting the needs of the community. Mr. Chari » Henry Mr. Samuel Hamilton Mr. E. Hudson watches Albert DiNocola adjust a small engine. MR.
