Pictorial Section Che Acjautasi'e SECTION NO. 1 WAHPETON. N. D. 1950 The Campus The North Dakota State School of Science, a school of vocational-technical education, as seen in this aerial view is located in Wahpcton, a city of 5,000 at the head of the Red River of the North and at the gateway to the world-famed Red River Valley. Beginning actual operation in 1003, Wahpoton Science, as the school is familiarly known, is nearly 50 years old and now is made up of three interacting departments: trade school, business school and junior college. The junior college is the second oldest public junior college in the United States and the first not operated in conjunction with a high school. The business school began operation in 1905. The trades school, founded in 1921, has become one of the best and most widely known schools of its type in the United States. Starting in the lower left-hand corner of the pic- tures and following the campus oval clockwise you see the cottages, girls' living quarters; Burch Hall, men’s dorm; Chemistry building: Old Main; Trades Annex and hangar: Main Trades building; Old Trades building: Campus Hub; Gymnasium; the Barracks, and the tennis courts. In the upper right-hand corner can be seen a portion of the trailer camp. The campus airport and athletic field are at the extreme top of the picture. The school has become famous throughout the United States for the success it has achieved in training young men and women to fill the needs of employers and communitcs in its own area. Its training programs have been developed with just one aim in mind: to provide the skilled technicians necessary for trade, business and industry in North Dakota. All training is based on the school’s slogan. ’’Where Students Learn By Doing” and textbooks take a back seat to shop and laboratory, work on jobs typical of those in which students will find employment.

PAGE 2 Winter Or Summer . . . Visioned through beautiful snow-covered shuhbery. Ok! Main, which was erected in 1801 as part of Red River Valley University, predecessor of Wahpcton Science, stands at the center of the campus. Although it retains its beloved exterior. the interior is undergoing a $65,000 modernization now nearing completion. This four-story building houses tin- school business offices, the junior college and the business school. Summer, too. brings beauty to the campus as the many beautiful trees take on their full plumage. In the contrasting summer view is the modern Trades building, located directly east of Old Main tit can be seen protruding beyond Old Main in the upper picture.) Many trades departments, in which students learn by doing,” are found inside this building constructed in 1028 and enlarged in 1928. These two buildings are the center of educational activity on campus. Their shops and classrooms arc busy from morning to night with the training activities that really are the State School of Science and thus through the years, these two buildings have come to be recognized as symbols of the school.
