SONG OF This is the song of the Men who master Motor, dyanamo, fuse, and switch, Who lift our Ilfe to a pace that's faster, Who move the world--by a finger twitch. Men in office and laboratory, Men who work with the thunderbolts, Who outmatch even Aladdin's story With a magic lamp--of a million voltsl Berton Braley

Gerard Kurz and produced with the assistance of other members of the Commercial Art class, under the direction of Mr. Karpel. The design has been done in a contempoqautechnidue, symbolizing our school's modern and progressive curriculum. Each object represents a course taught in one of the various divisions of our school. Due to the wide variety of subjects, not all could be illustrated, so a few representative symbols were selected, such as, atypewriter ribbon and keys for commercial supiects, a gear to signify the relationship of school to industry, and the hand to symbolize craftsmanship.
