Since its natives harvested Indian Corn to today's self propelled combines, Oklahoma farmers have rapidly adjusted to the demands and trends of an ever advanced era. Today A and M Tech is maintaining farming courses that are designed to adjust to advances and improvements as they appear. Since the division's inception in 1947 many improvements have been made. Only skills and information of practical nature can justify a place in a farming student's curriculum. Students completing training in any of the courses offered are qualified to operate or manage agricultural enterprises and the job opportunities are numerous in any of these fields. In agriculture as in any other highly specialized business, the success of an operation depends upon the man or men who manage it. It is the object of Tech's Agricultural Division to train men; men who are keenly aware of the responsibility and challenge that is theirs. The Division of Agriculture was established with one purpose: to make better and wiser farmers of tomorrow. The Tech Agricultural Division is divided into six departments consisting of General Farming, Dairy Management, Greenhouse Management, Nursery, Poultry Production and Machinery. The Tech students are taught a well-balanced farming program with special emphasis on the practical phases of agriculture. They are trained to be proficient farmers rather than specialists. IT Kit A.

King Instructor Jess Cox Instructor in Argiculture Dale May Idabel, Oklahoma Jesse Tapp Enid, Oklahoma George Young Honolulu, T. H. Bruce Manuel Sao Paulo, Brazil Howard McIntyre Muskogee, Oklahoma Robert Rowland Cushing, Oklahoma FARM MACHINERY Farming no longer means 40 acres and a mule. Today's farmer needs a large assortment of mcahinery to produce more crops with fewer man hours. With this increase of machinery on the farm comes the demand for skilled mechanics. The Farm Machinery and Tractor Repair Course has been organized to train skilled mechanics to meet this dem'and. The repairman trainee does minor and major overhauls on tractors and farm machinery, help maintain all farm equipment used and does service work as needed in the field during harvest time. Farm Machinery C. A. Mitchell Instructor Henry L. Armstrong Musaab A. M. El-Jareh Bob Lee Steinley Beaver, Oklahoma Bagdad, Iraq Gate, Oklahoma COMMERCE COMMERCIAL ART The two courses offered in the commercial art department give the student an opportunity to select a one-year program, or a two-year program. The one-year course derives training in the basic techniques of screen process printing. The two year, or six semester, course includes some screen process work but emphasizes art for reproduction by several printing methods available. The student builds from basic principles to assignments that require knowledge of various art techniques and reproduction methods used in printing advertising material. The Poster Art and Screen Process course includes production assignments making use of both handcut and photographic stencils. Printing is done on various surfaces including paper, material, wood, textile, and glass. One special project completed by all special students while enrolled in this course is the development of the design and the printing of Christmas cards for their own use. Peter D.

Wilson Bristow, Oklahoma RETAILING Retailing ir Retailing is the one industry in every community. There is now a greater need for training to enter the retail field than ever before. Retailing is vocational in nature, revolving around a group of skills, abilities, knowledges, understandings, appreciations, and judgments that are integrated with such subjects as retail selling, principles of retailing, store operations and management, advertising, merchandise knowledge, and allied subjects. The primary objective of Retailing is to train individuals to participate more efficiently in the distribution of goods and service. Theodore Carter Kansas City, Missouri Henry A. Factor Maud, Okla.

SWITCHBOARD Bessie Tillery PBX Instructor This division has included PBX Switchboard Operation in its training program. The PBX switchboard is the nerve center of many large business concerns. The course is designed to give thorough training in various phases of switchboard operation. The trainee is required to spend three hours per day operating the switchboard with a competent supervisor. Switchboard operation affords the new employee an unusual opportunity to get acquainted with the personnel of a business organization. One distinct advantage of the switchboard operation course is that it can be completed in only eight weeks. Violet Lancaster Leonida Lindsey Okmulgee, Okla. Okmulgee, Okla. Birtha Hensley Hugo, Okla.

Evans Supervisory of Carpentry Department Carpentry Norman Beaulieu Carpentry-Maintenance Employee The Department of Wood Construction offers the student basic instruction in both carpentry and cabinet making. With the advice from the state advisory committee this training program has been developed to meet the requirements of the industry. Carpentry students learn how to draw and read blueprints of buildings and from these blueprints they are to constuct a building from the foundation to the finished dwelling. The campus buildings are maintained exclusively by the carpentry students varying from minor repair to major constuction. The shop is equipped with the various machines used in wood work from table saws to hand tools so as to familiarize the student with the machines which they will be expected to operate and maintain when they are in the field of carpentry construction.

This industry covers all types of wood products manufactured and is one of the largest industries of the nation. Home Furniture producers manufactured in 1954 $1,800,000,000 worth of goods. Also the special mill work and sash and door manufacturers had a tremendous volume of business and are looking forward to even greater production in 1958. The course is designed to place men in this ever expanding family of industries. Machines operation and maintenance, assembly, finishing, detailing, and billing are all taught to give the best training possible, for entering these fields. Students spend four hours per day in shop work and two hours per day in related subjects that are especially suited for the woodworking industry.

Van Curon Department Head Betty Soden Tuckerman, Arkansas Antonio Cardenoz Artesia, New Mexico FURNITURE UPHOLSTERY Furniture upholstering is indeed an art in itself. Being able to take worn out furniture, refinish and upholster it, is practically a feat of magic. Here in the furniture upholstery department at A. M. Tech the student is given individual instruction in the many different phases of the trade. A few of the major steps in upholstering are: repair of frames and woodwork, staining and finishing of woodwork, placing and tying of springs, measuring and cutting material, properly padding the project and sewing of various pieces. The student is given a thorough training in the proper use and care of the sewing machine. A knowledge of fabrics, colors, and design is acquired to obtain a pleasing job. All types of furniture are repaired, training the student in all types of upholstery. An artistic mind, neatness, and accuracy are tremendous assets in becoming a good upholsterer.

