These members of the faculty are less heard of than any other group of faculty members. Many students have never heard of several of these illustrious gentlemen of learning. They could be called, in a literal sense, “keys to the defense of their country.” Mr. Preston left in the middle of the school year to join the ranks of the Army Engineering Corps. Mr. Weizenberger and Mr. Healy Ever wondered, —“Aw, why take drafting, printing, or automotives? It’s no fun!” Well, let’s explore into all of the benefits which were offered in the vocational department of Pontiac High School. The course in printing gave a valuable back¬ ground in hand composition, layout, pattern, and cylinder press work. Those who were lucky enough to know that they would like to become mechanical workers, were probably interested in the machine shop classes offered. These courses prepared them for future apprenticeship in the die making and ma¬ chinist’s trade, and other similar positions. Did I hear you say that you’re interested in the layout, cutting, assembling, and installation of sheet metal work? Well, all this and more was included in the course known as sheet metal work. From enrollment in this class, you could be ap¬ have been added to the Vocational Department teaching staff. The pictured vocations faculty, left to right are: Mr. Bacon, Mr. Clark, Mr. Graff, Mr. Harboldt, Mr. Healy, Mr. Otto, Mr. Shara, Mr. Sibley, Mr. Smith, Mr. Snavely, Mr. Trimpe, Mr. Vezzani, Mr. Weisenberger, and Mr. Wignall. prenticed into the heating, ventilation, aircraft welding, or auto body fabrication. The drawing-up of plans, ideas or information used in the construction of autos, buildings, etc., were stressed and devoured by those of you who were interested in the course of drafting. This course led to apprenticeships in machine and build¬ ing trades. Pattern making taught a method of making wood patterns so that metal casts could be made from them. Training for an automobile mechanic requires more knowledge than the average student realizes, as was brought out in the automotives course offered to those interested. Because of the present crisis, and the growing interest in flying, a course in aircraft mechanics was included in the vocational program. The main¬ tenance, construction, and repair of engines and Under the Music Department, came many subheadings. Band, Orchestra, Ensembles, Choir, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, Triple Trio, Quartet, and the vocal classes— all were included in this most melodious of all the de¬ partments in P.H.S. Each of these organizations ran in a harmonious, business-like manner under the supervision of their in¬ dividual faculty supervisor and also with the aid of elected student supervisors under the vise of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. Mr. Harris directed the MS.C. Band while their di¬ rector was absent, and Mr. Opland, took care of many of the duties performed by Mr. Harris during his ab¬ sence.
