Shakour Co: Skvirsky Insurance Agency Crade High School Trade High School courses are designed to provide education on both high school and post-high school levels with specialized training for employment in the highly skilled and technical fields. These courses add but one feature to the educational pattern of the traditional high school; namely, training for a specific trade to equip students leaving high school with salable skills in order that they may enter industry under the most favorable conditions. The curriculum aims to supply knowledge and training that will contribute to a satisfying and useful life. Through proper guidance, an effort is made to discover and use rather than by-pass the natural incentives of the individual’s interests and aptitudes. Em- phasis is not alone on competency in preparation for a job. Personal develop- ment comes first in the form of education for character building and good citizenship. Students are eligible for admission after they have successfully completed the eighth grade, and are allowed to graduate upon successful completion of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Students are required to take the following subjects: English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Health Education, Music. A selection of a trade may be made with the advice and assistance of the Guidance Department. ; Every student is encouraged to complete the requirements for a high school diploma. An individual who cannot meet the high school English and mathe- matics requirements may earn a Trade School diploma if he can demonstrate proficiency in his shop or labratory work. A cooperative (work-study) course is offered to meet the needs of students who, for economic reasons, cannot continue the regular full-time program. Students in this program are required to attend school one-half time for their academic and related studies and spend the other one-half time in paid employment. College preparatory courses are not included in the curriculum; however, students with exceptional ability have continued on to college after graduation. Extra-curricular activities, such as sports, drama, art, glee club, and social affairs have the same values as in other high school programs. A balanced correlation of cultural studies, and those studies related directly to the chosen trade, together with health instruction, and extra-curricular oppor- tunities, is the baasis upon which the Trade High School program is built. advisory committees The purpose of the advisory committees is to help the students, who are prospective workers, to be informed of up-to-date requirements in each trade. This is accomplished by the assistance of these committees, in advising depart- ment heads of new trends, procedures and trade requirements. Each com- mittee is composed of representatives of local business, trades, and industries. The State Department of Vocational Education requires that a committee be appointed for each trade. Close cooperation between school and industry is aided by holding special conferences and meetings of these committees. Auto Body and Auto Mechanics Departments Mr. Arthur E. Center Owner, A. E.

These boys won first and third honorable mention certifi- cates and awards for their accomplishments in cabinet making. Each year sees an improvement in the fine quality of furniture turned out in this shop. Speakers’ stands, tables, bookshelves and numerous other articles all bear the stamp of excellent workmanship. Good design is stressed through the study of historic furniture styles. Many reproductions of Colonial pine furniture were made this year. Every boy must also learn the art of applying the correct finish to his com- pleted articles. One-half of the school year is spent under the direction of Mr. Carl fonucont WiierictaldeSharwvood Mr. Carl Johnson, so that this procedure may be learned. In addition to apply- Shop Instructor in Shop Instructor ing finishes to new pieces, the art of restoring and refinishing antique furniture Wood Finishing is an important part of this course. Several manufacturers make awards of tools each year, to the most proficient student. These tools are of value and provide an added incentive to mastering the art of making fine furniture. The employment prospects are excellent. Last year, every senior was placed in a job and many juniors were allowed to begin part-time employment. They thereby helped fill the great need for workers in this field.

The first step toward the forming of a metal casting is the making of a wood pattern. From this positive pattern a negative sand mold is then made, and finally molten metal is poured into this sand mold, thus producing a casting. After being machined to precise dimensions, the metal piece is ready for use. Cooperation with other city departments as well as other vocational schools results in savings to the taxpayer. The precise work demanded from this trade means that a boy must cultivate a high degree of skill and craftsmanship. This is an interesting field of work for a diligent and careful worker. Pattern makers are among those receiving the highest salaries of skilled workers. Albert Gagnon displays some of the pat- terns made in this department this year. —— 3 Erik Wengstrom th 4ae bei Machine After thoroughly learning this basic trade, a student possesses fundamental knowledge which is the basis of our modern manufacturing processes. The field of employment is, therefore, unlimited. Students are taught to use the tools of their trade intelligently, that is, to think clearly and understand the job from start to finish. All the machines customarily found in a machine shop are part of the equipment of this department, and their operation must be mastered. An active shop safety program keeps students aware of the potential danger which results from carelessness or misuse of machines and tools. Since this Mr. John Thomas Mr. Paul Phillips industry demands perfection, this same high standard of achievement is ex- Shop Instructor Shop Instructor pected of all students in producing work. The use of precision instruments as : well as mathematics, science and drawing constitutes the related work required of all students.

