Tnl luuu. . . The shop has probably been more directly affected bythe demands of the war than any other part of the school. An after school course in machine shop technique was begun last year and because the need for apprentice mechanics isgrowing, it has been continued with increasing vigor this year. ln the afternoon it is open to girls and boys, sixteen years or older, at night, to adults. After the completion of this 200 hour course, thestudent iseligible for placement in the machine shops of almost anywar plant. The course covers blue-print reading and lay- out workg the making of apart from a blue print: uselofmachines, such as the lathe, shapers, grinder, mil- lers, and precision instruments, and assembly of the parts made. A few students who are farther advanc- ed learn to weld. Over fifty junior trainees com- plete the course in a full school year, according to Mr. J. Howard Cooper,industrial arts instructor. Their status after they finish depends upon thedemand for workers at that time, he continued. Related work,such asmachine-shop math, blueprint reading, layout work and use of precision instru- ments, issupervised by Miss Louise Sanger,who heads the art department during regular school hours. Mr. Leon G. Pancoast, a graduate engineer, isan instructor from the National Defense Training Board, and is not a member of the regular faculty.
