9ndLiAJsUcd Drafting attempts to teach students the fundamentals of machine and architectural draw- ing. It consists of the drawing of simple objects and their cross sections. In machine drawing, the blue-printing of machine parts is taught, and in architectural drawing the art of designing and drawing houses and buildings. Janet Raier listens to Mr. Sims as he shows her some drafting technique- while Hubert Hughes. Edward Crahtree. and Charles Scott look on. Machine drawing is a study of one of the most important branches of drafting. It is a re- quirement in almost every phase of industry. This course supplements the work of machine shop, general metal shop, and pattern making. For those who intend to use drafting outside of school, this subject is desirable. It gives the student the knowledge and ap- preciation of the importance of machine drawing in present day industry. Mr. Tippett inspects Ray Woodman's and Ron Allen’s work in machine drawing. Allen Ingalls and Robert Hanaki are in the second row and Larry Honner in the last row. Shop math teaches the type of mathematics which is used in drafting, machine drawing, arch- itectural drawing, machine shop, and wood shop. This class is not required for any special job later on, but is advisable to take be- cause it is a combination of all kinds of math needed in building trades and is a basis of geomet- ric design. Special instruction concerning this tangent is given to Ronald Niles, Jim Kuzma, and Charles Watkins by Mr. Rasmovich in shop math class. 20