On completing the three years’ intensive work, a student is qualified as a junior draftsman. First year students study the basic fundamentals of drafting and progress to making assembly and detail drawings in his third year. Much practical work is done by cooperating with other departments in the school. All drafting students are required to spend a portion of their last year in both the machine and pattern departments. This provides the necessary experience of learning to operate various kinds of machines. Another course requirement is the keeping of a comprehensive notebook con- taining math and science information as well as other notes useful to a drafts- man. Architectural drawing as well as machine drawing is also offered, and students with aptitude in this direction may specialize in this kind of drawing. Mr. Joseph B. Elvin Many former graduates have had notable success in this trade. There are James O’Connor Shop and Related Instructor unlimited possibilities open to the student with initiative. Mr. Elvin demonstrates a lesson in trigonometry to his class of future draftsmen. Homer Boyer and Asial Burgess turn out blueprints of the drawings they have finished. : Ve X Gun DP SARY and Dacte rte C-0 +21 Tem Nem at sheet metal The great demand by industry for sheet metal workers has resulted in a record of one hundred percent placement in this department. Every industry utilizes men trained in this kind of work. A boy may have his choice of work for construction or roofing companies, plumbing and heating contractors, or in- dustrial plants. The purpose of this trade is to train boys to be able to fabricate three dimen- sional articles from flat sheets of metal. All kinds of metal are used, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and zinc are among the more common. The work in the related classes consists of learning the math and drawing necessary to be able to lay out a pattern for an object of any shape. Science, English, and Social Studies are also required subjects. The demand for workers in this field insures a boy of a good position on completion of this course. i Mr. Mario Pellegrini Shop and Related Instructor Robert Diamond, Richard Cameron and Arthur McIntire work out problems in sheet metal layout. Mr. Pellegrini and Bruce Strange check the dimensions of this metal cash box. — Foes 3 Robert Bouchard George Daley AA NX Pe | John Dembek Dominick Garete David Settle Harold Jarvis 8 bditdnnecurceedmined Pete een. ome ee rae i: ie . a anda’ ae gO ee ator SW hieniea ans aek eee The importance of the welding trade cannot be overstated, since most metal joints to be permanently fastened are joined together by welding. After learn- ing the fundamentals of metal joining by resistance, heli-arc, and oxy-acetylene methods, projects using these techniques are developed. The related work in- cludes elementary metallurgy. This is important since it is necessary to be able to identify correctly all the various metals and to understand the struc- tural changes they undergo during the welding process. Projects involving both welding and brazing are carried out. Experience in the application and selection of filler materials is gained through working in practice joints of both ferrous and non-ferrous material. Senior boys are encouraged to design and build pieces of ornamental iron which are in demand at present. Some of these articles which have been made include, porch railings, porch and interior furniture, ornamental racks, Mr. Donald J. Moran andirons, etc. A very handsome two-tier table with a plate glass top was William Richard Shop and Related Instructor recently completed. This entire boat trailer was made by the boys in this department. Starting with the wheels from a discarded airplane, it was designed and made under Mr. Moran’s direction. Donald Demers and William Henry are putting the finishing touches on it. — � This glass topped table is an example of the wrought iron furniture made in this department. : F 5 F Mr. Moran looks over the finished porch rails and curved grill made by Donald Minkley and Thomas Wood. ye ea, fo We cr machine stitching On entering this shop, one is immediately impressed by the pleasant atmos- phere of industry and attentiveness to the work. In learning to operate the eight different machines, these students also learn to work with speed and accuracy, two necessary factors for success in this field of work. All the latest short cut methods used in industry are also taught by Miss Louise Mazzuchelli, the shop instructor. This is a two year course which trains girls as machine operators. They are prepared to enter the garment industry and may progress to important posi- tions in this trade. Some drapery and slip cover work is also learned. Uniforms and draperies for various departments in the school are made here. Window shades and shower curtains for other schools are made at a great saving. Most of the costumes for “Tradescapades” are produced by these girls. Practical lessons in economy are learned by the remaking of old costumes, and salvaging material of all kinds. Veterans’ hospitals are aided by the work performed by these girls in the making of various articles for the Red Cross.

