VOCAnONAL ARTSTRAfM STUDENTS FOR WnJRBJGBQ Essential to the artist ' s handiwork are the tools with which he works. These tools, if not provided directly from our vocational arts department, have their beginnings and frame- work there. Carpentry skills provide interest- ing and enjoyable hobbies along with the valuable training it provides our future car- penters. The artist skills are deeply evident in ar- chitecture. Students learning the various skills of mechanical drawing here at South Houston set the stage for tomorrow ' s growing de- mand for architects. Agriculture is the stem of life. The study of it produces new, improved methods for bettering the quality of livestock and crops. Here students prepare themselves for the chal- lenges of the clamoring world. There is no end to the need for new and better methods for producing food and other essentials for the entire world. In this way students of ag- riculture at South Houston are able to add their part to our present day civilization. James H. Fritsch, a graduate of Sam Houston State College with a B.S. degree, teaches mechanical draw- ing and sponsors the Boys ' Tennis Club. 337
