F0 THE FUTURE BECAUSE VIRTUALLY 80 per cent of the students are unable to attend college and therefore need all the vocational training pos- sible, the administration has taken special steps in aiding the industrial arts departmenfs natural growth. The last four years have brought seven new rooms, an electrical shop, a blue print ma- chine, a high speed press, and numerous tools in the auto, Woodwork, and home mechanics shops. The latest improvement was the construction last fall of the machine and Woodwork shop in the inner court. Wondw what makes those fel- lows so happy at their jobs. Maybe the clock is pointing towards the period's end, or maybe that bright over-head light was designed to take eye- strain away and put szniles in its place. Or do you suppose they really like printing? Quiet, pul-leeze! The press is rollinif One more of the many mechanical devices goes into action to give this stu- dent an opportunity to learn his trade. Shocking, isn't it, the way Mr. Foster not only allows, but encourages these volts-and- watts-minded individuals to tinker with switches, push buttons, and plugs? Electri- cally speaking, of course.

Superintendent E. R. Sifert, however, has had his eye on this work ever since he came to Proviso. With the cooperation of C. H. Bergstrom, department chairman, he has raised immeasur- ably the industrial arts facilities and educational standards. The rapid growth of the enrollment has been paralleled by an increase in both faculty and floor space, so that today the department trains some 1600 future printers, mechanics, electricians, and woodworkers. The latest improvement is the impending establishment of a new machine shop. 28 Above, Mr. Bcrgxfronz decides fbaf fbix frllozv is u wood- Cuffer of no nzeun degree.