It is a home which the girls of the Vocational Homemaking Department learn to care for. They cook, sew and clean as any good house- keeper does, and what is more important, they learn of the pleasures that come from making a home. In learning to make their own clothing, the girls also learn how to dress eco- nomically, how to select fabrics that will look and wear well, and how to choose styles and colors that fill their individual needs. Every Tuesday the girls plan and prepare a special luncheon which is served in the apartment dining room. Guests are of their own selection, and may be visitors to the school, their parents or instructors. There is fun, too, in pre- paring special dishes for the various holidays: cookies and fruit cakes for Christmas, pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, heart-shaped cakes for Valentine’s Day, and all the other holidays are celebrated as they come along. Miss Elisabeth Harvey The knowledge and practical skills which these girls are acquiring during their Shop Instructor school days will serve them well in their future homemaking.

Miss Doris Gilson, under whose supervision and instruction these students work, guides them in the planning of the menu, and the preparation and serving of the meals. Wednesday and Thursday of each week finds a “full house” of forty guests. These may include visitors to the school, representatives of various industries, parents and friends. Instructors occasionally find time to bring a group of their students, thereby initiating many young people in the pleasures of eating out. Students from other schools have the opportunity of dining here when Inter-School Student Council holds its annual meeting. The work of the first year students is mainly in the tea room itself. They -— learn to decorate and arrange the tables, under the direction of Mrs. Louise i Johnson. Menus are designed and made, flowers and other seasonal decora- me hg? tions are planned and arranged. These students also learn to serve the meals Ries Done. Gilson prepared by the second and third year boys and girls. Shop Instructor Many qualities of good citizenship are developed by these students: courtesy, efficiency, neatness and dependability are but a few characteristics necessary to success in this field of work.

The Red Cross and other charitable organizations often call on these students for the making of cookies, cakes and other pastries in quantity. Large cakes made for various anniversaries and celebrations also help provide a variety of experiences. The art of cake decorating is as important as it is fascinating. There is always a demand for a student skilled in this phase of commercial baking. The art of Douglas Carr using decorations extends itself not only to cakes, but to cookies, sandwiches : and many other foods. There are a variety of jobs in this field of work, suitable to individual abilities and preferences. Girls may be employed to package or glaze bakery products and progress to more highly skilled positions. Boys frequently start by working 5 si on mixing machines or in taking care of ovens. However, for either boys or Miss Eleanor Carlisle girls there are many opportunities for advancement in the field of commercial Shop Instructor baking. Jeanne Frechette, Paul Bryden, Helen Jesseman and Douglas Carr perform a variety of tasks in producing food for the cafeteria.

There are responsible positions for trained operators at good salaries in many different areas of work. The range of available positions varies from adjusting customer complaints, to stain removal, mending, pack- aging, identifying fabrics and marking. These are only a few of the eighteen different jobs open to boys or girls with the specialized training. There is close cooperation with the advisory committee so that up-to-date pro- cedures and methods may be used. All uniforms, departmental linens and towels are laundered here, thus helping to maintain the traditionally neat appearance of Trade High School. This work results in a large saving to the school department, and provides the necessary trade experience for these students. hi . be oD; Miss Margaret Carew Permanent, well paid positions are in store for the graduates of the Scientific LaMora Shop Instructor Laundry Department. Eleanor Stone and Maeola Young are packaging bundles of laundry for delivery. commercal art The field of Commercial Art offers wide opportunities for employment to the | boy or girl with talent in this direction. All work is of a practical nature which serves as a foundation on which skills are developed. Lettering, two and three dimensional design, layout, perspective, color theory, pen and ink draw- ing and water color techniques are learned. Practical work consists of design- ing and painting scenery for Tradescapades, painting murals for the library and radio station, as well as painting signs and posters for the school, and making drawings for line cuts used in printing. A good background of academic work including English, mathematics, science and mechanical drawing are necessary to help develop creative ability and imagination. The entire course is developed to train students to earn a living in the field of art.

In order to meet the demand for students with , this training, the Printing Department has expanded its facilities to include y, ‘ the type of equipment necessary to provide this experience. The first offset wf printing unit was installed this year. Students are now learning several phases my. of this branch of the printing trade. Ruling and printing of different types of ay 4d offset masters, preparation of photographic negatives, masking and plate mak- ing are some of the fundamental processes these future printers must learn. Mr. Julian Mazzarella Mr. George Mack Shop Instructor Related Instructor In spite of the importance of these new techniques, the learning of the letter press printing process is still an important part of the printing trade, and is not being neglected.

