Vocational School Webster defines a vocational school as one in which students are prepared for the technical arts and crafts. The boys attending our vocational department have their choice of one ofthe following trades: drafting, pattern making, and machine shop practice. Along with their trades they are taught such related subjects as shop mathematics, shop theory, science, and geometry. English, civics, and economics are the classical subjects included in the course. The instructors are all men who have had years of practical experience. Following the guidance of our capable instruc- tors, the student has every opportunity to learn more in less time than if trained in some shop or factory. During the three year course, the instructors attempt to impress upon the minds ofthe pupils the importance of safety in the shop and elsewhere. The boys of trade school also get much practical experience, such as doing repair work, making cabinets, planning new fire alarm systems, designing, together with many other projects for the school and commercial trade. The graduating class of this year is the first class to have started the regular course in the new building. It is also the largest class that has graduated since the Vocational School was founded. Activities other than the regular course are: a Hi-Y Club, sponsored by Mr. Anderson, two basketball teams-a freshmen team and a varsity team sponsored and coached by Mr. Black, and a group interested in aviation organized as the Silver Hawks Flight of the Junior Birdmen Club, sponsored by Mr. Warner. Vocational education has gone far toward increasing the supply of skilled and semi-skilled labor. It enables the children of the laboring class of today to become skilled craftsman.
