Seniors Joe Castillo and Ruben Gonzalez make blow pipes for the Edison dust col- lector System. Metal workers Joe Flores and Manuel De La Cruz work on racks for drawing boards to be used in other shops.

Under the instruction of Mr. Lindsey, these young men acquire an understanding of metals, of layouts and blueprints. They help supply Tech's extra needs. They make our awnings, water buckets, and trash cans. Expert craftsmanship, desirable work habits, and accurate measurements are a must for the student.
