Radio Super Station S.S.S. - Mechanical Drawing Department Ifor the next period you will be entertained by the Mechanical Drawing department and its Mechanical Drawers. This department is well known in Station S.S.S., for it broadcasts frequently. Miss Batchelder is the originator of the Mechanical Drawers. She has made a department of Mechanical Drawing that every boy should like. Boys take this subject to become architects, surveyors, etc. During the last semester a change has been made in the courses of Mechanical Drawing. Instead of -the ten weeks' course being in the B7 it is now in the A8. To choose this study now means good money in the future and the choice of many occupations when you choose a profession. This work teaches one to be accurate, neat in one's work, and in the ways of a draftsman. It was from this class that the Architectural Club originated, for nearly all the boys that take Mechanical Drawing joined this club. These two classes are really a credit to Sentous. There is no substitute for Mechanical Drawing. Radio Station S.S.S.- The Voice of Education Owned anzd Operated by Sentous Jzmior High School, Inc. Radio Super Station S.S.S. The Sheet Metal Shop In passing by room 111 at almost any time of the day, you would be alarmed, perhaps, to hear the banging sounds that come from so many hammersg the noisy sound of shaking tin and the like. No, room 111 is not a Ford factory, but the Sentous Sheet Metal Shop. There boys learn, under the eificient direction of Mr. Shaffer, how to make useful utensils out of sheet metal. Things that cut tin quite well can also cut fingers quite well, so safety is a motto that is well practiced in Mr. Shaffer's room. Mr. Shaffer teaches his boys, from the A7 to the A9, how to treat tin. Mix Shaffer's a merry old soul, and a merry old soul is he. So you see the boys get along quite well with Mr. Shaffer. There is no substitute for Sheet Metal. Radio Station S.S.S.- The Voice of Education Uurlned and Operated by Sentous Junior High School, Inc. Radio Super Station S.S.S. - The Electric Shop ' The Electric Shop is being very successful this year. The boys are learning, and enjoy it very much. The course of electricity in our school gives us a very good knowledge of electricity and wiring. The boys learn to wire a telegraph circuit, to wire up and run a small electric motor, to make an electromagnet, making an extension cord for an electric lamp, to replace and refill a burned out fuse plug. There are a great many more things the boys learn to make. ' v Great credit is due Mr. Shaffer, for he is the one who is responsi- ble for the boys learning so many things. There is no substitute for the Electric Shop. Delmar Wible at the microphone. THERE IS N0 SUBSTITUTE FOR SCHOOL SPIRIT

We will have at this time Mr. Ray gickey tell you about the Wood Shop, through the courtesy of Miss arris. The boys' wood shop is having a fine time making boats and tables and all other good and useful things. The B7's made yachts and the Yacht Club has gone out to West- lake Park many times and tried out their yachts. In club time they learn to make a bowline knot and other interesting knots. Each A7 is making a weaving tray and inside of it is glass, and under the glass is'a very pretty design. They are also making sewing boxes and vases. The A8's are making lovely big woven tables. I'm sure all the boys like wood shop. There is no substitute for Wood Shop. Radio Station S.S.S.- The Voice of E'clucation Owned and Operated by Sentous Junior High School, Inc. Radio Super Station S.S.S. The Print Shop This is Radio Station S.S.S., Los Angeles. We will announce to you the Printing department through the courtesy of Mr. Cartwright, the teacher. Edward French will announce the program. Hello, Sentousites! I don't suppose you have heard much about the Print Shop this term, but just the same we are doing just fine in every way, and I'll tell you the Print Shop sure,is important, for if the boys who took printing didn't set type and Dell Lee didn't run the Comet press, you Sentousites would be in a fine mess, but none of that will ever happen, I suppose. Mr. Cartwright has quite a few new boys this term and they are all doing some fine work. The boys who have had printing more than two terms usually get to run the press, and all the boys surely aim to run it some time. Most of the boys learn to correct galleys, and one of the dirty jobs is to wash the presses. Sometimes when a new boy comes in to take printing one of the older scholars shows the boys some type lice, and, boy, they surely get a kick out of it. The Comet press which they always used to print the Comet was broken last term, and they had to use the next largest, but it was finally fixed again and everything is O. K. Around the end of the term the Print Shop is surely upside down with so much to do. The boys setting type, the presses running lickety split, and the girls folding' the Comet ready for you Sentousites to read. I thank you. This is Radio Station S.S.S. now signing the Printing department oil: the air.