This cylinder press is being operated by David Lundon and Edward Riley. Anthony Stark Ronald Stolpinski beauty cultur C A well rounded course, developed to turn out successful hairdressers, awaits any girl who enrolls in this department. State laws require that a minimum of eighteen hundred hours be spent in learning this trade. Most of this time is spent in learning the mechanics of hairdressing, shampooing, wave setting, permanent waving, manicuring, hair dyeing, and giving scalp treatments. How- ever, these girls also study hygiene and sanitation, bacteriology and physiology. In order to be able to keep records and perform clerical work in a beauty shop, typing and math are also part of the curriculum. A knowledge of the state laws governing this trade is necessary to every girl, as well as English, and color and design related to hair styling. This latter course includes a study of shapes of faces so that the future beautician may be able to advise her customers in how to wear her hair. An operator’s license is granted after a student has completed the required 3 time and passed the state board examinations. She is then eligible to take the Wass Belle Bransheld final state examination after being employed at least six months as an operator. Shop Instructor The successful completion of the second examination qualifies the operator as a full fledged hairdresser. The young man giving a demonstration in hair cutting is Roland Falardeau, a graduate of this department. ——— — Jennie Blazejowski Dorothy Borelli , o “. oes Johanna Hoover Gail Kibbe Nancy LaPlante Helen Lyons Carolyn Wood dental assisting Dr. Thomas MacElliott Kathleen Buckley Helen Prystowski Alice Ralston The aim of this department is to provide, in one year’s intensive training, the necessary experience that will lead to employment as an assistant in a dentist’s office. Practical experience is gained in the well equipped school clinic. Dr. Thomas MacElliott, who is in charge of the clinic this year, will give dental care to those students who do not have a regular dentist. The girls assist Dr. Mac- Elliott in his work on the students, which provides the same situations which will be encountered in any dentist’s office. Laboratory work i s also one of the necessary skills that must be developed. Making and repairing dentures, mak- ing plaster molds and model teeth are a few of the many techniques which are learned. An X-ray machine and dark room facilities also make it possible for the girls to learn the process of making and developing X-rays. The girls also gain experience in the art of receiving patients and in keeping records expertly and efficiently.

High school graduates, taking this course, are qualified to work in doctors’ offices. Their duties are primarily, to assist with the medical services; how- ever, they are also required to look after office routine. During February, girls are often placed in doctors’ offices for part-time work. Laboratory work is given in cooperation with the Wesson Memorial Hospital. A rotating daily schedule permits two girls to spend the day working in the laboratory. Other practical experiences include that of assisting the school doctor with the physical examinations given to the Freshman girls each fall, and to arrange the chest x-ray schedule for the Hampden County Tuberculosis Association.

Attendant nurses perform a valuable community service. The training which they receive qualifies them to work in hospitals, private homes or homes for the aged, chronic or convalescent patient. Hospitals in Springfield cooperate in giving this course, by providing twelve months of instruction and supervised clinical experience, in addition to the preliminary twelve weeks of instruction at Trade High School. Physicians and nurses give the training in the care of the sub-acute, convalescent and chronic patient. A license is issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing, after the following conditions are met: successful completion of the course, at which time a certificate is granted by Trade High School, and satisfactory completion of the examination given by the state licensing board. Many opportunities for employment are then available. Some of the sources of positions are: hospitals, private institutions and agencies, private homes and visiting nurse services. t Miss Faye-Marie Gracey, R.N.

They are: Marilyn Mackenchie, Mary Smagacz and Mary Zawizsa. —— Gertrude Gaouette and Patricia Elmore are seen in two phases of work in this course: at the left, in learning to make correct measurements; under Miss Harvey’s supervision. and at the right, in learning to cook for special diets, electrical Mr. Ernest Hesse Related Instructor Warren Mizen Douglas Sanford Practical experience in shop work is taking on added importance for the boys in the Electrical Department. They are responsible for all the installation work being performed in the addition of new control panels and testing equipment in the shop. There is also being added extensive wiring and testing equipment for motors and controllers. This new equipment is expected to greatly expand the facilities of this department. Aside from work on motors, learning to wire a house is a necessary part of the training. This is carried on by use of the model framework of a house, built for this purpose. All types of wiring are installed. The related work, under the direction of Mr. Ernest Hesse, is of great importance. In working out electrical experiments, students learn the operation of vacuum tubes, photo- electric cells, timing circuits, rectifiers and amplifiers. This year there has been a great demand for electrical workers. All the seniors are, or have been on the cooperative work-study program. The prospects are for 100 percent placement in this trade. Ernest Dillon, Christian Schaitman, James Meissner and Rene LaNois are learning to wire circuits on this large practice board in the electrical laboratory. __� Mr. Clayton Bliss Mr. John D’Arcy Shop Instructor Shop Instructor Gilbert Jasmin Harold Jorey James Meissner Richard Noyes Edward Patenaude George Poulopoulos Terrence Reidy Roger Rooney dike George Suhm Hubert Tacke Ailanwzlavior Ty ed NATE hee : ; baa BAG erties Ni ado and i clevis.

