The Trade and lndustrial Arts Division pro' gram has taught us skills so we may he-come sell'-supporting. The whole division is planned for successful growth in the trades. In our freshman year we took general shop. which gave us 21 foundation for the advanced shop work. In this course we learned the use of various tools and the simple rudiments of me- chanical drawing. The next years course in- cluded the use of machine tools in machine shop. ln our junior year, we rebuilt cars and repaired engines in auto mechanics. For those of us who desired to go right on to a job from our shop courses, we enrolled in carpentry, millworlc, and welding. In these courses we did projects for the community and school. lcl x li luxiiwlll iil ig, :1:iitul'u1't ltlvxx Xl ' ' g , i J, ,fi I- i , , i'. ,Xrtliur l,.