Tech has one distinct advantage over most laundrymen. The course presents the principles of modern washroom methods in such a way that it will have the greatest possible practical value in controlling washroom procedure and in solving problems as they arise. The student is taught the various soap formulas, proper alkali consumption, results of overloading and underloading, proper extracting time, and many other washroom factors. Another important phase of the student's training is classification and marking. A thorough knowledge of fabrics and dyes is of utmost importance to the prospective laundryman. The student is given instruction in the various types of press units and the proper operation of them. This department features one of the most modern laundry plants in this locality. The final phase of training is the care and maintenance of the equipment. Laundry Harry R. West Manager of Laundry J. M. Brittain Washman E.E. Howell Truck Drver Marjorie L.

The plant is not only the most modernly equipped but also a model plant lay out. The shop consists of five departments; dry cleaning room, spotting and wet-cleaning, wool finishing and silk finishing. Students are taught to prespot, and classify garments in the cleaning room. In spotting and wet-cleaning the student is taught to identify and remove stains and the use of chemicals. Wool finishing is restoring the garment to its original appearance. Silk finishing is an art. It requires knowledge of fabrics and various types of equipment. The hat department is a trade in itself. The shop motto is Quality First . Dry Cleaning H. B.

Reed Chandler, Oklahoma Pawnee, Oklahoma Myron D. Echo Hawk T. J. Lamirand Shawnee, Oklahoma WATCH REPAIR The modern watch repairman deals with complex, minute machinery. His ability to repair and service time-keeping instruments requires an intensive course of study. The course is especially suited for individuals who desire to own and operate a business. Likewise, it is a trade for those who wish to work for a large concern. A highly creative type of training, with perhaps more attention to detail and precision work, is offered in the course of Jewelry Repair. This course is planned to develop initiative and creative ability of the student. Practical experiences in production develop the.necessary skills demanded by industry. Watch repair tests given by an independent organization in the horologi-cal field may be taken at the completion of the Watch Repair course. These certificates are recognized nation wide, and they are independent of the certificate issued by A. M. Tech, Okmulgee. Raymond D. Semple Instructor Jerry G. Goforth Homestead, Oklahoma Paul D.

Today's trend in the industry is toward fewer but larger shops with modern fronts, comparable to other surrounding businesses. Good shoe repair requires more knowledge and skill than most people realize. With the introduction of modern equipment the repairman has become more or less an expert machine operator. This enables him to do more and belter work. One must be able to produce good workmanship, coupled with fair amount of speed. The progressive shop owner is rapidly becoming a merchandiser of all kinds of leather goods, shoe care needs as well as offering a wide range of services. One may enter his own business without too great an outlay of capital, or he may become employed in one of the many larger shops. Every sizeable community needs its shoe service shop.

Tech are acquainted with related subjects. Certain subjects were included by the director of the school when the curriculum of the school was first set up because they are part of the Going Farther setup that the school offers its students. On the recommendation of industry, additional courses have been presented until they now include human relations, business practices, oral communication, different phases of English, mathematics, chemistry, fabrics, blue print reading, and welding and precision measurements. There are nineteen instructors in the department under the direction of the co-ordinator of instruction Grady W. Clack. Most students enroll in two hours of related subjects. Going Farther may be just the thing that leads to promotions on the job, money in your pocket, accuracy in your work, and pride in your accomplishment. G. W. CLACK £ £ Andress C. E.

Tech the Rehabilitation Center is unique since it offers not only vocational but physical rehabilitation as well. Physical restoration training is under the guidance of a physiatrist. Medical recommendations are carried out primarily by a physical therapy department consisting of four registered physical therapists, an occupational therapy department with a registered occupational therapist in charge, and an activities of daily living department under the guidance of a registered nurse with special training in this field. Courses suited to the qualifications and capabilities of the individual are available under the guidance of a vocational counselor. Those who desire such courses find the classrooms easily accessible by wheelchair or crutches. Relaxation and avocational pursuits are found in the Rehab Club and Recreational Shop. Twenty one religious, civic, and fraternal organizations of Okmulgee cooperate in presenting weekly programs for the Rehab Club members. The occupational therapist and his assistant conduct recreational shop classes each Saturday morning. Immediate medical attention is available to students, families and personnel on the campus in the Infirmary where two registered nurses and a doctor are on duty. The integration of the excellent services and the availability of both physical and vocational opportunities is of great interest and value to the people of Oklahoma as well as many other states.

More than 7,000 volumes, ranging from technical reference books used in the training programs to children's reading material for use of campus youngsters, are found on the library shelves. In addition to these, approximately 200 periodicals are received monthly for use. Library personel make every effort to provide an atmosphere of friendly relaxation and guidance.

Tech is not set up as a major field or trade as it might be in academic institutions, but is used to make life more enjoyable while the student is preparing for a career in his chosen trade at A M Tech. Using this system no boy is brought to Tech just because he is a good athlete, yet we are fortunate in the number of good athletes that come first to Tech for a trade and secondly for athletics. This has provided us with the finest type of young men that one could have the priviledge of working with. BASEBALL Sports BASKETBALL: A. M. Tech started off its 56-57 season rather slow and seemed to be on the short end of the score after each game, winning only two ball games before Christmas holidays. Following a brief period of work, the last half of the season was very gratifying with Tech winning 10 of the last 14 games to end the season with a 12-13 win, loss record.
