Coleman Chauncey, Lawrence J. Lipp, John J. L. Gross, Helen F. Walgran, William Youlton, Harold Bostwlck The coordinators gave us the first glimpse of the school we now call our U Alma Mater. They came to our Junior l High Schools and told us of the many opportunities that Dobbins, as a Voca- tional-Technical School, could offer. We listened attentively to what they said, because we knew that we would have to make our way in the world upon graduation. We took their advice and selected Dobbins as our High School. While we were here at Dobbins, the coordinators continued their services by keeping us in closer contact with both the school and the community. They super- vised the purchase and use of trade equipment and supplies that we, as Dobbins students, used. They checked carefully to see that we met the standards for grad- uation. They gave us advice concerning our choice of trades. When we were about to graduate, they studied the requirements of employment in the community, and the qualifications of the employer. Then they helped to place us in industry. The graduating classes of June 1956, and January 1957, have experienced much help from the coordinators, and want to express their gratitude for those helpful years spent at a wonderful school. Without our coordinators, we would not have been able to derive the utmost from our education here at Dobbins, and might not have been ready to take our places as useful, productive citizens.