The work in class consists primarily of learning the principles of salesmanship. In addition, much emphasis is placed on display through the use of the large store window which is part of the facilities of this department. Local merchants cooperate through the loan of store merchandise and by sending display personnel to assist in arranging merchandise. Success in the retailing field is founded on having a pleasing personality and an ability to work with others.

During his senior year, a boy may be placed in a job in his trade so that he may become accustomed to industrial methods while he is still in school. This program requires that a student spend his class week in school and his shop week at work in his trade. ,In this way, academic requirements are filled, and a student may graduate with his class. It has been found that this program brings about a better understand- ing between employer and student, and helps the young worker in the many adjustments he must make in what is often his first position. Students in financial need have also been greatly benefited. It has frequently meant that they might remain in school and graduate, yet contribute to the family finances. Employees as well as students have been enthusiastic about this program. The guidance which a student receives helps him to become a mor e efficient and happier worker. This is of great benefit to the employer as well as the student. Recommendation by the head of the department is necessary for a student to be placed on this program. In addition, he must also be approved by the Director or Guidance Counselor. Mr. Herman Drewes Cooperative Training Instructor (Auto. Trades) William Sheehan is a cooperative student who works in the drafting department for Baldwin- Duckworth Company. : auto body Repairing damaged automobiles is an art requiring a high degree of skill and craftsmanship. A knowledge of many trades is also important. Since it is often necessary to make new parts, these students must have some knowledge of machine tools. The ability to use welding equipment must be developed so that auto parts may be rejoined. A working knowledge of the sheet metal trade is also necessary, because automobile bodies are formed and repaired by ACS ueUsto pe hte Ee using many of the principles of this trade. The use and maintenance of power equipment must be mastered. This includes the air sander, air gun, hydraulic jack and pneumatic hammer. Repainting cars involves a study of mixing and matching colors, and the care and use of spray equipment. These boys also learn to repair convertible tops and replace broken windows and windshields. Mr. Ernest Boucher Shop Instructor Many former students are the proud owners of their own business.

The young auto mechanics who are receiving their training here, learn to turn their interests and abilities into profitable use as a trade. Mr. James Perry, Mr. Samuel Tarnauskas and Mr. Laurier Noiseaux supervise the shop activities, and Mr. James Brown is in charge of the related class work. During his first year, a boy receives fundamental training in how and why an auto operates. He also learns about standard and automatic transmissions, the clutch, brakes and steering apparatus. By the time a student has reached his second year, he is ready for all types of work on the automobile engine, and during his third year he receives all types of mechanical problems to solve, and learns about the electrical system of a car. As in any up-to-date garage, much of the latest automotive equipment may be found. Learning to operate it efficiently is an important part of the training program. Some of this equipment includes an electric tune-up machine, a synchrograph, a generator and starter tester, a wheel alignment device, and many other pieces to perform specialized jobs. Repair work is done on all makes of cars, and the students’ work is checked by an instructor on a test run. Many successful garage owners and mechanics are graduates of this department.

This need has arisen from the increasing use of Diesel power and Diesel engines in the past several years. Students receive training in the various combustion systems, care and testing of fuel injectors and nozzle or spray valves. Mr. Vyska instructs this group of boys in the servicing of a multi-injection pump on a Hercules engine. ‘The boys ; ; , ; : F are: Douglas Roncarati, Joseph Meucci, James Mulloy, This course is given in cooperation with three other departments.

A student must spend one year in the Diesel Department, one and one-half years in the Auto Mechanic s Department and one-half year in the Machine Department. To be qualified to work for railroads or industries, a boy must spend one year in the Diesel Department and two years in the Machine Shop. For Diesel Drafting, the third possibility, two years are spent in the Drafting Department and one-half year each in the Diesel and Machine Shop. Mr. Frank C.

