The North Dakota State School of Science has three closely interacting departments: trade school, business college and junior college. Because of the vocational nature of the work offered, the trade school and business school have statewide appeal. The junior college, insofar as its courses are closely related to the other two departments, also draws from a wide territory. Registration in the arts department of the college is mainly local. Credits from the junior college are accepted by colleges and universities throughout the United States. Housing for students is solved quite easily: There are four large barracks for married students; many house trailers, also for married students; three barracks for single veterans; Burch Hall houses many male students while Center and West Cottage house the girls. Many students stay in private homes. A number of activities are organized for students interested in extra-curricular work. Many of the members of trades courses have their own clubs as do commercial and arts students. The Hub is the center of activity, offering a snack bar, club room for dancing and parties of smaller groups, and the book store. The all-school parties are held in the gym. Formals are held several times yearly including the Sacajawea Formal. Sports activities include basketball, football, boxing, track and bowling, in which a large number of students participate. Yes, Science rates high in extra curricular activities and as its enrollment increases, so will its activities and its educational departments.
