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

9 wltuAtluU With Northern's new and modern auto-shop, headed by Mr. Zeilinger, a day-trade is offered for the first time in Flint. The latest equipment has been obtained and junior and senior high school boys arc eligible for these three hour sessions. The course runs two full years and on its completion the boys are ready to become appren- tice mechanics. Both the Automobile Dealers Association and the Automobile Maintenance Association work with the school in promoting these apprentice- ships. Also a new course called the jalopy class was added last February and is available for all boys who own cars and want to repair them under supervision. The class meets from 3:30 to 6:30 on Thursdays for a ten week period. Enjoying the new auto-shop is a group of stud- ents shown on page six and seven working on cars that are handled by different factories and garages. I hey are Leo Cook, Bill Bulliner, Roland Mills, Gordon Urbeck, Mr. Zeilinger, Bruce Mc- I incha and Jerry Skinner. In the front row Leo Woloszyn is working on a metal shop project. Art Kdmonds.

JlciMXjMCUfe The Language Department, which is headed by Miss Dillon, tries to instill in the students an appreciation of foreign people and culture. French and Latin arc the two languages which are offered in our present curriculum. French is a two year course, giving the student a basic understanding of its usage and teaching him to read, write, and speak the language. Every year in the spring, the American Asso- ciation of French Teachers sponsors a national French test. One student from our first year and one from second year French classes are chosen to compete with other schools in the state. State winners contend with other state winners in the national finals. The national winner is the recip- ient of a scholarship. Miss Macklem gives her advanced French students, Douglas Wright, Barbara Black, and Marcia Jackson, an idea of French atmosphere from pictures of Paris which are part of her collection. I atin which is the mother language of the world is taught in a three year course. In Latin I and II the students receive the grammar necessary for further study. Emphasis is on translations of Caesar’s excellent military strategy and phases of Homan histon- in Latin III and IV7. Third year Latin includes selections from Cicero and Latin poetry. The students who want to create a deeper interest in Latin belong to the Latin Club. Many vocations require knowlcgc of the Latin language which still maintains a place in the English language. Our modern life deals with many of the Roman laws and customs. Although some speak of it as a dead language, it still lives in our modern languages and is useful in education. Latin students, Robert Klee, Judy Lewis. Barbara Singleton. Barbara Korth, and Larry Aremia refresh their memories while Mrs. Benoit points out various parts of the Roman Kmpirc. I can’t live with women but I can’t live without them,” is the motto on the poster at the bottom of the picture. 21