To be considered for a high school diploma, a student must successfully com- plete the requirements in English, Mathematics, Science, History and Social Studies. This year, every boy has also been required to take oral English, a new course given by Mrs. Simes. Its primary purpose is to teach students to speak more effectively.

The number of departments and trades from which a new student may choose is often the source of confusion. There are eighteen trades from which a boy may select and the girls may make a choice from twelve. Incoming students are interviewed either by Mrs. Teresina Thompson or Mr. Gerald Fitzgerald, who offer assistance in selecting a trade. It is important that a student make a choice which is suitable to his character and abilities, since his future success depends on this choice. In the spring, junior high school students visit the school so that they may see at first hand what the school has to offer them. Seeing the shops at work gives these young people a clear idea of a trade. Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time so that they may discuss the possibilities for their chil- drens’ future with both shop instructors and guidance counselors. Mr. Gerald Fit Id ; ¢ : 2 ei. On entering Trade High School, the new student, together with a counselor, examines his past records so that an intelligent vocational choice may be made.

Hal alas Under the direction of Mr. Harry LaBroad, this program has greatly expanded this year to include a separate visual aids room for the girls’ department. This gives the opportunity for greater use of the equipment. A variety of different types of projectors is available for use with lantern slides, 35 mm colored slides and film strip. The most versatile machine, the delineascope, may be used to project any kind of printed material. student Assocation The financial organization which operates the extra curricular activities of the students is the Student Association. Because of the low dues, many stu- dents are financially able to support this organization. Last year approximately ninety percent of the student body joined. The S. A. offers financial support to many affairs throughout the year. Several important school projects are underway because of the financial aid made available by the S. A.

For the past two years, Trade High School has offered an accident insurance pro- gram whereby a student may buy five hundred dollars’ worth of insurance for one dollar. Mr. Frank O’Brien is the faculty adviser for this program. Mrs. Anna Roy, the school nurse and Dr. Raymond Gelfman, the school phys- ician, take care of the students’ health. The competent first aid administered by Mrs. Roy has often avoided serious consequences of an accident.

Although the entire school unites its efforts to produce this show, its success is owed largely to the talents of Mrs. Virginia Simes, who writes and directs the entire presentation. Students are encouraged to take part, and more than two hundred of them do. Aside from providing experience for those appearing on the stage, it also provides a practical experience for nearly every shop. Each department is called upon to contribute some of its talents in producing the show. Everyone works toward the common goal of making “Tradescapades” a success. Trade High has a rapidly expanding music program. The band, under the capable direction of Mr. Donald Palowsky, appeared in Boston at the National Convention of the American Vocational Association, which was held at the Hotel Statler. A number of band members delighted the audience in “Trades- capades” with their antics as a clown band. Mr. Palowsky gives musical in- struction to students interested in learning to play an instrument in the band. Mrs. Virginia Simes Many instruments are owned by the school and are available to students. Glee Club Glee Club and piano classes are under the direction of Mrs. Simes. Assembly programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter provide an opportunity for the Glee Club to entertain the school, and the graduation exercises are enriched by the excellent musical program presented by this group. In order to develop an interest and appreciation of music, classes in group piano instruction are offered. The purpose of this instruction is to teach stu- dents to play popular music and accompaniments to old favorites. This does not take the place of conventional methods and is not intended for students who are seriously interested in music. However, it is often the first step in leading a boy or girl into a more serious study of music. The long range purpose behind this musical program is its cultural value to students in the future. Boys and girls who carry away with them some mus- ical knowledge, will have a happier and richer life as a result of this experience.

In constant use in the spring and fall, it makes a varied outdoor sports program possible. Autumn sports include touch football and speedball for the boys, and the girls play soccer, speedball and field hockey. The spring program consists primarily of softball for the boys and girls alike. During the winter, the indoor sports include basketball, volleyball, games and the use of the apparatus for both boys and girls. In addition, the boys enjoy a workout on the trampoline. The intershop contests in both basketball and softball are the sources of great interest among the students. There is much good-natured rivalry between the teams at the play- off. Last year’s softball winners were the members of the Commercial Art department, and the basketball contest was won by the Cabinet department. All the major seasonal varsity sports are open to interested students. These include, football, soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball, bowling and track. The s rifle club has the advantage of having an excellent indoor range where matches Mr. Edward Plumb Mr. Edward McGibney with other schools are held.
